Bought an A4 B8 2.0 last weekend. Had recently test driven the BMW 328ix and seriously considered it first.

Reasons for going with the A4:

- A4 2.0 performed much better. The xDrive (I'm assuming) really hurt the 328's performance. Compared to the A4, performance wasn't impressive. 335ix would be a better options but $6k more.

- I ordered mine with ADS and, with that set properly, I find handling is at least as good as the 328ix - it was difficult to tell the difference. Both had good all wheel drive characteristics as well - lots of snow and ice during the test drives and both handled very well.

- A4 interior is superb. BMW interior is average, almost boring, maybe even a bit cheap. I did like the new iDrive system a bit better (larger screen with split menus) than Audi's MMI - but didn't have a chance to use the Navi on the BMW - Navi on my A4 works great.

- more back seat room in the A4. I've had my 3 kids in the back seat on a couple trips and no complaints.

Hope that helps.
