Please show me where the evidence is that the stock 335i beats the S5 on the track. The only info I know of is the Fifthgear entertainment show, I only Sport Auto have tested both and on the ring they posted identical times and on Hockenhiem the S5 was comfortably ahead.
I would agree the M3 would eat it alive, but everyone should view the S5 as in between the 335i and the M3, with it's performance being closer to the 335i but it's image being closer to the M3.
Oh and yes the RS5 will be a monster which will be as big an improvement over the E92 as the RS4 was to the E46.
