Hello guys. Ive had my 730d for about 18 months now and im thinking of getting an a8 4.2 tdi. If i do upgrade then it will be a D3 2009+ model because of the updated MMI which is the 3G-High i believe. The reason why i want to upgrade is because little things have started to really bother me with my 730d now such as not being able to view and select my music through the idrive because theres no USB/SD compatibility and im always playing music on my phone through the AUX. Also, im wanting some more power, yes i couldve remapped my 730d to about 280bhp which will be good but still not as good as having 320+ bhp and then getting an a8 mapped to 370-380 would just be... well... orgasmilicious! I mean my 730d which is a Stratus Exclusive Edition comes with keyless entry/go, heated, memory, comfort seats and with Night Vision camera is overall an awesome car thats covered 88K with full history but knowing i can get a 4.2 V8 diesel with 320+ bhp which returns some decent mpg but most of all which can play my music and open folders in the MMI just makes me want to sell my 730d tomorrow. Its a minor upgrade as well otherwise i would've just waited for a while and upgraded to a 740d or to the D4 A8 4.2 tdi.
What im wanting to know is whats the mpg like? town and motorway, also, what are the common problems? any problems with the MMI screen as ive heard the a8 has a lot of electrical issues? anything else then please let me know. Also if you could please tell me your personal review on a D3 A8 4.2tdi in regards to ride quality, power, issues, gadgets/entertainment in comparison to an e65 730d. Thanks guys, would mean a lot.
