Are you in Canada or the US? I have an 2009 2.0T s-line. I'm in the US.

Don't forget... Canuckians pay Canuckian prices.

to go from my Premium Plus to the Prestige line.

And your out the doors price would still have been less than our Northern friends.

That might be helping to equalize the price. Auto transmission on a 335xi sedan is no extra cost compared to the manual. On the 335xi coupe it's still $1600 extra. Whatever. For me it came down to:
- There's already a new bimmer in the parkade at work (a 335xi coupe nonetheless)
- I wanted a wagon and I have never even seen one to test drive at the local BMW dealership. They're too busy selling X3s and X5s.
- Saw a new A4 Avant at the Audi dealership, test drove it soon thereafter and ooooh yeah the rest was history.

But the US gets S-Line as an option on the 2.0T, we Canadians don't. =(

BMW is faster and handles better no doubt but the A4 is no slouch either. Also easier/cheaper to mod the 2.0T.

Audi interior is nicer though IMO and if you drive a lot and are unable to take advantage of a faster, better handling car due to local law enforcement I think staring at the inside of an Audi all day is easier than a BMW's.

You can't go wrong with either. Just pick which one you like more and go for it.

Our lease is up on a 2006 A6 3.2 S-Line loaded. We cannot get an A4 Avant P+ for within a $75/month of it. Priced out a 335Xi that was comparably equiped and the lease is the same as our A6! The 328xi wagon which is a closer comparison to an A4 Avant is a solid $100 less per month on a 36 month 12K lease! We want a A4 but not with the current lease rates, residuals etc.
