First off, I'm sorry for not using the search function more, but I'm just looking for a few quick answers...

I'm looking for a used A4 preferrably B7 for a friend of mine. I grew up a VW/Audi guy but have since moved to BMWs, so I'm a little behind on the newer Audi models. She's looking to spend less than 30k, but wants something aggressive and sleek. We decided to look in depth at an A4 because the BMWs were just too sexy...I kid, but I just have a few questions.

Any specific model years to avoid? No just watch for high miles.
Any available trims aside from S4 and RS4 that don't have such obvious wheel/fender gap? Im pretty sure there all the same.
How quick is the turbo 4cyl? Which powertrain is preferred? the B7 stock is 200hp but a chip will put it at abot 240hp/around 280-300tq get quattro.
Are there 6sp gear boxes available on the non S/RS? yes all B7's have them.
What is the first thing that most people change aside from wheels and tires? Chip

Any other advice is greatly appreciated, thanks. Give the BMW to the girl because thats what it is a girls car and get a Audi.

Thanks for the info Ocadam. If I can talk her into an S4 I will, otherwise it's a drop and some wheels to match.

CStarky, we're looking for a sedan but thanks for the offer.


P.S. Ocadam, don't be jealous.
