Hi, First post so, hello all.
Im in the process of ordering my A4. Here in the UK we have a range of diesel and petrol models available of the 2008 A4. Im going for the S Line model as this comes with LED Xenons, 18 inch, Half Leather, body styling etc instead of specing out a SE model. Its a company car, so I have to pay tax on the emissions so the smaller they are, the less tax I pay each month.
Im coming from a 1.8 Petrol BMW 1 Series and the Mrs also has a 2005 3 Door 1.9 TDI A3.
For tax reasons I need to choose the 1.8T Petrol, this comes in a 120Bhp and 160 Bhp. There is over £1K price difference. Do you think the 120bhp will be seriously under powered? I drive in town mainly, country roads and sit in traffic trying to get to work. I know its a silly question, but do you thnk I should pay the extra for the 160bhp version. I have around £25K to spend so that will get me the S Line 120 Bhp version, otherwise should I get a SE and bigger engines?
Also, which colour to go with those LED Lights (assuming I get a S Line) The Xenon+ pack is £775 on its own otherwise! I need a metallic!!
Thanks
