I really want the alcantara as well to be honest. Nappa bolsters with the alcantara centers would be perfect. Really disappointed we don't get all of the options due to certification/options restricting.
Yeah, I have and actually prefer the Alcantara on my S4. Got black leather with silver Alcantara. More comfortable in the summer vs leather and has a plush/soft feeling to it. I did get the Black Beaufort wood/aluminum trim though (an extra $1k) which looks really sweet, though I would have liked if they had covered more surfaces with it for the price.
Sigh, some lady just turned left into my driver side door. Total right off -(Yeah that's almost exactly the one we have, same color and all. Ours is a bit bigger, I think. Great car except needing Premium gas. Very, very comfortable and quiet. I like it more than the Lexus LX and it's half the price.
As someone who has owned 3 BMW's, I would recommend you stick to your decision. Though it's entirely subjective of course, I feel my S4 blows away any of the BMW's I've previously owned. I'm not talking speed, but the whole package. Just a small list of things I prefer on my S4 vs my previous fully loaded Z4 and 3 series.
100% valid points, because 3 series. Even the M3/M4 has a "meh" interior. But, the 5's and 7's great and 95% of what the Audi is like inside, plus way better performance (except RS7, that car is a fucking monster and super badass).
Should definitely take a look at the Z then. I was the same; 6'2", don't care about heated seats/GPS/other creature comfort stuff. I've had it for about 3 1/2 months and I absolutely love it. Only thing I wish it had was lumbar support, but the keyless entry and ignition, and rev match are awesome. Handles like a beast and it's fast.
I was basically in the same boat on the increased size of the 3 series over the years. I have a 2003 3 series and hated the E90 models and was close to getting the M1 but no way I could get a good deal on one. I went with a 2013 335XI MSport w/ Sport Transmission, Dynamic handling (M Adaptive Suspension), Tech package, M Performance package. ~62k MSRP but its pretty easy to knock off 3k or so and pay ~500-1000 above invoice.
Thanks that is good news. I have never had a car with heated seats. I wish I had cooled seats in my truck at times tho but it's not a deal breaker at all. We have speed limits here which go from 70to75. But I commonly drive 80-85 and often get passed by law enforcement that waves. Of course that may change if I'm driving something like that lol. Going to check it out when I get back to town that has a decent sized dealership.Should definitely take a look at the Z then.

The last generation Corvette has been the most comfortable sports car I have been in yet, and I would imagine the current gen is good as well. I have been on 5, 12 hour road trips in it, and found it more tolerable than the other 4 vehicles I have made the trip in. I would say the drive was almost enjoyable, but driving from Dallas to Illinois is rather boring, no mater the vehicle. I have read many disparaging comments on the seats, but most of them are on the inadequacies of the seats when you are on the track. Which I agree that you slide around to much during aggressive driving. It also has more leg room than I estimated before getting in it. At 6'0, I can lock my knees if try. My dad is 6'4 and had no issue driving it.
Camion Dorval would indicate that it was in Montreal, so I assume thats where you got the guess of it having a Je me Souviens on the plate. but this is an old pic for camion Dorval doesnt exist anymore.
Yeah, 5 and 7 series have nicer interiors and also cost considerably more than the S4 he's comparing it to.
Of course they cost more, I realize that. My point was that you can't judge BMW interiors by the 3 series since they can't hold a candle to the other models offered. Audi, however, seems to have good interiors all around, regardless of the particular model.
