I agree. If your 535 is going to cost 75K you are better off going with a 550xi and not go with the bang olufsen system. I got the regular premium audio upgrade and its plenty good enough already.
My 535xi came out to just about 72K and i regret not going with the bigger motor now.
That said you can not seem to pick two completely opposite cars to decide on. Ask you self these questions
Do you need the room?
The S5 is at best a two seater. The rear seats are a joke unless its a midget sitting back there.
Are you after performance handling or ride comfort?
The 535xi is luxury sedan first and sports sedan second. It does not handle nearly as well as a 3 series or the S5 but in terms of ride comfort it can't be beat.
Personally I would be going for a M3 coupe over a S5 if i wanted a sports car.
