Re: BMW 325xi or A4

'99 and '01 are both the older A4s. In fact there are two generations after that. Both Audis and BMWs will have expensive maintenance with the BMW being the most expensive of the two. Personally, I think the Audi interior is about as good as it gets in <$100K car. Your taste will vary of course.
