But there's something about that alcantara, those recaros, that B&O sound system, and the sound of that motor, the way it's just so planted at higher speeds, the way it feels like a more substantial car... that just makes you feel like you're in something a lot more special than the 335.

If I had to choose one, i'd pick my 335 without question. I wouldn't in stock form, and I wouldn't if I were older (I'm thinking 35 will be my mod-obsession cutoff point). But whether or not i'm a huge fan of the 335 (I am! my e90post join date and mod list speak to that. I'm never selling my 335.), I can't say that the S5 isn't the nicer car.
I'm not sure if it's more special - to each his own. I'm on my second 335 and as you can tell (my join date) that I'm a little sensitive to comparisons to Audi. I agree that the 335 in stock form is not as much fun as a modded one. Pick a tun JB, Vish, Cobb, whatever...the car comes alive. I've never driven a modded Audi but I hear they are beasts. Especially ABT tuned. 503 and 457 Not too shabby.
