wahhhhhhhhh im kicking myself because I passed up the same car with 49,000 miles for 19,000 and am pissed beyond belief .... goddamn it

also u want us to compare the 330i or the 330xi?

they're 2 very diff cars IMHO

the 330xi is more sluggish w/ regards to response

330xi vs B6 Quattro - go B6 Quattro
330i vs B6 Quattro - go 330i

 

and also if its a 3.0 ur comparing go with the 330 - more of a performance car but if its a 1.8 or 2.0t b7 ... then i'd go with eh audi

So in closing

330i zhp
A4 1.8t quattro
330i
A4 2.0t Quattro
A4 3.0 Quattro

the MB's are pricey as noted plus they're luxury cars - they're not built for uber uber performance .... they're supposed to give u a nice balance of power + luxury (favoring luxury side)

 

I have been in many cars and driven a bunch of MERCEDES I drove a C230, C320, E320, sl500

this sl500 was the only one I liked, it was my uncles everything about the car was perfect.. as for the others I dont know why but i couldnt stand the seats, my grandfathers e320 2004 is the most uncomfortable car i have enver driven, the driver seat is so hard i cant drive the thing for more then 30 minutes without wanted to get out of the car and walk around.. the c230 and the c320 where both really nice cars, nice power and I really like the interiors

 

I am talking about 330i, i don't xi.
the reason I want a quattro is because I don't want front wheel drive.
and audi doesn't have rear wheel drive, so might as well go with all-wheel drive

 

Right. This is the exact same logic I used.

I loved the RWD in the BMW, but the payment wasn't going to work for me if I went and got a new one.
So I looked at Audi, but didn't want FWD so I got the Quattro. Similarly equipped as the BMW, for about $9k less.
Not to mention even though it's 200hp compared to the 225hp of my 03' BMW and 255hp of the 06' BMW, it's a TURBO and I can throw a chip in it for $600 and get the same numbers.

For the money, the Audi + chip is a better deal. There's no argument here, it just facts.
I am a BMW guy through-and-through, but what the Audi has to offer for the pricepoint, there's just no way I could pony up the cash for another 330i.
The A4 is a great car that rivals the 3 series in many ways.
The Stock A4 equals or beats the 325 in my opinion.
The Stock A4 + chip equals or beats the 330 in my opinion.
Factor in the sticker price and you're driving an Audi.

yah, we had the similar idea.

I choose audi mainly because of the price.
You can get pretty mcuh even car paying much less, so why not go for it.
