Earlier this year I replaced my 9000 Aero with a 2012 A4 quattro.
I have to say the A4 is an insanely nice car with the same "nice European feel" as the 9K. It runs and drives beautifully, and handles very well without a punishing ride. Being a sedan the one definite disadvantage it has compared to the Aero is cargo-carrying capability. You can't fit a snowblower in the back like you can in the 9000 hatch, although I will say for its size the A4 does have a very large trunk. And it's also available in a wagon version although they're hard to find used.
For me a huge factor is the ability to do DIY repairs. For most modern cars you're not going to be able to do much more than basic repairs without a computer to talk to the car's systems. If you're a DIY'er looking at a BMW or Mercedes, look into the cost of the computer you need to work on them... most have 5-digit prices and many require a $xxxx/year software subscription to keep working. If you have a VW or Audi you can buy a $200 interface (Google "VCDS") that will do everything you'd ever want. To me that's a huge factor.
