Am I crazy?

What's going on everyone, so some of you may remember me when I had my e92 that I unfortunately totaled this past May. I got into a 2013 Audi S4 fully loaded and although I absolutely love it and its a great car, my head is still in the BMW world and I know these cars like the back of my hand and they are so easy to mod compred to the s4. I have a chance to jump on a 2011 LCI e90 335xi fully loaded (m-sport, premium, cold weather, etc) with equivelent mileage as my S4 (20k miles). I would also be saving about $160 a month on my car payments. Just figured I would get everyones thoughts on here. Thanks fellas!

Here was my old e92:





Current S4:

+1 If it's financially better for you to take on the 335 and enjoy it more, I say go for it and come back to e90post!

Its a waste of money in my opinion. For starters you are going from a 2013 audi s4 to an older 2011 bmw 335 so you are now downgrading , regardless of what most people think , you are getting an older car . While you may think that you are saving money , in reality you probably are going to loose money by selling ( or trading in ) your new S4 and then loose a little more money in tax buying a 2011 335

If you really like the bmw more , sure go for it ... But it does not make sense to do it, at least for most people ...

Now if you were to go for a newer 435 or 235 then sure , that makes more sense....At least you are getting a newer bmw ( newer model)

BTW your 335 looked pretty

Then again , you could do worse things ... I say go for it if you really like the 2011 335

I'd stick with the S4, ignore modding altogether since if your gonna mod you will end up throwing more $ into it

My girlfriend owns a Q5 and a close friend mine has an A4.I've come to hate the user interface in them. I mean the way the features function. To name a few:
Shutting off engine turns off radio. Imagine the times you just want to shut of engine but keep radio on while waiting for someone,in this case you will have manually turn the radio back on. Audi is the first maker I've ever experienced to have this set up like this.
Heated seats won't switch itself off till you do so. If your backseat passengers forget to turn it off,you're screwed. In BMW,it will turn it off after a certain period of time has passed and you haven't come back to the car.
Controls to fan speeds and blow direction is hiden. You have to press a button before you can adjust them. You can't even see how they are set without pressing a button. Very stupid to hide those very important informations and could be distracting sometimes.
Memory seat,you'll have to hold the botton till the seat is back to memorized position. In bmw,you only to hold the button when the car in move. Otherwise,only takes one press of the button instead of hold it it.
They might not not be huge deals to a lot of people. But I do care about the details. And it seems Bmw has given those designs more thoughts or has better sense in engineering the car.
Sorry,pretty irrelevant to op's question. Just a bit venting...Personlly,I will never go for Audi.
