What do you think? S4 with the tiptronic or 330Ci with SMG?

Once again, if it's the bi-turbo V6 S4, I'd get the 330. If the S4 isn't under warranty anymore you'll be in trouble. Cracked a syncro and did some other damage in the trans of my S4, lucky for the warranty, the bill was a little over 7k for everything.

I still love the look of the BMW better.

If your considering an old s4 I would still get that over a new 330ci.
But thats because you could get one for around 28k and modding it is so easy. Just with a chip youll be making over 300hp. If your not really into modding then get the 330ci. And with an old s4 youll probably run into reliability issues.

If its 330ci vs. new S4. Like I said above the S4 is a beast.
Youll never get similiar power out of 330ci, save a supercharged one.
But if youve got about 5-10 grand more to spend
then your in M3 territory and have a real tough decision.
