Which is exactly why I drive Audi and not BMW. Audi = understated, BMW = flashy

Default BMW looks a bit cheap, especially the gear shift. The double hump dash is aweful!

Kinda funny how the exterior of the Audi is simple and understated compared to the BMW, but the interior is opposite. I still like the Audi interior much better, but the BMW is more simple, almost to the point of looking cheap.

Default The RS5 will correct any shortfalls of the S5 vs. M3

Audi has positioned itself between the BMW models in performance and price. Pay a little more than a 335xi and get more with the S5. I bet the RS5 will be the same with the M3. Pay a little more and get a bit more performance.

I really hate Audi's open cupholder design, it really looks so unfinished.

Default Yes & its pervasive! You'll find it on the R8, and new TT as well. Seems like a step back from

what was present in the MKI TT or slide out cupholders in Audi's sedans
