I used to own a Z3 and an Audi. Now I own a Z3 and a 316i. two BMW's . The new Audis do look good and they get good reviews because they're only test driven for about a day. But test drive an Audi one year afterward and its a totally different story. Mine kept breaking down all the time. And I mean all the time, and the Audi dealership just kept ripping me off.
" Sir I know the brake light is showing but we still have to take the whoe thing separately and it'll cost you 600 dollars just for us to take a look and confirm your brakes have to be changed."
" No sir, we still can not figure out why the engine light is showing up. When when we said $75 dollars an hour and you said work on it for two hours, we did sir, but now it'll take us another two hours to put everything back together and we'll have to charge you for that sir".
These aren't jokes, this really happened to me. And that was just the begining. Lights, breaks steering wheel etc.
And I wasn't the only one mind you, others who owned Audi's were in the same hole as me.
Now this is the service I got from BMW, never mind its a far better car .
" Sir what time does your flight arrive we'll send someone to pick you up and bring you to the dealership".
"Don't worry we'll throw in the four winter tires on us".
" two year garauntee, no, sir you pay nothing, everything is covered, expresso or restaurant latte?".
" Here is my personal cell phone number call me if you choose to purchase this car".
" Sir, if you want to test drive the car just take it for the day, take your time and get a real feel for it, we have exceeded off the tank for you."
" Oh your inside light bulb fuse is out, ahhh, do not worry we'll fix it free."
Never again will I purchase another brand.
