    I wanted to see this test for some time... I'm just confused, why no one is comparing Audi S4 with BMW 335i xDrive...

    Andy, check out Car and Driver's comparison of the two. They have a whole sidebar dedicated to explaining why they went with the RWD 335i, and not xDrive (basically, it's the more sporting option of the two).

    I just find 335i xDrive to be completly natural oponent for S4...

    3.0l vs 3.0l
    V6 vs R6
    S/C vs turbo
    quattro vs xDrive
    S-tronic vs DKG (if it is an option for 335i xDrive)

    Edmunds came to pretty much the same conclusions too:

    nope. afaik xdrive cannot be equipped with sport suspension. let each car do what it does best the way it is designed to do it.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    When you see the kind of results the S4 is getting it's about time Audi seen fit to put the same engine in the S5 instead of waiting.
    Search and you will find the truth.
