I see Audi often debuts their A4 sedan along with its avant and S4 variants, while RS4 follows right after.
Just want to note here that BMW's new S4 competitor is the M340i, and as in the past with the 335i, it will be launched at the very outset of the new model's release. That is actually more aggressive than the B9 release timing since the S4 actually came a few months after the A4. And as for the B9 RS4 (which will again be Avant only), well, it has yet to arrive.

The A5/S5, on the other hand, trailed the A4/S4 by over a year, just as the 4 Series does the 3 Series. And they have only recently launched the RS5. There is an RS5 Sportback coming too, but it won't arrive for a few more months (and won't be on the market for over a year).

So like I said, BMW's competitors do the same thing.
