I'd take the bmw over the S4.

Although if you were going to go up a gear to the S5 or even A5 3L S-Line that would be my pick of the litter

BMW.

Anyone who chooses an Audi over a Beemer I would guess has never owned a BMW.

Audi here to, only ever driven diesel bmws never anything big powered petrol and I just don't understand the hype over bmw? You could literally stick a ford badge on and the bimmer tossers wouldn't buy it. I think when people drive these cars they look down at the wheel and see that little bmw badge in the steering wheel and it just deludes them that they are driving something of quality  :laugh: . Not saying audi are the best but I just find bmw waaaay overrated

I chose an Audi as I wanted to keep my VCDS cable

While I prefer RWD to 4WD, I'd still have the Audi.  BMW's irritating auto gearstick gets on my nerves, especially on three-point turns.

Get the S4 Danny, you've done the BMW thing. EPIC CAR with a basic map. :wink:

Depends what sort of driver u are,

Point to point the S4 will be much quicker and in all weather conds due to Quattro!

Also prefer the look of the S4, white or Blck would be ideal imo.

Only so much power u can use with limited amount of traction. Unless ur tiff needell....

BMW for me and I'd say the BM was probably quicker

I'd have the S4 personally. Yeah having a RWD car is fun but realistically getting the back end out on public roads will eventually land you in trouble. The AWD ability of the Audi will put the power down nicely which will be even more effective if you choose to go to stage 1 etc... Wouldn't buy one in silver though, something more exclusive to make it stand out a bit from a regular A4.

Beemer.  Those Audis are a bit dull to drive and its spec is a bit naff.  No Xenons is an immediate no for me.  The beemer is nicely spec'd.

Also the Audi is end of life and the 3er is still only halfway through its life.

(but then I'm biased as I have a fully loaded F31 330d xDrive PPK  :innocent:)

Oh and edit - the adaptive headlights are utterly brilliant, we call them Dancing Lights on the bm forum (these are led but xenon work the same):
