Default I'd skip the 328...

...and either do the A4 (with an ECU reflash, of course), or hold off and do the 335i (if you don't want AWD). The 335i will probably be a blast to drive and will be a major step up from the 328.

No. The 328i spec says 0-60 in 6.2 seconds

Default Are these cars (328/335i) even out?

I think a better comparison would be 328xi and A4. At least then you'll have AWDvs.AWD instead of AWDvs.RWD Oh, Audi interior wins hands down.

The interior of the 3-Series is a crime against humanity

Default Well the BMW has better weight distribution

Unlike the Audi where it's 60/40 and the engine in front of the front axle.

Default no, not in acceleration and not in handling hence I have no idea why people are so keen on

recommending A4 over 328 (guess asking Audi forum has something to do with it ). If you look at 3.2 A4 then acceleration will be similar but handling will probably still go to BMW. I'm a huge Audi fan but unless you love and need AWD, A4 is really not better than 328 imho. If AWD is not important, it comes down to your taste and wallet.

Default Plus the other question

How often are you going to <u>really</u> use that handling and performance? Every day driving? Probably not.

I didn't get the A4 for handling/performance. I wanted that I'd get a BMW but A4 styling &gt; BMW styling which is more important to me, plus the AWD is nice to have and fun in the winter time
