S4 vs 335 for distance commuter
I am looking for a change from the diesel pickups I travel in. I drive a 7 hour round trip at least once a week in a 4 season climate, so would prefer AWD. Total annual mileage is around 40-45k. Can anybody speak of the differences between the S4 and the current BMW awd series (I can't keep up with their nomenclature anymore). I considered an STI, but think its too small and would be uncomfortable after a long drive. E series awd is boring and I don't need the big Benz star stigma.
I am leaning toward S4, but when performing review searches hear more bad comments than I would like. Don't care about fuel economy so much as comfort and performance. Any thoughts? (also thinking C4S, but thats probably a bad comparison)

I've never liked BMW's AWD... just doesn't feel right to me. I think, if you must have AWD, Audi is the way to go.
The 335i is a great car and if we were comparing the RWD version to the S4, it would certainly be much tougher for me.
lol even the BMW guy is saying S4

For a long distance commuter I would go with the 335xi just because of gas milage. The s4 has horrible gas milage. My close friend was getting 12-15mpg when he had his. I've heard people getting 20-24mpg with the 335i.

In term of performance. I Agree with you on B6 or B7 S4 but not B5 S4.
But when I comes to B5's, I'll stick with my E36 M3's.
