I gotta be honest, between the A5/S5.....I would rather have the A5. The price difference just doesn't justify the marginal increase in straight line speed, while sacrificing handling/and economy. I love my e92 M, and wouldn't get rid of it for anything less then a vehicle like a 911tt, R8, etc. Even the RS5 will be awesome, but if I can get the same performance out of my M, while getting 7-10mpg better at a lower price it seems like a bargain.

Of course, the big pieces of plastic on the front of the car look bad, but I am sure that you could replace/remove those at some point. My girlfriend is looking at a new car, and it has pretty much come down to an A5 or a 335xi. Tough choice. Can't really lose I suppose, the A5 is all she really needs, the 335 would satisfy my speed needs during the Vermont winters though...
