- It's Audi vs BMW in our car comparison today. I'll be showing why Audi cars end up cheaper than most BMW cars and SUVs. There are many reasons, and this becomes a lot like a BMW vs Audi comparison review, but you can use this as an Audi review or a BMW review.

I purchased a 2014 audi A6 in 2016/2017 paid $22k for a $50k car. It had 53k miles. It now has 160k miles. I only changed the oil and had to replace two motor mounts , do a break job once at 80k miles. I still drive it 6 years later. It is a great car!
Sweet, I like seeing that many miles without any trouble, makes me more confident in purchasing an Audi myself. Currently looking at 32,000 mile Audi A3, if I could get some good use out of it with no issues (or very few) like you have managed, I'd be beyond satisfied. I hope your car continues to treat you well, and that you get a good value when trading it in! It should still be worth a decent bit even with the high mileage, every thing has went up in price recently, especially since your purchase date 2016/2017.
A likely story 😔
Lmao A6 weren’t going for $22k in 2016. More like $32k.
@@whatta7793 i own an A4 B7 Audi. its a 2005.7 model. i bought it with 268k km in the gauge. the car had a turbo issue so far, which i repaired at a service. i also pre-repaired the oil pump(more like a small hexagon change to one with 2 numbers bigger in diameter). the car rolls ,rides smooth and is good for "off-roading" since even the base suspension is a potent one. so far ive spent on it in a 2-3 year period like 1k euros with maintaince and the above mentioned repairs. remember. if you take care of them they will last a life!
@@lonewolf1300 wow, sounds like they're a little more reliable than I was expecting. I've yet to hear any "disaster stories" about them, just seems like regular maintenance, which seems to cost a little more than most vehicles, but still reasonable and no catastrophic failures.
For the 2.0T in the GTI and A3, the biggest maintenance seems to be $2-3k around 70k miles for timing chain and tensioner, and then $2-3k for a turbo around 110-120k miles. Other than that, seems like they're just regular maintenance like oil changes.
That's just what I've read about the 2.0T since that's the motor in the model I'm looking at (Audi A3). Sounds like you've had a pretty good relationship with your A4, thanks for the info!
Still driving our 2008 A4 3.2 with 132k miles. Aside from brakes, tires, and 1 valve cover leak the car has been very dependable and exceptional in the snow.
Nice
Well, I have had a BMW, Merc and Audi, and of all three, Audi was the cheapest for it's service plan. My A7 is half the price of my c-class.
@@ifeanyiikemefuna3706 Merc and Audi were over 3 years old
BMW is 4 yrs or 50k miles
audi is the best value IMO. They've been pretty good the last 10-15 years in quality
Most Audi’s are made in Mexico now, cheaper labor equals lower costs. But it doesn’t mean repair costs will be any lower. I don’t joke around when I say there is no work room in the engine bay of an Audi. Almost every repair on these things is an engine out job.
Many manufacturers sacrifice the quality by setting up shop in other countries, sometimes who do not carry the same passion for quality
was shocked when I found out but 2 series and m2s are also made in Mexico . don’t care still buying one :)
Made in Mexico, wow no way. Never knew that.
Wow don't get plugged with a Audi🤔
Well not alwaythe case the nicer models/top end ones usually are made in Europe but don't quote me on that
I almost pulled the trigger on an Audi S3, but I ended up going for a 40th Anniversary Edition GTI (no markups!). It feels good to pay almost $25k less and get heated steering wheel in Canada 😂
Great choice and while the S3 isa fun car, so is the GTI. Didi you also look at the R as its basically the same as the S3 but also a slight discount. Either way the GTI is one of the good ones and an awesome choice.
@@ECPP I did, but Golf R's are still just impossible to find. The people that I finally see getting the new ones are from orders placed >1 year ago
Ironically, I've been checking out the Audis, recently. The 2.5 turbo puts out a fairly good HP and I like the upholstery. Good information Mark!
You are right Thomas and I have a real soft spot for the 2.5L turbo 5 in the TTRS and the RS3. They are hot little rockets. The upscale versions of the interiors are great too. I have a friend who owns a SQ5 and Q stitching with carbon detail inside makes it feel quite special.
@@ECPP It was a car advertisement and I took the time to check it out because the price point was quite reasonable. Actually, quite surprised at the value. Now the long-term.... That would be my question. To your point, Audi or BMW? Highly subjective depending on the engine, model, etc. I like both, depending on those factors
I love all European cars for the driving dynamics; I only buy American or Japanese for trucks/SUV. Jag, BMW, Benz, Audi, Alfa doesn't matter a lot to me as they all have that Formula One dynamic excellence you only can get from European cars. Of the Germans, Audi has always been the design leader, BMW the sport leader, Benz the luxe leader. That is still true. Audi doesn't not currently make an ugly car; the Benz EQ stuff and the BMW pig snout?? 😅
You bet Trevor, they all bring their unique focus areas, strengths and weaknesses. I agree, the new style mode on current BMWs are an acquired taste. I actually have a video coming up in the cue some of these least and most attractive Bmws
Here in Germany they all are considered premium. We don't see for example Mercedes as more luxus than the other two
well, as a small point:
in USA the 2.0 Q5 has 248-252 hp vs 248 hp BMW, and goes in 5.9 seconds to 60 vs BMW 6.2-6.3. But handling X3 probably is better, yes.
I’m not interested in splitting hairs, but I am interested in good value. I bought a 4yo BMW 128i Coupe stripper (only 3 options, 18” wheels, leather and metallic, and no iDrive) for $22K, in mint condition with 11K. I got her from an older couple (car enthusiasts) in San Diego (no rust). She has a MT. I’ve driven her 50K in 5 years, and I have replaced the Continentals once, the ignition coils once, one coil once, and the oil filler gasket. At 60K, that’s everything, plus an enhanced 60K service. This particular model, and this motor in particular (it being used in many BMWs, esp. 328i and 528i) is noted for being virtually trouble-free. I paid what a well equipped new Corolla would cost, for a much sportier, similar quality (but more refined, high-strung and complicated) BMW. So far I have no regrets! The BMW is, I believe, much more fun to drive than the Corolla (or much else at this price point) would ever be, and the car is stunningly beautiful.
Such informative video👍💪💯🔥 much appreciated 💯
I beg to differ cause Renault makes the diesel components for Mercedes and Audi makes component parts for Lamborghini and a few other companies make or use parts from other brands 🤔
Audi shares components and design cues with a Porsche, Bentley and Lamborghini in S and RS variants. Those Rs and S models are build in Germany too.
Thanks a lot for sharing
Great and informative comparo!
What I like about Audi's is that they are much cheaper to maintain than the other Germans just because the compatibility of parts
That's because there twice as unreliable as a BMW. Had Audi's and never again.
Cheaper to maintain? Bwahaha
@@johncadogan9450 Audi is the most unreliable brand, I had two (A6 and S4). Electrical issues are a nightmare in this car and they love to blow head gaskets. Never again!
@@yg78t76t7 cheaper than the other Germans don't you know how to read? If you compare it to the Japanese of course it won't be as reliable
@@johncadogan9450 depending on the vehicle; take the V8 from Audi they're much more reliable than the ones in BMW lineup
The cost will level out in the Audi service center, while BMW's higher up-front cost gives you more opportunities to act pretentious until you need out-of-warranty service. (PSA: To really provide that air of pretention, be sure to pull your own copy of the Wall Street Journal out of that knock-off Louis Vuitton bag in the service dept waiting room).
Lol lol true
great video - quite informative
If you keep your cars for only 2 or 3 years you'll buy the German brands if you like to hold on to your cars for a long time you get the Japanese brands
Japanese cars are very boring don't get me started
I don’t agree with that. I have a 2002 Mercedes Benz E-320 (212,000 miles), a 2007 BMW 530i (176,000 miles), and a 2014 Porsche Cayman (61,000 miles)
In my opinion, the German made cars are better built and they tend to continue to look good as they age🏎
@@williamjackson5357 only brother I have 5 BMW
@@williamjackson5357 from that era sure, the new BMWs are built better, but Lexus, Acura hold value better than any brand because of how long they last.
@@Sakosaga The new ones you are referring to haven’t developed a track record of longevity yet, have they? Look at the build quality
NAL North American Lighting makes the headlights for BMW, Toyota and Lexus plus Harley Davidson. I enjoy your videos Mark.
2018 S4 got it for 27k . Been great , no issues just had to replace brakes . Regular maintenance schedule/ oil . Committed to getting a Q8 next .
Very good video. Kudos to you. 👍🏻
Appreciate the impartial view that you bring to the table. If someone would look at your videos from yesteryears, they may possibly feel that you have something against BMW.
But I have seen how your view has changed (a bit) on the brand and it's not presented as a complete write off.
Last part where you commented on synergies within a large group made you a BMW compared to other auto reviewers, that I haven't seen going beyond the parts and sum of it.
And last but not the least, so appreciate you not banging the camera, like you (unfortunately) do so many times. 🙏🏻
Thanks very much for the great feedback. I really do want to be perceived less of a “fan boy”. And speak more objectively.
I like most of your videos been watching for a long time. However, I feel that when you show a base model of an older car like this Audi Q5 and compare it to a newer version of a competitor like a BMW X3 you're not being fair in your review. If you did the reverse and compared an older BMW X3 to a newer Audi Q5 you would have the same results. Let's be fair compare the models but use the same year of each.
Was looking at buying a 22 Audi Q5e (phev), seen them for around $40k, w/around 15-20k miles, any thoughts/suggestions, I do keep my cars for a long time, the Lexus NX 450h+ is around $60k
Hit the nail on the head with the Audi sharing with VW...Porsche too. I once had a base Cayenne that was way cheaper than it looked to keep running because I'd use an indie VW mechanic who'd order parts with the Touareg SKUs. I had Porsche curb appeal at VW maintenance prices...Truck was actually cheaper than the Touareg too.
Oh!!! And check this out: the brakes from the earlier generation Cayennes are Brembo…and they are the exact same brakes in the Touareg and the Q7…and they are direct bolt-on for GTIs and GLI (if you wanted to do an OEM big brake upgrade). How crazy is that.
When I got my 2019 Audi RS3 I was surprised how cheap parts were for it.
Performance and Luxury for budget prices, why I love Audi.
Great video. I rather have a slower and reliable audi then expensive and unreliable fast, good looking BMW. The fact that Audi shares parts with VW means parts are more available and cheaper. VW and Audi engines are used in many cars, so if you need another engine you can always get it used for less money if you are thinking about keeping the car for a longer time audi is cheaper and more reliable 2015+.
I had a friend with an A4 and he said it was very trouble free - although the model year he bought had the piston rings replaced under warranty for the high oil consumption issue. BMW design and engineering for the most part is overly complicated and more likely to go wrong . . . which costs you the consumer as they age and things fail.
Have you ever owned a BMW?
@@titusrome2863 - yes - driven BMWs continuously since 1997 apart from a 4 year period with an Infiniti. We also own Acura and Volkswagon cars.
@@titusrome2863I’ve had more yearly maintenance on a 3 series than my current a4
I’m not sure if the pricing is different down here in the United States, but it seems like used Audi cars are slightly cheaper, but their SUV’s cost more than BMW SUV’s.
What can you tell me about the TSTSX 22 Acura
Thank you for the enlightenment
What a great explanation!
Thank you
Owned a mark 1 BMW 1 series and a mark 3 A3. Audi, of course the more recent model, but even accounting for that, just vastly superior. Totally reliable up to 107000 miles when I changed it. The BMW was falling to bits at a similar age.
Exactly, Consumer Reports say Audi/ Volkswagen #1 on reliability, BMW #2 and Mercedes Benz dead last in 3rd.
I WAS THE ONLY TECH WORKING ON A TURBOED 530 I, WE TOOK 1st FASTEST IN BMW CLUB OF N AMERICA COMPETION AT SEARS POINT, IN THE 80s, 4 YEARS IN A ROE ( 17lbs OF BOOST ) !!!!!
Great video.
It always makes me laugh Mark when you mention about BMW hoses. Not only are they ridiculously expensive, but more prone to splitting. A complete rip off.
The hoses in my BMW E46 are 20 years old and not one failed me!
Still love this channel!
Actually in here Europe Mercedes uses same engines on some models than some Renault and Nissan models 😄
Mercedes X-series pick up was based on Nissan Navara, but i think that isn't made anymore.
Then there is Mercedes Benz Citan whic is rebadged Renault Kangoo minivan with some styling elements from MB.
But you don't have either of those in North America i think 🤔
performance on the base models I would tend to agree with but once you get further into it they are both pretty competitive. The RSQ8 Eats the newer X5 M even though it makes less power. I've also found Audi's to be more reliable from personal experience but not all engines are created the same. Audi's older 2.0T engines had some issues and they've had timing problems on multiple engines. Bmw has had their own problems with wastegate rattle, water pumps, charge pipes, etc.
Well I love my Money Pit and will keep buying Beamers, I really never had problems with any of them, I really love the performance of the car
They do drive better than most of the competition
I can agree on lots of things told here. In Germany based on experience the Diesel engines are usually very reliable compared to VW AG's horrible tfsi engines.
I really enjoyed this video. Great points all of them!
I have to add..I started noticing about 8-10 years ago, women started flocking to Audis the SECOND they got a raise or a promotion or any other success. It was uncanny..And I’m telling you, it’s because they generally liked the designs that didn’t hit on actual performance, rather just looked fancy. See exhaust tips lol. I think too that it was largely because BMWs has been so commonplace that the ladies started to see what else they could feel fancy and cool in 👍
FINALLY! Thanks for making a comparison video that includes Audi’s.
What are your thoughts about modern Euro vs. Jap vehicles??
So bmw didn’t share the b58 with Toyota? Or I’m I tripping?
I disagree that Audis are cheaper than BMW. An Audi SQ5 as much as BMW X3 M40 and repair costs are about the same.
Here in the UK, the police force have had there fill with the BMW engine overheating, and said from now on they'll be looking for an alternative, be good to see which brand they go for. After researching.
Why are UK police driving BMWs? Here in New Zealand the police drive Skoda superb. The police here can't afford BMWs plus the Skoda is nice and roomy for hauling criminals.
the typical on-demand awd is as good as any other when the issue is just regular traction in snow/ice
That’s fair
actually the base 2.0 turbo in 2018 Audi q5 is 252hp so comparable to 2.0 in Bmw x3
Would love a 220i coupe, went for a fiesta ST 🙃
Great video dude💯👍🏼
Thank you very much
I WAS A BMW TECH 4 15 YEARS, Y BECAUSE THEY ALLWAYS NEEDED A LOT OF WORK, IF I HAD WORKED 4 TOYOTA I WOULD HAVE STARVED !!!!!
In Europe they are in general both just as expensive.
cheers
I have Audi a4 2003. Still runs well
Got a 2020 BMW 1 Series M135i, never changing.
Man, you're so good
Bmw doesnt make a 2.0 straight six, this comment is incorrect.
Right 2L 4 banger and 3L six. Cheers
I rented a 2022 Q7 Quattro and it was absolutely terrible. Missing way too many features like blind spot monitor, wireless charger, space to put my freaking phone. It just has a horrible interior and the double stack screens is bad space management. Cruise control was also damaged lol. The X5 I rented was so freaking good, better in absolutely everything.
Y’all still falling for this??? Audi shares the majority of parts with Porsche. The MLB platform is a good place to start. Other than the 992 and current 718 products, Audi and Porsche shares their parts across the board of selections. Please stop the nonsense. Turning into the “Rev up your engine” show are we? The Macan is based on the older gen Q5 platform. The Cayenne and the Q7 share the same platform. The 4.0 liter, 3.0 liter, 2.9 and 2.0 liter turbo engines are shared with Porsche. VW doesn’t have 3.0, 4.0 or 2.9 engines in there catalog. Old talking points. I own and BMW and a Audi now . My BMW doesn’t have anywhere the quality compared to my Audi. The door sounds when I close them both let’s me know who has the quality. I’m done with this.
Tell me what you know from a reliability standpoint on the audi b9 q5 generation.
Dear Presenter,
We situated in Asia . Namely Singapore . Although Audi is generally selling slightly cheaper to bmw’s model to model , but Audi spare parts are crazily high in this country .
Eg: ATF oil in a Q7 3.0 TDI , 8 speed box costs SGD 72 / litre vs a Bmw M6 DCT gear box oil of SGD of 33/litre . The former one is an Audi base model and the later one Is Bmw top of range model . Can you see that ? Absurd!
Audi comes from VAG Group . Their part productions should enjoy economic of scale n sell cheaper . On the contrary , they dun sell cheap in Asia .
You wait for performance motor sale that time very cheap. A4 more cheaper then camry or accord. But not sale that time they act atas sell until Merc and BMW price. Actually is VW parts with diff logo nia. Want to buy Audi must wait till they sell at honest pricing during sale.
Hey Mark, thanks for the fantastic content as usual. I've been considering buying a pre-owned 3 series, C class, or the A4. However, I came across two of your videos that had contradicting statements about maintenance costs regarding the Audi vs. BMW. In one of the newer videos, you mentioned that Audis cost around $650-700 per year, while BMWs cost an average of $1,000 USD. But in the second video, you stated that Audis are 12-15% more expensive to maintain. So, I was wondering if you could clarify which one is correct?
Also, I have a side question - are the BMW F series more reliable than the G series?
What are your thoughts on Jaguar suvs?
Jaguar are the sister company of Land Rover. They aren't known for reliability. Japanese then German then UK last.
isn't current gen Q5 coming since 2017 ? Its already 6 years old.
Wellzzz
Holdd up that “rear breaks of a Passat” reference was so extra😭
I have 18 SQ5 and let me tell u it’s more like a Porsche Macan I have never once drove it and thought of VW😂🔥
The only interior flash that BMW has over Audi is the lighting.
Nice
That was a good one 🤣
I find Audi's more reliable and better looking than BMW's.
That’s why bmw is number 1 in consumer reports now. B58 inline six is more reliable than v6 Audi engine, even b48 4 banger far more reliable than vw/Audi 2.0t. I have both bmw and Audi. BMW is still making drivers cars, m3, m5, X5m, all those cars dominate their sector. Even m340i, is better than s4 at everything including looks.
Interesting. It works the other way too. My SQ7 has an engine made by Porsche at Zuffenhausen as used in Cayenne, Bentayga and Urus. Not something that Audi boast about !!
VW also has Seat, Skoda and other brands to share parts and thus lower costs
What bothers me is how shallow a lot of car rankings are. They take a car out for a short spin or for a few days and if the boxes check off that’s it. I am REALLY glad I got my SQ5. I got $10k off MSRP a couple weeks ago on a 2023 Prestige with towing package (which was a must) and yeah, I paid stuff I did not need. I did get the air suspension with the sport differential. People complain about the “light” steering of an Audi but all I did was use the interface to customize and voila, I can now drive with a softer suspension setting, but with a “dynamic” steering set up. People talk about the GV70 as having a better interior than the Audi. But, just like the M40i, I found the 3.5 Genesis as having a much more “brutish” ride. I did not like the BMW interior at all. If it got to the point where Genesis was a true stand alone in my area, I might consider the 2.5 Genesis which has enough power to satisfy. I have not heard great things about customer service with these folks (e.g. you often can’t get a loaner from them, you are treated like you are buying a cheap Hyundai, etc). I have also seen examples of its wheels (and I do not like those weird, pebbly looking rims) peeling off the finish and chrome trim that looks tarnished after a short period of time. No car is perfect and the SQ5 is not. But, to me it is the best combination of fun, fast and being a good daily driver type of car. I plan to treat it well and hopefully, I can get my expected 75k miles out of it without major issues (meaning, if I go past the 50k warranty). I had 57k on my old Q5 and it had no problems. I have a personal grudge against Mercedes and view those cars as money pits so I am done with that brand. Lexus does NOT make drivers cars across most of their lineup (and specifically SUV’s), Acura is so-so in my book. I would be really interested if Mazda took it up a notch and created a luxury brand spin off which I know will never happen. If I had to choose between the basic Japanese brands, I would really look at a Mazda.
Thanks for sharing and great choice on the ride. The bottom line is there are many options, some being a lot better than others
Many BMW parts are nearly all made by OE suppliers, same as VAG. The difference is that BMW is engineered and built to a higher level…overbuilt perhaps.
Used Audis cost more than used bmw even more than used Mercedes. Current used newer s class prices 32k bmw is 30k Audi a8 is 36k Porsche panamera 46k
My loaded up prestige 2023 SQ5 listed at 76,000 US. It was an end of year deal (November 2023) so I got it for about $65k. Then of course, the dealer added on some bullshit stuff but overall,I got a decent deal. I have the real exhaust tips. I drove M40i and it felt a bit “bulkier.” Plus, I don’t like BMW drivers as a rule so it would be hypocritical for me to own. If I wanted to throw bumper stickers on my car one would be “BMW makes great cars, but I’m not a big enough jerk to drive one.” My other sticker would say “Visualize Using Your Turn Signal”
Money pits. 😂
Yes
And yet Audi has better reliability than BMW these days.
They are money pits compared to Toyota especially if you pick the wrong one. But if you actually enjoy cars and do a little homework you also don't have to drive a Toyota. 😂
@@chrislim7976Nothing wrong with Toyotas. The Tacoma & the Tundra TRD Pro’s in particular are amazing trucks.
@@Lilwebstarr
You can cherry pick something decent from any family but the bread & butter of Toyota is basically Uncle Camry and crazy Aunt Prius. That said, I've met some of the BMW family and many have serious clinical level self esteem issues.
Just fyi the 5 cylinder vw engines used the same coil packs as the Lamborghinis. Those v10 motors were basically two 5 cylinders.
That is the great thing about audi as you can get cheaper parts. Since vw, audi,porche, Lamborghini, and Bentley all owned by VW group.
Bmw is lucky the full rs line isn’t stateside
For every rs we did get they lead in the class 😂
Bingo. RS don't play Games....
BMWs are generally faster but that's a lot because of tuning imo. Plenty of examples of mod for mod bmw vs Audi they end up at similar quarter mile times after mods. Not always the case but it seems to be the case in some of the S vs M models
It’s not just about speed. Bmw feels different to drive because they have rwd platform. I like how bmw feels to drive More than audi. Audi feels like a vw to drive with a Little bit More refinment. Bmw is More natural to drive. The design is about taste and interior quality is about the same . I had an audi but never again. I’d rather have a vw and save the money .
i work in the pet industry and the pure breeds cost more to maintain :-) same as the cars , lol
@8:21 BMW 2.0 i6?
I've had both: an A6 sedan quattro and a 6 Series coupé. I really liked them both, but for me THE CAR is the BMW given the fact that the Audi lacked two things: sportiness and exclusivity. Another ride that I can call THE CAR is my Jaguar XF sedan, which just like the BMW, checks all the boxes.
I 100 percent agree, the Jag is a great car that often gets overlooked. BMW is a bit more exclusive as well
@@ECPP how are BMW more exclusive when they sell just as many cars as Audi. Look at their worldwide sales.
Good job, but the base Audi Q5 is 252 hp, not 200
I'm currently shopping X5 vs Q7/Q8. Another difference, not only do the BMW engines (3.0 mild hybrid BMW vs 3.0 mild hybrid Audi) have pore power, the BMW engines are also (on paper) MUCH more economical.
I'm tired of seeing both Audi and BMWs everywhere. I want an f type
F type R is in my sights, a few years old. Most of the depreciation has occurred. The 911 has gone off the charts for price.
Id say this is accurate on the entry and lower level models but on the higher models its the opposite because you share platforms and engines with brands like Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche.
IT COST A FORTUNE TO KEEP THAT 530I RUNNING RIGHT !!!!!
Great review
We had 2018 X3 M40i - wonderful experience, fun, comfortable and sporty
100 percent cool vehicles
BMW Z4 M40i and Toyota Supra are nearly mechanical twins, sharing the same engine, chassis and electronics.
Indeed
I STRONGLY disagree. I had an A5 3.0 TDi, which had several issues during the 313000 km i put on it. The parts might not be as expensive like the ones for my M6 V10, but way away from "cheap".
Yeah, I’ve heard from people to avoid any diesel Audi, the better 3.0 is their V6 Supercharged gas/ petrol
The labor to change the spark plugs and coils on a 3 series is absurd.
I agree on all except on the interior design. Coming from a 7 years experience with 3 series (F30)and 5 series (G30) i have to say Audi makes much better and more advanced/futuristic looking interior design. BMW tries a lot but always feels a little bit outdated on the interior. There also many extras that are very expensive when buying a BMW while they are very cheap on Audi, VW, Seat/Cupra. I now drive an Audi Q3 and it feels light years ahead the old BMWs i owned. You get SO MUCH MORE technology for your money by Audi than on BMW. My car lacks an rear parking camera but even here in Germany it was dead cheap to retrofit the original camera into the car. I payed 370€ for the cam and the installation. If it was a BMW i would pay 290€ for just one hour of work and 999€ for the hardware ....
Not sure why BMW are more as personally they do not have the same road presence as a 2023 Audi or Mercedes . 10-20 yrs ago BMW was king. Now it’s just another brand in my eyes
Completely disagree. In the used market I found my 2010 bmw costs A LOT LESS for parts and maintenance compared to my previous 2008 audi. Seemed my audi was actually a Lamborghini lol.
But, My audi S4 was a lot nicer on the interior, and had a lot more features vs my bmw.
I have both, bmw definitely has better drivetrains, b58 inline six far more reliable than any Audi engines.
You bet
Who cares about reliability when you only drive the car for 1 - 4 years like me...
In Europe Audi is more expensive than a BMW.
But what would they say at the country club?
I know two peeps who owned Q5 models 2016-2019. One was a lemon and the other had issues as well. Why not go with the VW Atlas Cross sport if a cheap Audi is what your looking for
That shows ignorance. The two models are in no way related. The Atlas is built on the cheaper MQB platform whereas the Audi is built on the MLB platform. Two unrelated cars. Americans think they are related because they are similar sized but that simply isn't true.
i feel like this video is very bias and misinformed. BMW does have a better looking interior but in term of quality, Audi is ahead of BMW imo. as for the interior lightning is also available in the Audi. but then again the model that you are presenting is the older model. the Q5 is actually a porsche macan as well. i checked the MSRP of both Audi Q5 and Bmw X3. the price is actually the same if you opt in the Audi Care.
You mixed the comparison. Audi first have a competitor for the X3M. So the SQ5 goes head to head with the X3M40i which is superior still to a SQ5Audi is generally more expensive in the states. Look at Q7
If you know nothing about phones and dont care, you buy any smartphone, if you want a proper phone, you buy a galaxy S23 ultra or a BMW if we talking cars, who cares about affordable? we all gonna die anyway just buy nice stuff.
That’s fair. Can’t take it with us
@@ECPP pls make a video of BMW 545E keep it up with the nice videos.
We have to remember one thing bmw is the leader audi is the follower
Audi is a dressed up VW with same horrible constant repair needs. Ask any shop owner or used car dealer & they would confirm this, Audi is the softest luxury car at wholesale auction.
