Stop.
BMW handling is equal to Audi handling, and in some situations - offers better feedback to the driver than the Audi does.
Having said that, Quattro is an amazing addition to a car.
Even though it occasionally does not FEEL as solid as it felt in my BMW, I can tell you that I have to work MUCH harder to get the Audi to even come close to breaking loose.
As for driving in the rain, there is absolutely no comparison and nothing here to discuss.
Rain Driving:
Audi = A+
BMW = C

I drove my friend's 328 and my firend's M3. The M3 is obviously the handling winner compared to my car, the 328 was about equal. Quattro is really nice for low traction situations, but RWD handling IS better than quattro in some situations. RWD also down't lose as much power via the drivetrain.

2001 325i vs. 2001 A4 2.8L..
the audi has it in handling, hands down. The audi is a bit quicker, but nothing drastic. interior is very very nice in both cars, but i would prefer a BMW's interior.
if you ask me, theyre both amazing cars, they just do different things.
