My advice, though, is to keep your E90 until the F30 comes out, and then if you don't like it, you can always get a great deal on an E92 335is, as it will be the outgoing model. I don't know why you want an Audi so badly. I've had my share, and they're very, very, very nice, but they don't drive like BMW's. But if you must: S5 or get yourself on the waiting list for an RS5. I'm probably missing some information in this whole equation of you needing/wanting a new car, but I just thought I'd offer that up. |

I don't "have" to get rid of the 3. I just have concerns about owning the n54 engine outside of warranty. Yes, it is cpo'd but that is limited. Wrongly, my opinion coming into this was that BMW's were reliable and that I could own this car long enough to give to my currently 10 y/o girls. I was a bit ignorant, however, keep in mind that I am pretty much a JDM guy most of my life and am used to not having ANY reliability issues (no toyotas in this dojo). So I am doing some serious due diligence prior to exceeding warrany and losing $2k in value with one tick of the odometer.
As far as the audi goes...originally it is what seth said/small/fast/light/easily tunable. I have said the close as you can get to a porsche thing too. Mostly to piss bmw fanboys off who say why would you want a porsche, its just a glorified audi? Well, that works both ways, wingnut (not you Judd - the stereotype). Unlike a porsche, it actually has a backseat, such that it is. I'm going through all this and I will likely keep my car anyway, which is the funny part. I was walking back up the driveway last night after taking the garbage out and I see her in the garage light, still clean from the show and think to myself, god she looks so good.... But honestly, I don't think I'm ever buying another bmw unless its an M.

Thats just a gay ass statement made by someone ignorant enough to think anything thats not a BMW is an Audi.
Porsche has been around since the 1930s and wasn't until like 08 or 09 that VW owed a MINORITY share in the company. Hell if I remember correctly Porsche actually owned a good portion of VW for a few years before it switched to the other way around. VW has had no influence in what Porsche is, if anything I would say its the other way around and the new VW's might be more Porsche like. Audi has always borrowed its technology from Porsche (probably purchased but you get the idea) so again, who made who? Plus on top of that, Audi's are damn nice cars now too. Hate their marketing but a few of their cars are worthy competitors and the TT-S is definitely one of them so Al has my blessing. 29xx curb weight and a very tuneable 2.0T motor with AWD makes for a fun ride on the streets OR on the track. |
