BMW M3 vs. Audi S5

i don't know about you guys, but i think the m3 is better looking than the s5 inside out. the s5 is pretty bland IMO. the only thing I think it has over the m3 is the recaro seat, hehe.

I love the aesthetics of the Audi way more over the BMW. To me the BMW is just far too dull and reserved, which in my opinion it shouldn't be considering the price and power. The M3, however, dominates in speed which makes it a tough choice. Your thoughts?

so the S5 is like the hot chick that sucks in bed. the M3 is the conservatives chick that rocks your world in bed

i agree with your assessment but if performance, handling, "soul", has to do with the equation then the M3 is a far superior car. If you're in love with the audi, hell it's gorgeous, why not wait for the RS5

+1

The S5 has a disproportionate large front end

IDK about the interior, S5 seems a bit better.

good analogy

The S5 sportback is no longer a V8, it's turbo V6

Who knows, maybe the RS5 is turbo V6 as well?

No the RS5 is a ultra high revving 4.2FSI, with a redline at 8500rpm and a cut-off at 8750rpm.

Personally not my engine of choice but then I am not the one in charge of quattroGmbH.
