Wait a minute!
Am I the only person who caught this????

Are you saying you got a quote for a 2008 E92 M3 of $49,900???

I know you said you are in the military and get cars at invoice, but is this correct?
If so, I guess my estimation of the E92 M3 having a base MSRP of $56-58K seems about right.

Wow, I didn't think BMW released any pricing on the E92 M3 yet?

Either way, the S5 looks awesome.

here is a video of the A5 and S5, enjoy, http://www.germancarblog.com/2007/04...eo-review.html, the S5 is one sharp looking car, and with the Ben&Olufsen sound system 500 watts of pure pleasure, yes this car is an EVERYDAY GT.:rocks:

Most people in AUDI'S DON'T, and from the press reports its a GT not a sports coupe. In my opion you should have saved $/£ and bought a 335i and enjoyed the drive more, or waited for the m3. If you could not wait then buy an RS4.
You mention a good deal which is important, but if you were looking at cars at that price range why compromise something you have to live with for a few thousand bucks you could afford.
This whole forum is about guys starving their families to pursue a passion.

an M3 does 0-60 in 4.9 and the S5 in 5.1 sec, I don't see the M3 killing it by 2 tenths of a second, plus the S5 has 325 FP of torque compared to the M3'S 295, how can the Audi with 355 HP have more torque than the 414HP M3, it really puzzles the mind, even the 6 cylinder twin turbo 335i has more torque than the M3, the M3 is a FANTASTIC car, but the S5 is no slouch either.
