The only real downside to the bimmers is that they are incredibly common around here, that and i find their interior blah compared to the audi. I like the c-classes interior if its black and has wood trim, but other than that it doesn't do much for me, either. Only interior that really "wows" me is the audis, at least in this class of cars.

I also found out that i get a reduced interest rate if i can find a car that is an 03 or newer, so that is now playing a role.

Any thoughts on reliability? i think it has been established the bimmer would be the best driving out of them.
