Looks like they moved the steering wheel to the other side. That's a big difference.

This thread will go nowhere. Not when one party thinks one way and the other thinks another way. Kinda like in separate party based governments.

Audi: there's the bad and good
BMW: there's the bad and good
Mercedes: there's the bad and good
Porsche: there's the bad and good

Then there are the fanboys who see no evil in their God.

It's not Audi seperating the forums into B6/7/8 but the enthusiasts that run the forums. Fact remains the B6/7 are on one platform in much the same way as BMW do, the only difference that BMW don't give them a different model number to confuse the less well informed among us.

Don't get me wrong, the car is very nice and the interior is killer! But its apples and oranges from the 335.
Also, pray that they change the tire from the Pirelli P6. This tire is crap for that suspension set up and can cause vibration at higher speeds.
If you don't mind me asking how much was the trade in value? I'm really contemplating trading in my 2010 A5 2.0T (3.5k miles) for the 335i. Beautiful, beautiful car inside and out. But i'm more of an enthusiast and i got an itch for performance. That doesn't go to say the A5 can't handle its own..Also i am willing to do direct trades if a good offer comes by.

Figuring the the value of the 335i that I bought according to KBB and Edmunds, the dealer gave me around 39K for my A5 with 6K miles, and I paid 43.5k for it.

To me Audi just provides a better value for the money. BMW seems to charge for nearly every amenity that can be found in the standard A4 package. homelink? only with the autodimming mirror which leads to premium package - $2000. leather seating? standard on A4, an extra 1.5k on the BMW. pricewise a comparably equipped 328i vs A4, I would take the A4, possibly 3-5k below the price of the BMW.

I will give the 335i a huge advantage because Audi doesn't really have anything to compete except the S4, which is geared towards M3 drivers.
