You could prefer either, no losers in either camp. I think the BMW folks would emphasize balance, lightweight aluminum and magneseum up front and rear wheel drive and knock the Audi for it's nose heavy layout and reliance on AWD to balance the car out. BMW also has some proprietary handling stuff with the split roll bar feature and the new speed sensitive power steering. Throttleless engines, as in BMW's Valvetronic, are also a unique item and really broaden torque and the top end, kinda' a win-win. With BMW there's something to be said for a car that doesn't have it's DNA in a lessor brand as an Audi does.
I used to think the 9-3SS was king of the luxury compact class, but the newest player at the table, the E90 '06 3 series is an awesome package, very nice inside and ouside.
