330xi vs. A4/Old S4....

one of my old friends' sisters is looking at a 330 but she wants the awd version (330xi or whatever)

. I am arguing that she should get an audi because audi specialize in awd. You guys know more than me, help me out here....

i'd take the S4 over the 330xi but the 330xi over the a4, just my opinion though, i havent really heard good things about audis reliability.

yeah. i'm not sure. the new a4's look quite nice. if it was a 330ci i'd take it.

if its for your sister just get the 1.8t b6 audi. no need for an s4. she probably doesnt even need the 330xi. the 325xi should suffice.

bmw has made AWD since 1985 there setup is one of the most bmw bullit proof out of any system i have seen and it is the same setup you see in subaru so when it comes down to which I would say has more history bmw takes the cake audi also makes great cars but I have owned a 325ix and it was one of the greatest cars ive ever owned and i auto X and raced the car and never had a problem

yeah, she really doesnt need an S4, but a APR stg1 8E A4 1.8TQMS wouldnt be anything to frown about.

not my sister. and his family is mad rich

oh, then theres no competition...definately the S4 and heard that Milltek exhaust produces very good gains, especially considering it's N/A

Um, Audi made AWD before BMW. Plus Quattro is a lot better than BMW's sytem.

w3rd, and isn't BMW's AWD gearbox kinda bad or something? (just what i heard, don't flame)

i was saying that bmw specialize in sporty rwd cars and audi specialize in awd cars. so you would be better getting an audi, they are used to making awd cars.
