The black wheels on the "night rider" edition 22'' viper wheels in black was nice....like a black chrome-ish on the SRT10 Ram Truck.....

Aye, really though...my "issue" is with all *well like 90%* of aftermarket rims/wheels - they are made to indeed look good on their own on the website and storeroom floor- but rarely do they follow the design language or complement the flow of the car. Sometimes they do, and its great! but there is a reason someone in some office somewhere at Nissan, Ford, whatever is paid very well to design stock wheels all day long. That's why I really did like the "stock" or factory option rims that are black or gunmetal etc- they have the cool factor of the black and still have a complimenting look to the rest of the car.

With a good warranty; yes. Without one; no. Compared to Audi's rivals, their cars weight more, have less power, and are generally slower, but look better in and out. Depending on climate, AWD could be important.

Then get an xi. Oh sorry, get one with X Drive Technology.
Personally I like the looks of the S5, but when I decided on my 335xi, the S5 was a couple inches longer and wider, and I have a fairly tight parking stall. Although in hindsight the S5 would fit fine. It was also at least 5-8k more expensive than the BMW.

I have an S5, and don't regret the choice, (also Canadian) do look into the 335xi as well though as Eomer mentions, as it was a contender for me as well. It came down to aesthetics, awd, V8 and the interior, something about the BMW didn't sit well for me. That said if used you will certainly want a vendor warranty, like audi certified pre owned etc. I've had mine for 3 years now and it's spent a total of 6 days in the shop, not spectacular but not bad for how much I beat the piss out of it.
Gents, thank you for the wicked feedback. I'll research the X drive technology from BMW, test drive both the S5 and the 335xi and then see which I like best.
Edit: was told to check out the A5 S-Line, worth it?

If yer considering the A5, test drive it first before an S5.
I doubt you'll continue to consider the A.

Put me down for an RS6 Avant the moment they hit US shores (which, sadly will never happen, so I cry myself to sleep each night...)
Well, if yall are so keen on these Audi cars that Audi will not send over, look into importing them yourself. I cant imagine the emissions would be that hard to correct on a modern car. Who would have thought the US has tougher emissions than the EU. It may cost 10,000 extra, but you wont have to cry yourself to sleep any longer, and you will, more than likely, have the only one in your state/providence.
Maybe you could get a group buy discount from an importer while you're at it. Canada may be easier to import to, and Eomer wants a Euro car as well. Take a trip across Canada with them and claim them as a used car purchase when you bring them home, or some such.
Here is a little write up on importing.http://www.carsdirect.com/car-buying...ar-from-europe

Test drove this one yesterday. Salesman told me to punch it on the straightaways and some S curves. Do want.

Seems like a lot of work! I'm going to hold tight for another year or two and hope/pray that BMW brings over the 550d Touring, or really any sport wagon that comes with a decent engine. If not, then I guess I'll have to figure something else out.
