BMW E90 325i or Audi A3 3.2 Quattro?

[angang]

Hi guys, I'm trying to choose a small sporty luxury car. I've narrowed down my choices to the 325i or the A3 3.2. What do you think I should pick? A 335i would be nice but it's already too expensive.

A3: 3.2L 250hp, DSG transmission, AWD.
325i: 2.5L 218hp, automatic, RWD.

Thanks!

P.S. I know they are not direct competitors, but the 130i is not available and the current A4 is soon to be replaced here.

From specs, A3 sounds more interesting but how about their price difference?

[angang]

The A3 does sound more interesting. However it is about 300k more expensive. Do you think it's worth the extra cash?

in terms of looks E90 325i but then its quite common nowadays. the specs of the A3 may look tempting but i think overall ull be much more satisfied with the great handling of the 325i. imo

Hmm... 300k is kinda steep but if price is not too much of a big deal, definitely, I'd go for the A3. Much nicer features, more powerful engine, and much more unique.
