Default '07 Allroad or BMW 530xi

Gotta return my '02 allroad and kinda like the new BMW. With a six speed it is very tempting. Any thoughts?

Default I liked the new 530....wasn't bad....

+ you get maint. included.

I don't think the fishmouth is wearing well. I hate to say it, but the bangle looks a bit better.

Considering Audi is axeing the Audi Advantage in '07, and no manual tranny, I'd say BMW.

Default 3rd, no Audi Advantage, many other better choices. I have already voted with my feet.

Hello 750Li, no thanks A8.

Default The allroad does things that nothing else does....

That was the compelling reason to keep it. But now there are options. If you can live without the air suspension, the Bimmer is a GREAT choice and out of the box will outhandle the AR in virtually every catagory. Also, you won't be able to get a manual trans in an Audi in the future. The Touring covers up the Bangle butt, and the 3.0 I-6 is many times smooooooother than the excellent V6 in the allroad. Money no object, the Bimmer wins. Go drive one.

The 530xiT doesn't have a Bangle butt and more room than the AR.....
