Default Need Your Opinion - Car Selection


Alright, I'm in a bit of a problem because I need to chose from 5 cars that price are all around the same and not really an issue. I am looking for a bigger, faster, luxurious, nicely looking car. Which I have found to be out of these, so please vote for it. Thanks
[ul][*] 2002 Audi S4[*] 2002 Audi A6 4.2L V8[*] 2003 BMW 530i Sport[*] 2003 BMW 330i Sport[*] 2001 BMW 740i Sport[/ul]
I am really choosing between the BMW 530i, Audi S4, and A6 4.2L V8. I know what they are and owned both Audi and BMW before, I'm
just having a really having a hard time to choose from these. I like the S4 cause its really nible, fast, desinged great and just a drivers car from owning an 01 A4 and I really liked it. Than I had a 2002 BMW 330i that was crashed, but it worked enough for me to test drive it a few times and than selling it cause the frame was like a cumpled paper... which made the car pull HEAVY to the left and the body didn't sit equal on each side, left wheel was 3" from the fender and other side was like 2" from the fender, basically it was reaaaly messed up. But it was FAST & HANDLED amazing! BMW's 3.0 Inline 6 was really a masterpeice.

Now, I've really liked the Audi A6 but I wouldn't buy anything less than the 4.2 V8 because the other 2.7t and such are too weak. Its big enough but than its not really what I'm looking for. Either way, I would take it if it was better than at least 2 of these cars. Now, what I really like is the BMW 530i, which has that great 3.0 Inline-6 and its bigger, luxurious, and clean design that can be modified to look like the older M5. So, as for the biggest car the 740i Sport is really nice that has a 4L V8 thats 16MPG City/19-20HWY which is really good for a V8, and its really really big and luxurious. But, its definately not going to be that 740i unless I found a great deal.

So, here are a few pictures of the cars and comparing them to give youa better idea what your comparing to. Thanks for the votes.

2002 Audi A6 4.2L Exterior and Interior




Here is the 2003 BMW 530i




Here is the 2003 BMW 330i



Here is the 2001 BMW 740iL Sport




So what do you think about the cars? Most 99% of you should know what a Audi S4 is and so the 740i is there, it looks like a old Cadillac but its far from it, its really sporty and luxurious. That motor is used in so many cars, such as LandRover that was when BMW owned them, but it was a really great motor. This is a picture of a 2001 BMW 740iL, without the Sport Package equipped without the Sport Wheels. But, its really nice looking when you see it. So, what do you think about the cars, which one is it?

terrible thing to say on an Audi board, but I suggest the 530i.

With regard to the 2.7t, I agree it's smaller (better gas mileage) with lower output stock, but it's easily and inexpensively modified to outperform the 4.2 in the newer A6/S4

Have you considered a 2003 RS6?

You can find them for $30-$40k and IMO, are fantastic cars. LOTS of power (450hp) and plenty of leg room inside for a comfortable ride.

I used to have an 01 740iL. With the 4.4 V8 coupled with the price of gas these days, I don't recommend it. I'd suggest the E46 330i. I've also owned a 2000 328i. The 330i has decent power and if you get the sport package, it will be fun to drive.

330i. Decent reliability, and the best gas mileage of the bunch.
