I went from a DD 15 challenger SRT to a 00 C5. I daily drive the C5 and its not bad but as Chassed said but its NOT a new car or even a fair comparison.
I love driving the C5 and its a rattle box as he put it. But the creature comforts are not my thing. If it has heat and the windows work I'm good lol. Just be honest and what your expectations are. A C5 is NOT even close to a 14 S4.

I daily drove 3 series BMW's for the 17 years preceding my DD 04Z. No complaints about going the opposite way that you did, every day spring, summer and fall puts a smile on my face.
And my car has no rattles, etc. Not flaming you, just offering another view. I get your side, I was there. I'll tell you that for me it got boring. My Z never bores me.
Comfort and practicality out the window.

Not saying my Z06 is a rattle box, I say that in terms of quality compared to other car makers, but IMHO its still a GM...and well lets be honest..they aren't exactly built for quality

Gotcha, and agreed on fit'n'finish; my 03 BMW was definitely better appointed inside (seats, all windows were auto up/down, all covers were press and slow release, etc...).
