I have been a forum member for some time - not contributed much - but I read it often. I have owned a 1995 525 for nearly 10 years and put 180K miles on it (car has a total of 210K). Bottom line - very happy with the car. However, it is time for a new vehicle.

I have looked around and have discounted (for various reasons) Lexus, Mercedes, Infiniti, etc. The only other consideration at this point is an Audi A6 quattro. Opinions, feedback? I am not trying to start a firestorm here. My tendency is to buy a car and keep it for a long period and I want to make an informed choice.
