Thinking the RS 5 looks pretty sweet

Ok, I drove it - from a performance standpoint, I was impressed.

But a few of other things were a bit of a turn off - mostly the interior. The lack of leather dash, the alcantera on the shifter, and the shotcut memory buttons - all made the car feel "cheap" compared to to my M3 with full leather.

There is a car locally with most of the options I have want, but they are barely discounting it - and it is a 2019 (no 2020 made)

Pros
AWD (I live in Chicago)
Sunroof (yea I miss that)
Color (Blue, I wish I had ordered a tanzanite)
Has a spare


Cons
Interior
Auto
Cost (no free maint), worse depreciation

I'm torn. Am I just having an itch? Or is this a better car for Chicago ?
