I was just about to post that I thought BMW was too high performance a company to be using FWD on anything.
RWD is gonna suck in the snow. Go with AWD. And buy a good set of snow tires, 'cause the performance tires that come on either one are going to be awful in the winter.

Wait guys - isn't this the same young kid that everyone ripped on in DH for having a nice Sunday to ride??? Shouldn't you all criticize him for asking about a high $$$ car???
I have to agree, if performance in the snow is a primary concern then the Audi is a clear choice.

I'm on your side, bro. If you read Price's thread from the other day, you'll see I am mocking a few people.rockymt21 said:

Audi has historically made very capable snow cars. My old 4000Q was better even than my Subaru.

Than what? BMWs? Not much, I would think.rockymt21 said:
The trick with Audi is to find a good independent VW mechanic that won't rape you and take it to her/him.

I guess you could explain how that fits in with the two cars he mentioned.surfinguru said:
Quattro is simply the patented AWD technology Audi uses. The A6 he's asking about would be an A6 Quattro.loco said:I guess you could explain how that fits in with the two cars he mentioned.
Or did you already know this stuff?
loco, don't be such an ass hat: Audi AWD = Quattro.
A6 comes in FWD and AWD/Quattro options
BMW is RWD. If he's serious about being able to drive around in the snow, then an AWD vehicle is the ideal solution.
edit: damn, beat me to it SS

And the BMW *does* come in an AWD. It's the x designation. i.e. 325ix.surfinguru said:

D'oh! Bitch slapped! Forgot about that one...but for the money? Audi's usually the better deal. More standard features for the same $$ vs. BMW.
And Quattro is superior AWD.surfinguru said:

I can seldom help it.surfinguru said:
That said - I know nothing about cars, but I think the Audis look cooler. If I were to buy a car, it would be an Audi or a Volvo. I just think they still have a nice enough square look that belongs on a car. Maybe they changed that too, but I hope not.
You're too deep in hock to have a nice car like that, Tex.loco said:

Audi is the way to go. If you like the wagons at all, they have more evenly distributed weight and handle better than the sedans. I have a 1999.5 A4 Avant 1.8T Quattro and would not trade it for anything except an RS4 Avant. =]
Not even for an RS6 Avant?Total Heckler said:
Nah, the RS6 is too big for me. =] The RS4 is just right!
Highly recommend the BMW. I'm on my 2nd one in almost 10 years and they've been great. Very low maintenance, hauls ass.
84K miles and I'll probably get another 80K with no problem.
And they make a great bike rack:

Ha, I ran into some of that when I posted a thread about a first car. I ended up with a 1970 Porsche 914. Everyone saw Porsche and freaked, even though it's got an 80 HP VW Type IV motor. They said Porsches are a pain to work on, even though the entire motor and tranny drop out the bottom. They said a Porsche is too expensive, even though it was $1400. Got, you gotta love ignorant curmudgeons.loco said:Doesn't matter man - you are a kid and don't deserve it.
Yeah. You and all the other BMW cultists.Hailight said:
