2005 S4 vs. 2005 330i ZHP

I am about to buy either a 2005 S4 or a 2005 330i ZHP. Any advice on which one to get? I love the 330i's handling and interior, but the low end and top end power doesn't match the S4. The S4 is an auto vs. 6 spd on 330i. The S4 is 21,900..certified and 1 year left on original warranty...BMW no warranty. I am leaning towards the S4, but would love to hear any unbiased thoughts. Thanks

BMW's are my first love, but comparing those two, id jump on the S4 in a heartbeat. It helps that the Audi has some sort of warranty on it, better than nothin ya know? The miles are pretty good for the year, and u cant beat the Quattro system- even up there in Ohio. If ur okay with the gas-guzzling v8, then you should have no problems. Oh, and I think the s4 interior is sexy! I did say I was a BMW fan right? lol
Hope that helps a lil...

S4!!! I had a 330Ci with a lot of mods. You cannot beat the sound of the V8. Just be prepared for ~10mpg from the S4

I test drove both cars and ended up buying the S4. Love the car....can't beat the V-8...just keeps pulling. The car definitely feels heavier than the zhp, but handles extremely well.
