If your doing mega miles, I'd opt for the A4 without a doubt, or even better a 3 series. The 8 is a great car but you never know when big bills are looming (are you still on your original gearbox?) or when/where it may leave you stranded. With the A4 you will have warranties/replacement cars from Audi and lower everyday running costs. It will be less headache in the long run, if however you can afford to keep the 8 as a weekend/special occasion car then that would be ideal.

I'd opt for the 3 series over a front wheel drive A4, its a better drive. The BMW service in my experience is in another league to what Audi offer and then there is the fact BMW have enough faith to put an unlimited mileage warranty on their cars rather then the pesky 60k capped one that Audi offer. I know its a BMW but its hard to ignore what a fantastic product they put out, just my unbiased opinion.
