Here is a comparison test done by German magazine Autozeitung. They test the Audi S5 with the BMW 335i coupe. Unlike the previous comparison test that placed the BMW 335i coupe ahead of the Audi S5, Autozeitung chooses the Audi S5 over the BMW 335i. Also, unlike the last comparison test that was posted here on Autospies between these two cars, the Audi S5 was the faster car in acceleration tests.
So it basically is a toss up between the BMW 335i and Audi S5. If you want a less exotic exterior design, a more basic bare-bones interior design with a basic interpretation of luxury but excellent driving dynamics when you take the car to the track or on a twisty sterch of road...get the BMW 335i.
If you want a more exotic, fresher exterior design with a clearly more upscale interior that combines fine materials with excellent ergonomics, but are willing to sacrifice a little in terms of driving enjoyment when compared to the BMW 335i and you need or could use the added convenience of Quattro AWD, the Audi S5 is the car for you.
