Their virtual cockpit is better than the live cockpit or whatever BMW called it.

However, iDrive on the center screen is light years ahead of Audi. Even iDrive in my '17 X5 (6.0 I think is what I have) is way better than the A5 lineup.
I have read this in some reviews of the S5 as well - something like a transmission lag on the throttle. Have not driven it myself but too bad because it looks good and I like the sport back version.
