I like BMWs too, but Audis are the best. Two things:

1. Quattro is better than Xdrive and 4Matic.
2. Most of the people complaining about BMWs to be faster than Audis, should realize that Audis are always heavier than BMWs. When I was buying my A6, I compared the E-Class, 5Series with it. Audi A6 is 500Lbs or so heavier than the 530i. BMW was the lightest, and Audi was the heaviest among the three. I liked the solidness over the speed, so got my self an Audi.

 

i think for normal drivers (people who just want to get from point A to point B) it just depends on which one you like the looks/features of more because they are both good cars.

having said that if youre talking about any type of racing
well it depends on the type ofrace you wanna do.
a beemer would probably be a better drift car
but with audis quattro id say that would give it the uper hand in rally, auto X, any type of street course

however ive never driven a bmw and although my car isnt a quattro i have driven one that is, so im just saying from what ive heard and what makes sense.

i vote audi.... although for some reason i feel somewhat bias hmmm

 

I'm a huge fan of both. Surprisingly enough, I've driven more Bimmers than Audi's, but I don't really think an '06 X5 is really something worth comparing to my A4. I will say, though, that I did enjoy test driving a '97 328is - it felt quite solid for it's ageand shared a lot of the same features as my '01 A4, but I still prefer my car. Especially if you want to factor cost into the comparison. I picked up my car for close to $11k, warranty, tax, plates, etc. included, whereas the 4-year-olderBimmer I drove had an asking price of $12.9k. Both cars are sort of a rarity in my area, but the price for a clean e36 around here is outrageous. And keep in mind that both of these cars had ~64k miles, and no maintenance records.

To sum it up, B5 > e36, in my opinion (especially since X-Drive wasn't available for the e36 generation, whereas it was for every generation following, and the e30's). But both are great companies as a whole, and both have put out some beautiful machines. For this reason, I am not voting.

 

my 740iL vs my TT... little spread there, but love the audi. breaks less. haha, silly germans

 

this is all I have to say

 

my rebuttal

 

I'll also throw this one into the mix and see what happens

 

Well actually No. what i have heard is that the new M3 actually beats out the RS4 so Ha Ha im pretty shure that 5th gear rated the M3 better then the RS4 and Moter trend which is the link also says the M3 is "the precision tool" and the RS4 is amoung the losers

LOL @ Fifth Gear!! I can't stand that show!! And Motortrend is a piece of sh¡t compare to EuropeanCar, in my opinion.

 

Actually, according to my magazine, the new BMW M7 is a piece of **** compared to the new RS7. Bla bla bla. It all comes down to personal opinion.
