E90 BMW 325i vs Audi A4 2.0T Quattro

[Juan Powerblow]

Market share in the segment is a good yardstick of how successful a marque has been. There will always been differing opinions in a diverse world we live in, but the market share will determine who are the disillusioned ones . Amongst its competitors in its class, I'd have to say I like the E90 look best... But then again I am biased heheh.

Well, it's also the most fun to drive. I can't say that's my experience with the OOOO.

[danc]

Devil, Only 100x ?? Why not 1000, 10000, 100000 etc etc

 

[DevilFan]

hahaha... expected. what i wrote lured e46f to the rescue, the 50-50 guy and then powerblow. the very zealous bmw guys! :top:

anyway, i saw a e92 yesterday. the rear lights are definitely better looking than other current models. as for the front, it looks like any older bmw cars.

 

[Mont-o]

Alfa selespeed i think look so plain dull as well:biggrin: ...Audi and BMW look better. hmmm what to expect car with 2nd hand value as cheap as proton wira:thefinger: .

I am talking abt the fuel consumption. Audi is more cost savings.:rock:

 

[Bimmer910]

i'm not sure! females like bmw because it is associated with yuppieness or trendy. many females already like bmw since the e36 days. i remember many just wanted to own for the sake of wanting to own one ("die-die" must own one). because it is so desired, PML introudced balloon payment scheme to lure these buyers. now this was way back in mid 1990's when bmw introduced a "chopped-off" entry level coupe 316i. at that time it cost around S$110k for this 316i coupe.

it really iss the brand thing than anything else. a female friend of mine told me "what's so good about bmw? the grille looks like a barbecue grill":4:

as for the audi? the new front nose style looks like - jaws that get stuck unable to close! audi is trying to style their cars like the way volvo did with their "coffin-looking" body lines. nevertheless, it is bold attempt, unlike bmw that is so so bland, especially the front and the "one-look-you-get-bored" bland interior interior. the different models look so similar especially the front you can't tell the models apart, unlike mercedes benz it is instantly distinguishable.

look at the new m3 interior - it's the same as lesser ones. and the worst looking ones are the m6. it's like a piece of kuih or prata being pressed by mamak's palm. no wonder bmw can never compete in the sports segment compared with mercedes clr clk clk. and the e60 looks like tis eye brows stretched!

bmw sales actually fell lately.

Actually, ladies prefer the BMW over say an Alfa because you dont have to sit at the side of the road waiting for a tow truck to come get you

 

[DevilFan]

I think females prefer civic rather than alfa:smokin:

 

[selespeed]

Alfa selespeed i think look so plain dull as well:biggrin: ...Audi and BMW look better. hmmm what to expect car with 2nd hand value as cheap as proton wira:thefinger: .

monto,

i can tell you are not intelligent person and not analytical. "looks so plain and dull" has nothing to do with resale value!

if you want to criticize alfa, looks and style would be the last thing. as much as you become angry for my criticism on bmw styling, you should say it nicely against alfa. that's why you are not intelligent person!

I can tell you are silly....why you so angry bro??? No need to use my intelligent to judge Alfa sillyspeed. I am not angry at all for your criticism on BMW styling....bcoz i know from your words you are dull type of person.

Cheers and smile.:rock:

WTH this flamefest is still kicking and screaming :laugh:

To be honest I can't comprehend how this A4 vs E90 debate can go on so long

In my own personal observations of my immediate market, the A4 is now almost 2nd tier to the favorites i.e. 3er, C-class, Acura TL/TSX, Infiniti G35 and Lexus IS. Next step down would be the Saab 9-3, A4, Passat VR6 and so on. The absolute dog in this sector is the Jaguar X-type 3.0 AWD.

Now I'm not a roundel snob, I went through a comprehensive shopping process and the A4 never made my cut simply because it had reliability and resale concerns which was never gonna cut it for me.

My finalists were the Acura TL, C230, Lexus IS250 and the 325i. By process of elimination I ended up with the E90. Well actually a Lexus event where I had the opportunity to push the IS hard against the E90 sold me on my car If for some reason the E90 didn't work out, my fall back choice was the IS for value, RWD and toyota reliability. A close 3rd was the Acura TL but its FWD Accord underpinnings was a drawback - I did love the gadgets and standard equipment. The MB was a dud, I thought but it looked good with the standard AMG bodykit and the discounts were big.

At your service always.. Thanks :rock: . Life in the forum is definitely duller without you Selespeed!

In all online forums, there will always be guys like you to liven things up a bit. I've carefully refrained from any low slugs and blows on the Alfa brand... Don't wanna see all hell break loose heheh.

 

[Mont-o]

yeah! you are right, we need clown to live up this forum. yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The only reason you are not in the league of Bimmer and Merc is you may not have enough money. So you settle with Alfa and try to justify it. and ahhhh the selespeed gear box is realy for sissy bro... pls lah.:thefinger:
