Is the maintenance more expensive than the A6 4.2???? How about reliability - audiquattroduo 2008-10-09 19:24:21 (14 views)

going by inspection I and II intervals, i would say yes. - iconoclast 2008-10-09 19:29:58 (28 views)

reliability?? look what AKB is going through right now. - 5speed6 2008-10-09 19:25:56 (12 views)

So I guess i am better off just keeping my a6 4.2. don't bother with the 540i TIA - audiquattroduo 2008-10-09 19:35:16 (16 views)

either one is going to have maintenance issues (that's the German car way).. - 5speed6 2008-10-09 19:51:55 (22 views)
