Default On what level. IMO i would take almost any Audi over a BMW anyday. Had bad exp with BMW and.....

personally i love quattro (not too familiar with the BMW awd). I think our B5 interiors are just as nice if not nicer than the new 3 series. That means its taken bmw 7 years to catch up to audi interior build quality. Read any car mag and almost all agree they have best interior in the biz. I respect BMW's for what they are, and the 335 is def a nice car, but personally i would take an new A4 2.0 with a turbo kit over the 335xi. The money you would save buying the Audi would easily pay for the turbo kit and some mods. You will easily spend another 10k on the BMW than you would on a similarly optioned A4 2.0.

Default I like Audi too but 300hp and 300tq stock did take 7yrs to catch up but 6cy twin turbo

none the less. I do like Audi interior better.
$53k for a new 335ix in Portland (OUCH). But the tuning possibilities on the 335??? I don't care for the body style of the new BMW's though.
