From someone who has been driving BMWs since 1986, neither of your statements is remotely accurate.

It's a BMW, say no more? Not anymore. BMW has been moving toward luxury and Audi toward sport. I'm not saying Audi has surpassed BMW, but it's now far from a slam dunk. Unfortunate.

Performance wise BMW takes the cake? Not even close comparing the 535xi and S4. The handling of the S4 with Audi's sport differential is closer to my Porsche than my BMW. The Audi has 30+ more hp in a much lighter car. And BMW has really botched its first electric power steering application ruining the brand's historically famous steering feel and feedback.

Don't get me wrong. I think the OP should opt for the BMW as well. But you can't just dismiss Audi anymore.
