In my opinion, and I start with “in my opinion” the bmw is a better option in terms of an all rounder. I had the Audi A4 s line black edition Tfsi and now have the new 3 series. If I had to compare both, the new 3 series is miles ahead with driving experience and of course it is rear wheel drive. The good thing about the Audi was the B&O sound system, virtual cockpit and seats were comfy too. However when looking at the driving experience the BMW has a 50 50 weight distribution which the Audi does not have and makes the car handling much more easier. The Audi in my opinion is more comparable to a VW in terms of driving experience. Please don’t attack this post as it is only a view from my personal opinion as I had both cars.
