hello everyone

im looking to purchase an e90 335d or possibly the audi a4 3.0tdi (2nd option) i have a few questions :)

1) what are these cars like in dry/wet weather? i have thought for colder weather/snow having a spare smaller set with winter tyres on...

2)how does it perform in the snow with winter tyres :)

3)what is the real world average mpg people have got.

4)lastly it will be my 1st automatic and i much prefer manual so how does the paddle shifters work? normal mode is low rev changing i assume, sport mode im puzzled on.. does this mean it always goes to the redline n then change or just redline when pedal is fully pressed? (sorry if abit daft but never driven auto before :) )

thanks and hope not too much to ask.

Nah mate... "Sport Mode" lets her rev higher but nowhere near "redline", just optimum... These gearboxes actually protect the engine ;)

RWD in snow isn't the best but offers so much more fun, a spare set of rears would suffice LOL...

BMW's are far better balanced than ANY other competitor in it's class, Audi's are the dark-horse of the German clique.

Mpg... Just as any other tbh... Just keep her well maintained buddy... ;) :)
