Tyler: FYI - The 2000 Audi 2.8 has had 20 Technical Service Bulletins issued by Audi. Most of them look pretty tame, a few serious. The 2000 BMW 328i has had 3 Safety recalls, 2 General Recalls, and *49* (count 'em, 49) service bulletins issued. Most of them look serious. The 1999 Saab 9-5 (2000 isn't listed) has had 1 safety recall (to put a warning sticker on so everyone knows there's airbags in the car) and only 17 TSB's, most of them very tame.
