The biggest difference I've felt comparing a similarly modified S4 like yours to the M5 is the powerband - and how much grunt the M5 had at pretty much any RPM.
The resale value of the E30 M3 is debatable - especially since the original motor has been swapped out. A well maintained M5 holds its value pretty well - especially if you're buying it for a great price.
My vote goes for the M5  |
what im trying to do with replacing my s4 is go a little less towards luxury and more towards a stiff harsh ride. im more concerned with all around performance than luxory. i was disapointed with the s4's handling, and now id rather sacrafice speed for handling rather than the other way around.
