Funny thing about this thread is I recently needed to sell my beloved 540I sport 6-speed because of switching position's within the county government I work for. I need something that has all-wheel-drive as I am now under the heading "Essential Employee" - I
have to be there regardless
I decided to replace it; another BMW, but with all-wheel-drive. I wanted to do 3-series XI. But there are few and far between where I live in the condition and price range needed. So decided I would go and look at a 1-owner 2005.5 Audi A4, AWD - 2.0 turbo with 98K on the clock.
I could tell immediately that the car was as stated - really a 9.5 out of 10 on every level............................................. .......except when I take a test drive and get back and open the hood and hear the dreaded 'Diesel' sound indicating worn camshaft / high pressure fuel pressure fuel pump. I passed............
Ultimately, I found a '07 328XI that needed some love for waaaay under market and that is what I bought
