Resurrecting an old thread because of how disappointed I am with present-day BMW after what I just read in the April issue of C&D (435i vs S5 comparison).
The Audi "feels like the better balanced and livelier car".
"
The BMW's numbness saps driver confidence, as the car doesn't provide enough information to form a complete picture of what's happening at the tires."
"BMW is going soft on its old priorities, just as others are zeroing in."
