how about maintenance?

Assuming you are now a few years out of warranty, any surprises? Is there still truth to the dreaded $2000 timing chain replacement at 100k?
From what I've read, Audi holds a better cost of ownership than BMW, just have no idea what is considered a lot or a little. My previous Saabs were easy, and the scheduled maintenance was never too hefty.
I do wish Audi still sold the regular A4 Avant still, and not the Allroad. But, seeing as the newest non-allroad is now 6 years old, getting a little risky for the used purchase.
Thanks for your input.
Adam
