Wow. Makes all the new 3 series coupes out their look about as sexy as a 90's 2 door Ford Escort.

If I HAD to trade in my S4 Avant today I'd probably get one of those.

Default Actually, that is my biggest negative too, sucks not to be able to open it

Didn't like that about my TT either, no sunroof at all. I think that was more a limitation due to the curved shape of the roof.

My Corrados had sliding/tilting sunroofs with enough headroom in the rear for an adult, don't see why the bigger A5/S5 can't too.

Another reason to love my current S4 Avant.

Hey man, I used to have a 90's 2 Door Ford Escort (GT). It was pimp. BMW has got nothing on it.

Yes they look amazing. I was very close to buying one, but my trade in was too low

Default 3rd. While it probably shouldn't be, a huge deal for me. Love driving with the SR open and windows

down in the summer. Oh, and the gas mileage on the S5s suck, as you already know.

They DO look good . . . except when viewed from a couple angles they look kinda awkward.
