l am trying to decide on my next car,
l am looking at manual shift, RWD drive versions of the cars,
l have never owned an Audi before, only BMW is and would love the input

Personally l would stick with your BMW's. Very well built, last for as long as you treat them good and great horse power and good gas mileage. Try going to a dealership though and test drive a audi to see how you like it though. My vote though, BMW all the way, l have owned three BMW's, two 7 is and a 3 series and loved them all!

audi you should try test driving a 08' a4 and an 08' 3 series

l have owned both cars and actually like the Audi better. The Audi is a little better to drive and the interior is a lot nicer than the BMW. The Audi also had no warranty issues where the BMW had several small electrical issues (new radio).

l drove multiple Audis & BMWs & l prefer the 2004 Audi A4.. The performance is enough to get the adrenaline going & they r cheaper initially & come with way more features.. l had an Audi a6 4.2 (300 HP) & love the car expect the mileage timeless exterior & interior look... The only other problem l had was bad sound system & it was bose which made it worse.. l traded in for a 2006 BMW 325i & its way better than the 2004 BMW 325i... But, l only got it because the dealer gve me a great deal & interest rate that Audi could not compete with.. But, when l graduate from college l will go back to Audi.. But, back to the opinion based on what I've driven the BMW is more fun to drive.. The Audi feels like u have ultimate control especially with that allwheel drive, the bose system is way better than my old A6 & better than the 2004 BMW system.. The interior of the Audi is more noticable of higher quality during that year.(2006 3series got better looking)..But, in my opinion Audis r fun also. but cheaper used than the Beemer. The BMW is more for status l think.. Which l dont know why ppl place a car on their character.. but, l would go back to Audi.. I';ve just had a 2008 BMW 528xi retailed at 51k a loaner... & my old Audi A6 2001 interior was way better & cost the same.. u get more with ur money with Audi. my 2006 325i been in the shop about 8 times since march.. my audi probably 3 times over two years
