Completely irrelevant. I was talking about choosing a 2.0 tdi audi a4 over a BMW 530d.

Do people still get hung up on engine sizes?

you may need to remove your audi tinted glasses
because you have an A4 (black edition means nothing) doesn't make Audi cars the best option always
If you want something that is engaging to drive the Audi would be last on my list having had BMW cars for the last 8 years and now have an Audi. they just don't drive as good (RS models etc excluded)
The interior and finish is better with Audi but dynamics are well behind - although they are getting better
Single stand out item of Audi over BMW is ride but that's because the previous generation BMW's all had run flats

I've been around Audi and BMW long before I had this, mines not a 'black edition' either.
IMO you get more for your money with AUDI over BMW, my two choices were an A4 or a 330D and the specs of them for the budget I had were way apart.
I reccomended the Audi in that spec because it's nicer than the usual more common A4.

A4 boot is tiny, even on the estate. BMW is out anyway (apart from X drive?) But again even the 5 series doesn't exactly have a massive load space, which is why I went for my Mondeo estate, however there is nothing from Ford to cover the 'exciting' part of the brief, possibly doesn't have the prestige you are after either? The mk5's do look epic though

I wouldn't be surprised if your Leon is more practical in terms of size than a B7 A4.
Boot space is limited in the Avant for a buggy, interior space is pretty much hopeless if you are using rear facing seats in the back.
i would think a B8 should be more practical.

Why is RWD ruled out?
With traction control, the car rarely steps out of place.
I had B7 special edition years back. Nice car, but boot is small.
I now have remapped 335d touring, and it's big enough for most things. And will shit on most cars in terms of pace.
Both fully equipped and comfortable, A4 is boring to drive, 335d better.
