Hey guys, my name is Chris Chrzan ('13) and I haven't been on this forum since probably running for officer in 2012. Anyway - good to be back and I have a question I was hoping you could help me with..
Deciding between 2011 135i w/ MSport package and 101k vs 2011 Audi S4 w/ 108k (+3k more expensive). I'm mostly looking for the driving feel/experience over practicality (my last DD was a 2006 Z4 so anything would be easier after that). The S4 hasn't had the DSG issue pop up yet (so it may be pending) and also hasn't had the timing chain tensioner issue (yet); the 135 has the N55 engine which is MUCH more reliable and I have already fixed most related issues in my Z4 like coolant expansion tank etc so I would know how to tackle those projects. I'm leaning toward BMW, because, well, it's a convertible and I need Vitamin D or I get S.A.D. quick.
Hit me with it...
