Having previously owned a 2002 BMW M3 and 1999 BMW M Coupe, I'm hesitant to go away from BMW. I am currently driving a Mazda wagon as a commuter car, but now I'm in a better position to get a nicer vehicle.

I have been looking at a 2010-2011 BMW 335i xDrive sedan, but the B8 S4 recently popped up on my radar and I'm really liking what I'm seeing in terms of options and performance.

I hope to get some good insight here on which way I want to go, but the S4 is certainly looking like the front runner at this point.
