I also don't mind the seats and have had no issues with long drives.

To each his own, but I don't think many would agree that the S5 engine is too loud.
And I have read numerous comments recently of people complaining about the volume of some of the aftermarket exhausts.

I just think the people complaining about the exhaust noise are obviously have made the wrong selection of car. If I wanted a quiet V8 I'd get that boat called ... whatever luxu boat box car you recommend.

That's even funnier people buying aftermarket exhaust complaining they are too loud? WTF, you just bought an after market exhaust, idiot, clearly, you are into performance. Do, you go to the race track, and tell the teams there cars should be quieter?

It's like buying Harley and then complaining it's too noisy, huh?

If you had read the complete sentence, you would have seen that it was the ECU upgrade and the exhaust.

Few harleys have stock exhaust. For some reason the harley riders strive for early onset of deafness, for both themselves and innocent bystanders.

And the cops let them get away with it, while stopping cars that are only half as loud as these two-wheeled behemoths.

Default 335i vs A5 2.0t

you need to drive the A5 2.0t. There is a huge difference in power. My best friend has a 335i and we have raced around a bit. I have a 3.2 A5 and i can not keep up with him very well. I have driven his car and it is much faster than mine. 335i 0-60 is under 5 seconds per road and track. A5 2.0t is about 6.7 seconds. Just for the record a .3 difference is significant. if you are worried about power get the 3.2 engine

i like my A5 much better though.

Thanks. I did test drive the A5 2.0T and really was impressed how it felt. The 335i is a great car no doubt. I think I've made my decision which is I'll just wait until I can get the S5 cab.

I am confused with your post.. you start talking about the 2.0T yet you jump into the 3.2.. which one are you comparing? anyhow.. none of them cant match the 335i performance, 335i is a match for the S5 only. I would think the 3.2 could rival the 330?? and the 2.0T the bmw 328?? I own a 3.2 and so far 335i's slow down to stare at my car.. I love it!
