#17175 of 21354 Re: The BMW335i saga continues...... [tagman] by rockshocka1 Jan 19, 2009 (1:46 pm)
Replying to: tagman (Jan 19, 2009 12:53 pm) I disagree w/both Lou & you & think the Audi is better looking. There's always the eye of the beholder thing...   I don't perceive a big gap though. I see it as 1 & 1A, either way (less exotics) & neither would be kicked out of my bedroom for eating crackers.   My favorite part about both is I think they both look good AND are distinctively different representing their brand styles well. If that makes sense. Replies to this message: circlew (Jan 19, 2009 2:37 pm)

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Jan 19, 2009 1:46 pm) Given the looks are on par, the interior refinement and desire favrs the Audi.   I assume the 335 takes the drive award.   At the end of the day, if you want refined traction, the A5 fits perfectly. If you favor performance, the 335 is for you.   It's the best I can offer!   Regards, OW

Replying to: louiswei (Jan 19, 2009 9:55 am) Surely I am biased but I think my f-sport enhanced IS350 will have no problem out run the A4 on any furface except wet and snow.   With just 265hp and 243ft.lbs, the A4 isn't really a match for most of the entry lux crew. The 2.0T version is more competitive, and will easily beat the criminally slow IS250 AWD.   The S4 with QS will shut down the IS350 and the 335i on any surface and in any weather (as it should for the considerable price premium), make no mistake about that.

BMW 335d   Aside from enjoying my car, I was unaware I was so 'green'.   Regards, Jose Replies to this message: anthonyp (Jan 20, 2009 12:54 pm) jlbl (Jan 20, 2009 1:17 pm)
#17179 of 21354 Hmm... by m4d_cow Jan 20, 2009 (1:02 am)
I've tested the 335d myself. Have to admit, none of the old diesel cues, save for a very slight rattle when cold starting (barely noticeable). Acceleration felt strong, but the numbers didnt agree, I got about 6 sec to the 60. As for the rest, I didn't find any difference btween the diesel and gasoline powered version. The concern is price. In European countries the higher price tag returns in the form of lower emissions tax (which can get ridiculously high out there), not so in this country. The higher sticker, plus more expensive price for diesel fuel makes me wonder if the 335d is worth it...
#17180 of 21354 335i vs. A5 by m4d_cow Jan 20, 2009 (8:12 am)
So inevitable. Here's my take:   Styling: BMW has the sleeker look, Audi more muscular. Both equally elegant = Draw   Interior: BMW wins a little for simplicity (sans i-drive), Audi totally rules in material and design = Audi wins.   Performance: BMW has the edge over Audi in every category I can think of = BMW wins   Last, pricing: Both are similarly priced with similar equipment = draw.   For me it's basically a draw, but if I'm to choose I'll take the Audi for it's exclusivity over BMW's dime in a dumpsterful status

Replying to: anthonyp (Jan 20, 2009 12:54 pm) Tony,   Congrats to all of you for the new President. I've liked his presidential speech. Time will say if he will success in dealing the global crisis with the necessary fair leadership, but just now he is a milestone in world history. I wish the best to him and the USA Citizens (and collaterally to the rest of the world ).   Regards, Jose
#17183 of 21354 Just what, exactly, is "Nuance" leather? by tnboy Jan 20, 2009 (1:44 pm)
I would like a definitive answer, rather than someone's opinion, to exactly what the "Nuance" leather on some GM product seating really is. Is it leather or not? If it is, then why does Cadillac refer to it as "leatherette" in their own on-line literature? Does anyone out there REALLY know? Thanks.

Replying to: rockshocka1 (Jan 18, 2009 2:35 pm) I wish you the best with your Audi.   I think I just got one of those exceptional lemons   Based on this forum I can tell you quite a few BMW owners are not going through what I am going through right now.   So what happened to my car?   The reason my car was stuck in the snow was solely due to a software prolem. Various modules (traction control , steering, braking) worked together to make my car immobile. Sort of like having a car built by Microsoft   It took them two full days to correct this software problem.   Apparently the only mechanical problem was with my window motor. This is the third window motor that malfunctioned so far.
