Many thanks - very illuminating.
As I suggested on your Audi thread, road testers to a man (and it IS nearly always a man) prefer BMWs to Audis, usually on handling and steering response. So people should do as you have done and decide which suits their own preferences better.
Audi finally have BMW on the run with their current range. I always chuckle when road testers 'to a man' always bang on about the RWD handling of BMWs as though it is pasted into their brains but how often in real world driving does this emerge as a major plus .05% of the time ?? Its as though they are taking a pipe and slippers view of how things will always be !
Most larger new Audis have servotronic steering which is superb, light below 40 and weighting up after that, I love it on my car.
I have always liked the 5 series BMW and have owned every shape of 3 series from the mid 90's up to the E90, but I think that in general terms Audis are now a much nicer car without the gloomy interior that BMWs tend to now have. It is only a shame that the tester expected to dislike most aspects of the Audi rather like expecting to catch a cold in winter time !
