Yes that is normal. If it had been an M6 car at 60 you would prob be just shy of 1500rpm.

M6's have 3.42's all years but 1993 (they had 3.23's, but different trans gearing).

Having an A4, your rpms is going to be high. You don't have the extra gears an m6 does. That sounds perfect where your rpms are.
