S5 looks the best hands down with a perfect interior. The M3 does look good in that arrest-me red as well.

 

those are some VERY nice pictures. ill take the s5 home though

 

S5 is beautiful

 

S5 is not beautiful

 

you're the first and probably last person I hear to ever hear say this!Although you are completely entitled to your own opinion, I find it hard to dislike the lines of this car

 

s5 looks WAY better then the new m3...specially inside.

 

S5>M3

I still like the M3 though...

 

S5 is THE new coupe , sorry M3

 

I'll take either one

 

S5 or 335i for me, the M3 looks like shit, especially the rear apron, disgusting.

 

Those pictures clearly accentuate just how hot the S5 really is. Absolutely a stunning looking car, even with that Auto Union snout, which I must admit has grown on me.

 

A shame the S5 is so overpriced. It really is gorgeous.

 

Doesnt seem overpriced to me. Outstanding v8 with all the luxury touches seem worth the $54k price tag to me.

 

S5 hands down.

 

I'd rather have the BMW. Audi's pricing models have pissed me off to the point I hold it against the car.

 

I love both of those cars...but my vote has to go to the S5. Any talks of an RS5 in the making?

 

I take this one

 

Lol C63 AMG ftw. But I don't know I would have test drive both cars to figure out which one is better. But right now the S5 looks better than the M3.

 

i agree with SRK, i'd have to test drive.


ross quit droolin!

 

thanks for the link. i've been looking for a side to side picture comparison.

i agree that the s5 wins the interior, hands down.

but i keep going back and forth with the exterior.

and i really like the cf roof on the m3. but the same goes to the led headlights.

regardless, i wish i had enough money to be able REALLY choose between the two. it'd be a good problem to have.

 

yeah - I would take the M3 over the S5, hands down no questions asked. the main beef I have with the S5 is the lines along the side..:





they just dont vibe with me - they make the car look like some car I dont like. i prefer straight swooping lines.. the curves dont look good. it looks more like a "family" type of coupe - rather than a sports car (M3). of course, this is all imo.

I do agree the S5 has a much nicer interior - you may remember my quips about the M3 interior from the past (I said it doesn't "fit" with the visage of the M3).

look at how clean the lines are on the M3, by comparison - all the lines work together so well to make a cohesive whole - the S5 looks like it was designed by multiple people with different goals. The M3 looks machined by one team, working together in harmony.

 

I don't like the profile of the S5. It looks like its got a hump-back....

 

S5>

 

I suppose I am thinking about it in the wrong sense. Given the cars that are out there, it seems like a premium to me; but I haven't seen or driven one so I am probably wrong.

 

M3 please.

 

What's up w/ all the S5 praise. I'll wait til both hit the streets and see what the aftermarket does for each, but the S5 looks terribly boring, especially compared to the M3.

 

I would have to chose the M3 still.

Now if we were talking about an RS5 vs. M3, that woulb be more of a challenge

 

boring is a good way to put it. glad not everyone here is riding the S5's sack

 

Ooooo...it would be such a toughie choice between the 2 coupes. But, if you throw the C63 into the mix, I'd be -ing in circles because I really can't choose!

 

shit Id get the M3 based on redline alone... M3 = 8400... S5 = 7000

 

they look exactly the same...only difference is the side view mirrors...M3 has an air hole...i'll take the hole

 

uhh.. how about

edit: maybe, through beer goggles.

 

I didn't like the S5 at first, the exterior looks like it was penned by the same team who styled the now defunct Monte Carlo. But I admit it's growing on me.

Interior hands down goes to the Audi.

Driving dynamics of course goes to the M3 (or so I've read).

Tough choice.

 

I'll take either one.. but the S5 FTW

 

Is it just me or are quad-tip exhausts are becoming the next big thing?

 

I like the M3 interior better. The red seats will look dated in, umm, 2 days.

 

the s5 looks classy and just so happens to beat you upside the head with its performance. the m3 looks the part, no questions asked

 

M3>S5 exterior look and interior look...the S5's back end looks too long for me.

 

There's an S5 that rides around where I live and I can't help but stare. It is absolutely stunning to look at.

I'll take the S over the M. The M looks too busy for my tastes...
