That depends. If the S5 V6 TT ends up having the same problems as the BMW 335i I6TT (HPFP, waste gate, etc), then I would say it's a wash.

Current possible choices:
-S4/S5
-C63 (used, possibly handed down)
-Facelifted E92 M3 (maybe even an e90, but I'm not a sedan kinda guy)
-Next-gen 3XXi

Man, I wish you the very best with your next car. I hope you can make money the right way and afford the very best .....for e.g: LP-560..

It's a SC only V6....No TT. And we can only hope for the best.

I'm just grateful to be in such a gifted position. I'd be happy to keep my car for as long as it runs.

Interesting, I don't know if a SC is any more reliable than turbos, but I do like the distinctive sound that SCs make. It sounds like a jet in my friends STi.

The exhaust note is godlike. I'd rather have the S5's exhaust over the M3's (but not the C63's ). It's the tuning capabilities that make the V6 so tempting.

I have never owned a FI car so I have no idea . But an S4 will be replacing the 330xi most likely.

I do like the S5's current V8 exhaust note but I love the way a V8 sounds above 8000rpm in a M3.....it's addictive.......with a exhaust mod (Eisemann) on a M3, it's

Offtopic, looks wise.......S5 FTW

Your friend has a supercharged STI?? Really??.....Are you sure it's SC?

I wonder why Audi would be in such a hurry to move to FI?

They've pretty much always been FI. Past two gens of S4s have been NA V8s., that's all.

Don't be racist. You could just have easily replaced "gypped" with "screwed" or "fucked" or "SOL" but you had to be a douchebag...

Gypsies are people TOO!!
