Been looking at a 4.2tdi audi a8 Quattro or a bmw 7 series.
Anyone got/had one and are they any good ?
Was just reading the stats for the a8
0-60 5.5seconds
350bhp
800Nm of torque

Check the specs on a Porsche Cayenne S V8 Diesel to see how it compares first.

I must admit to being slightly bias as I'm in the process of buying one.

I've got an A8 3.0 V6 and it's fabulous. It's also for sale if you're interested:

This new model is so much lighter than the older model; I found that the 3.0 engine in the old one was underpowered but in this one it's extremely acceptable...  Graham

Hi I am looking at a 2004 model but yours is a great buy but not in my budget
The one I am going to see is a 3.7 petrol Quattro with 115,000 miles.
Looks the part but we shall see what happens when i view it later

I would say Audi rather than the BMW.

Just subjectively its a better looking car, where as the 7 has always looked like a glorified 3 series to me. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

4 grand. Blimey. Stonking value.

They're understated but fabulous cars. Check for a perfect service history, it's very complicated... Graham

Went to see it and here is its faults…
15mpg
Rear lights need replaced
Air con not working
Front bumper damaged/parking sensors not working
Tv needs upgraded
Creeking from front suspension

Fair enough... mine's faultless by the way...

There's loads of A8s out there. I found a V10 S8 earlier today for only £12k. Graham

Where

I had an A8 Quattro sport tdi and it was stunning, so much car for the money and 4wd for wet grass and tin tent towing.....wouldn't consider a 7series in the same breath tbh.

Agreed, I love the A8 Graham

does the front end not need to come off to do the belts on one or is that just the A4/6 models?? FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's
