Our S4 has the sport differential. It does make a difference in the feel of the car, particularly in that it gives more of a rear bias to the AWD as well as a selection for a more aggressive throttle and gear change (for the automatics). It changes other drivetrain variables as well.

It really isn't a fair comparison to a BMW 550i, as that car was way more expensive when new. When we were comparing cars, even the 535i was a good $10K more than the S4. An apples to apples comparison would be to the 335i in terms of price and performance.
