I am not following your logic here...
If you load the 335XI the same way you load the S4, the price of the 335XI will also be at 53k and more...
So, how is then the loaded S4 in the M3 category and not in the 335 category?
Both (335 and S4) are the 6-cyl FI engines, the M3 is the V8.
What category would RS4 be in then, according to your logic?
I think you need the (snobby BMW) reality check here. I came off the E90 and have weighted my options...
Re-calculate again, please...
Base S4 is close to $10k cheaper than the Base M3
Loaded S4 is more than 10k cheaper than loaded M3.
Definitely in NO category they are the same...
