Except that an S5 (354ps, 500NM) with a decent (but not full) configuration was another 10% € on top of a fully (!) loaded 440i XDrive M-Performance GC (360PS, 500NM) in my country, which according to all reviews and comparisons I found online is outperforming the S5 in almost every way (except for assistive technologies).
Love Audi, but that's the reality when it comes to this class.

The Runflats are easy to get rid of (although I haven't felt the need to do so yet).

RS5 vs M4 - probably a very different story.
