Nice looking car

Turbo dramas, boost solenoid and vac pipe dramas, injector drams, dpf dramas, leaking auto box's, I drive CCC units pooing them selves and general tight scummer owners who want to go fast but are too tight to pay for a proper engine.

In other words, 330i.

that lot will keep him busy ! he bought it, I would have gone for one of the A5's the dealer had IMO they are a far better car

How do you know that the A5 is a far better car if you don't know anything about the E92?

Like f*ck do they not!

I have had both cars for long times in new form, and the A5 is much better, the E92 is pig ugly with shite hammerite paint and crap handling compared to the Quattro, I can't vouch for second hand ?

if I had to own a new derv it would be the A5 hands down, Audi are way ahead of BMW that includes customer service and their technical department, newer BMW's are shi t hence why I drive old scrap

If i had an e9x car it would be manual and 330i or 325i petrol. You'd have to wait but the word on the street is they are the most reliable in older age. Last oldskool bm in the new suit. 6 pots, stick shift whats not to like?

A manual 330i touring will no doubt end up on my council driveway at some point

You've had a brand new E92 335d? I know you borrowed some Audi when you came down to Petes one Christmas.

The looks of any car E92 included are subjective, just because you think it's pig ugly some one else may think the opposite myself included.

Agreed the paint on newer BMW's is quite orange peely but that can be rectified, not that should have to on a new car granted.

And handling, sack off the run flats on 19's and they are transformed.

As for Audi dealers and their technical department, well dealers for all the premium manufactures can be hit and miss, plenty of good and bad after sales for both brands.

I won't bore you with all the technical issues the B8 A5 suffers from, a good mate of mine is an Audi diagnostic technician and we often chat about how crap modern turds are, Mercs even more so!
Got a few close mates who work for the local Merc dealer and one of them is telling her husband to buy a BMW!

I had that A5 3.0 s line brand new on loan for 9 weeks I also had a 335d for 2 months

the Audi wins

Audis are VWs with a thin veneer of soft touch bits and chrome shite , the VAG Lexus without the in depth quality or the customer service. Nasty

it's all relevant Pete, Both are are ticking turds with a definite ticket to expensive bills..a club I'm not into... my money is in bricks and morter/scrap cars and a 200k transit

I would sooner trot up the motorway in a 518i E28 than a newer derv
