Also about modding the S4, if you need more power, there's Stasis that makes a tune to bring the power to 410hp and they match your manifacture warranty! They also offer handling and braking mods, also with warranty! Your best option if you're thinking of modding i think! http://www.stasisengineering.com/sig...ies-s4-30-2010 |

I am comparing it to the e9x. I have not driven a new 335
Also, Carlos lago has a different experience with the car than me. It handles and steers very loose without the sport diff. Idk what would happen if the car I drove did have one. I expected to realy like the s4, but was met with disappointment

Sport diff is the game changer. It drives like a RWD with sport diff and is very fun. Don't even bother test driving an Audi without this option.

It's sad to say this here but Audi seems to dominate in every category of sport sedan over BMW exept in the M3 category! IMO S4>335 S6>550 S8>760 and from what we've seen with the S6 vs M5, I think it's safe to say the new RS6 will be better then the M5! Let's just hope the next M3/M4 won't be a let down!

an e46 330i has plenty of torque if his e93 m3 did not have enough torque to his liking? 330i has 225 foot pounds/230 hp. Not sure that would be more "low end" than the e93 300 foot pounds/414 hp

My wife used to own an A4 2.0T before getting her Land Rover. Obviously, it's a different car from the s4, but I was completely turned off by Audi in the 2 years we owned it. Numerous mechanical problems and fit/finish issues - ie switches breaking, trim snapping, latches breaking - the list goes on and on. I don't know if the s4 and a4 having similar steering, but if so, the Audi was definitely numb. Audi interiors are more luxurious, but after two year of ownership, it just felt like a poorly built car. I've heard enough stories from friends to make me believe that this was not an isolated experience. My 2c. I'd personally get a 550, if you are looking for comfort and torque.

I came from a e92 M3 and now driving an S4 prestige with sports diff.
S4 is the better overall daily driver 335's interior is really outdated compared to the S4 with the sports diff and audi drive select, i like the feel of the S4 better than the 335 (not the F30). |

OP - if you're still on the fence
Get an S4 and then get the ecu tuned by Stasis (audi warranty is voided but Stasis takes over the warranty). I will be getting mine flashed I believe the power will be around 407hp/387lbtq with the flash. not bad for a daily driver. |

Other than the weight bias, which is absolutely irrelevant in the O.P's case, i'd say it's better in almost every comparable category.
faster more grip torque vectoring LSD rear end better gas mileage no lag more responsive throttle sounds better better interior better sound system I prefer MMI over iDrive all weather speed DSG option The only toss up would be steering feel. Both cars make 400whp with bolt on's, but one's much more effective at putting it down on the ground
