OP, can't say I blame you!

Yeah, what are you replacing it with?

They don't make the S5 in sedans do they? I thought the s4 was like the m3? The only s model I ever liked was a 2014 s8. That thing is smooth and pullls.

The S5 is basically a two door S4. Audi's competitor with the M3 is the RS4 (and RS5). The S models are one tier below the RS models.

Lol I own both so I frequent both. Both brands offer different driving experiences and I find both fun.

Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong, it was fun to drive I just never felt like taking it on far trips cause something always went wrong.

As for what I'm replacing it with, well a 2013 F150, no payments, no insurance bills, no gas, no maintenance. Also known as a truck provided by my work. I've had a work truck nearly the same time I had the BMW so the BMW rarely got driven. I think I put less thank 20k kms on it in 2.5 years of ownership.
Bought for 14k, sold for 12k unfortunately I included the pretty much new winter tires and rims and new brakes etc, but the heated seat didn't work and the buyer knew but still wanted it. So I'm happy!

I use to be on the Audi forum when I owned an A6 and 4000CS Quattro.

I'll be moving onto the Porsche Cayenne forum one of these days.

Their cooling issues are even more notorious than the N62, only thing that's scaring me away. Otherwise the GTS looks soooo tempting. A 911 s though might be somewhere in the not so distant future though…

Cant go wrong with a free replacement lol!

My eyes are wandering myself, like Upallnight I've been looking at Cayennes. The Turbo looks wild but I am wondering if non-scheduled maintenance will be even worse than on E53's.

I've driven both s5 and rs4 and from my humble opinion rs4 is the one to get. S4 with 4.2 v8 is too heavy to produce any kind of fun shenanigans.
