Buzz Billsberry Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 The 320d Bm is a far better car and engine. The A4 engine is the VAV PD design, meaning that each cylinder has its own pump, unlike the common rail design. BM is now euro IV compliant, and I think the A4 is about to be, the others that use the same engine are. Bm Engine is allot quieter, more powerful (Torque and BHP) and more reliable (Measured by society of British motor traders and the AA). As for the car it's self, the BM is significantly quieter, and a lot better handling. That's not to say that the A4 is bad, just the Bm is better. This is backed up by every road test you will ever read comparing the two. Take a look at leasing costs which will give you a fair guide to the likely running costs/actual cost of ownership not just purchase price, the BM is significantly cheaper. All D BMs currently have a free 60K/5 year service deal, which helps explain why the Bm outsells the A4 nearly 2:1. Bad points of the BM, waiting list, arrogant showroom staff, a tad lacking in rear leg room. As for the comments about not being let out etc....absolute bullocks*s.

Impney Posted May 29, 2004 Share Posted May 29, 2004 Been driving Audi/VW diesels for over 12 years. They are not common rail as yet. My current car is A4 Tdi 130 Avant Quattro. No doubt that in the dry BMW is a better handling car, however having watched a BMW Touring tearing a rear wheel off as he spun off on a roundabout in Smethwick last night and my Audi was not in the slightest bit bothered by the light smattering of rain, chosing is a bit of a no brainer.
