Default Don't forget Quattro, that's like 200lbs right there...

...you take that away, and you're right around the C32 weight!

Also, don't forget this is a fully laden weight, not the basic dry weight. The 5 series is around 3850 dry, and 4000+ laden.

Default Yeah, something doesn't smell right with those mpg #s...

The car mag. writers/editors are tough on their testers so it seems likely the average owner would do better than 14/20.

Default The B6 is a bigger car.

While I don't like the extra weight, I do like the space.

I have a friend who dumped his M5 for an E55 because of rear leg room.

Your saying 3825 was with a driver? Or just fluids?

Default One of the main things that turned me off with the B6

3.0 avant is almost 4000 pounds:-( One of the reasons we got a bimmer instead of another audi.

Of course you want a stiffer platform but you got to keep the weight down too

Default probably all fluids...basically an

'as tested' weight.

The audi brochure lists the car at about 3650...so that's the discrepancy right there..
