I agree with everything you said....no comparison between the seats. Also, being in Canada, quattro counts for a lot to me.

You've had 2 bimmers in the last 5 years, so can you tell me how you feel about the user-friendliness of BMW's nav/multimedia system compared to Audi's? My impression is that BMW's system is a little simpler, but I dont have much experience using either.
Didnt bother with a NAV system with my bmw(s) as they are notoriously bad. They are reputed to never be properly up to date. And then they want to charge you for updating them. So, spending that kind of money for a little convenience whereas my DROID is extremely accurate. Same for the Audi. Would rather spend the money on the slip differential and adaptive suspension and just use the little clip holder wife got me for my DROID.

Drove the 335i sport version within days of the S4 and liked the S4 as the shifts were more fluid.

Default Great review - thank you

Agree on most points and value for the money/daily driver/stealth points its right up there.

I looked at S5's but the S4 is way too damn practical for street, track and driving my Mother-in-Law to the grocery store in comfort

Extra points.

I'll save the 911 for driving track days once the kids are gone.
