The A4 is new in all respects. Although I think the new A4's exterior styling is incredibly boring for a new design, its interior design is light years ahead of the BMW.

From a driving dynamics perspective, I think that the S4 is a better car than the equivalent 340, especially when spec'd with Audi's trick sport (torque vectoring) diff. However, at the lower end, the A4's nose-heavy, FWD architecture doesn't compare with the 320's or 330's RWD architecture.

So it really depends on where you want to compromise. If sporting driving dynamics is more important to you and you're looking at the lower end of the range, I'd buy the BMW (and hold my nose every time I got into its horrible interior). If the overall package - smooth drive, comfort, style - is more important, I'd go for the Audi.
woowww !!!, you drove lot of bimmers (saw from signature), what made you to switch to an A6?
