Sorry dude if I move another of your topics, I know the general is the most visited forum, but don't worry, you'll get your answers here too 
BTW, do you have an A4 3.2 where do you live? Here there is the 3.0 V6 and then the 4.2 V8 S4, but no 3.2...
The c320 is cool, but an A4 or an IS would be more confortable.. and the A4 has the quattro system.. always usefull during winters

in that price range i`d definately go for a BMW.
i don`t know what you prefer ( coupe, sedan.... ) but i`d take a 325Ci or even better a 330Ci

3.2 A4? i saw a 3.2 in the TT in some mag, but i havent seen an A4 with it. where do you live? i like the Audi. Ive got a 1.8t A4 Quattro right now, its completely stock but has run for almost 25000mi and i havent had a single problem.
but with those choices, your gonna get a good car no matter which one you go with. ive driven each one and they all felt great, go do some test drives, see what you like best.

I'm 99% sure there is no 3.2 engined A4... but the 3.0 is already a good one...
Sure, compared to the 330Ci, it fades away! BMW and RWD rules

Another blend of the new with the tried and true. While bigger and more powerful than the engine it replaces, the 3.0 liter power plant is almost 50 pounds lighter thanks to its extensive use of aluminum. And at 220 hp, it's strong - really strong.

my vote is with the Audi. AWD might slow you down a little bit in the dry, but if it rains or snows youll be the only one laughin at the Beemers spinnin em in one place LOL
Beemers are nice, but around here it seems like almost everyone has one. And you cant get a manual with a Benz. so i say Audi!

If you have hard winters, Audi's quattro system all the way.. if you have summer 365 day long or if you won't use your new car with winter, the Bimmer would be the best choice IMO

That is a really hard decision. I love them all. I would say test drive each one and see what you like the best.

What about an Audi S3, I know it is a bit smaller, but it is a great car. It is even possible for 5k to get an RS4 engine fitted!
