My Ride: 2005 545i, Jet Black, Auburn leather, Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, Prem Sound, Steptronic, PDC, Comfort Seats, NAV, Shades, SAT
2006 325i Cabrio, Electric Red, Beige leather, Sport, Premium, Prem Sound, Steptronic, Heated seats
Previous Bimmers:
2004 330i ZHP, Imola Red, Black leather, Premium, Steptronic, Heated seats

Just passed 1200 miles on the odometer on my 545i. At a stop light, an S4 Cabriolet pulled up next to me...could not see what year...the tell-tale ugly front end. Light turned green...the S4 hits the gas...I responded and let loose with the melodious V8...meeeeeow! Pulled passed (1/4 car length covering ~250 yds) the S4 before lanes merged. Would I have pulled away more had I been able to respond quicker to the impromptu street drag?

think you'd be ok vs cab it's a bit heavier/slower. s4 would be a close match not sure who'd win that one. prob s4 w/manual if driver knew what he/she was doing.
s4 cab
4090lbs
hp 340
0-60 5.8ish
550
3800lbs
360 hp
0-60 5.4ish

The data below are somewhat inconsistent. Regardless, I think you would keep pulling away--especially from a convertible.
Audi S4 RT 11/04 5.5 13.9 100.5
Audi S4 MT 8/03 5.0 13.4 105.1
Audi S4 RT 8/05 5.3 13.8 101.7
Audi S4 RT 11/04 5.5 13.9 100.5
Audi S4 MT 8/03 5.0 13.4 105.1
Audi S4 RT 8/05 5.3 13.8 101.7

My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
I love these threads.
On paper, the E60 should win by a small margin, but remember in the real world, other factors play a big part. The S4 Cab is Quattro, so a big traction advantage in less than perfect road conditions. The relevant sprint times are very similar but give the E60 the edge.
Also bear in mind reaction times, with 0-60 so close, if the S4 car got any kind of a lead off the line, the E60 would struggle to pull it back & of course vice versa.
