I've owned two Audi "4" series.
A 1997 Audi A4 Quattro - LOVED IT.
A 2000 Audi S4 Quattro - LOVED IT x10

I think pound for pound, dollar for dollar, the Audi product is much better than it's BMW 3 series equivalent. You get more car for less dollar and the "4" series is a ton of fun to drive, comfortable and very smartly appointed.

The BMW 3 series, like BO, has always left me cold. I've said this before and I'll say it again, my wife is driving a 1993 Lexus SC400. It's a 15 year old car. I drove it back to back with a new 3 series and I much preferred the Lexus in terms of trim, comfort.

But BO, if you think any garage that has BMW 3 series in it is going to have fewer Audi A4's,, that's just crazy. They are both a dime a dozen. But having said that, we live in SOCAL, where EVERY car is a dime a dozen regardless of make and or model.

btw, have you checked out the Lexus IS 250/350 ??
