Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat will feel a little more squished in the Audi S5 than in the BMW 430, due to the Audi S5's smaller rear head- and legroom. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Audi S5, drivers may find the BMW 430 a little roomier and somewhat more comfortable.

Convenience
The BMW 430 requires fewer visits to the gas station than the Audi S5, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Audi S5 is somewhat more expensive than the BMW 430.

Dimensions
The Audi S5 is about the same width as the BMW 430. When looking at overall length, the Audi S5 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the BMW 430.

Handling
The Audi S5 has a larger turning radius than the BMW 430, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Audi S5 has a much more powerful engine than the BMW 430. However, something you should consider is that higher horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Audi S5 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the BMW 430.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Audi S5 and the BMW 430.
