But make sure S5 come with sport diff and always have dynamic mode on. Otherwise steering feel sucks. Is RS5 worth it? yes, absolutely but I can't live with driving an auto so I am happy with my MT S5.


How wonderful! Both cars to own. What joy that must bring...

Also keep in mind that the S5 went from V-8 to V-6 a few years back, so if you are buying used you need to make sure the tune is available. The tune in the video above is for V-6, which was on S-4 at an earlier date.
Yeah, I saw the video earlier, that's what really made me think on whats best. Thats kinda why I really like the 335i - the tuning potential is so there but the M3 would be a cash cow to get more out of it like the amount you can just get with a JB4.

The wheels are 20 inch! And the brakes are sweet!
