Somehow missed this thread previously. Congrats! The 540 is on my list for our next car as is the S4/5 you mentioned back in August. Similar to your original post, I was also impressed by the throttle response in the a4. Am assuming the DCT might play a part in that which the S4/5 no longer has (they went back to tradtional ZF 8 speed).

Hard to beat those BMW multicontour seats (with Nappa leather) that are only available in the 5/x5 and up. Surprised the leases are so bad on 540s- with the market being so SUV focused I assumed that good deals can be had on sedans. Speaking of which, i'm also intrigued by the x3 40i. Seems to offer nearly the same performance as an S4 while being an SUV. Also addresses most of the issues that the previous gen had.
