Great video, guys. 4 years later, this is helping me choose between a used 330 and a used A4.
Thanks! Glad we could help!
Great review, and I especially like your style with the side-by-side comparison throughout.
Thanks! We appreciate that! 🙂
This was actually refreshing.. nice review man ! It’s been a while I watch a whole video 17 minutes in 1 time haha
Howdy, great comparison as always!😸😸
Since BMW is all new vs much older Audi all i can say Audi is holding really well.
at least someone realises that they are gonna update it
You guys are real close to me, I just picked up an A4 and absolutely love it
Nice!
My pick would be the new 3 Series! The new A4 is super nice as well though!
That's what I call a quality review! Subscribed!
Awesome! Welcome to the Car Confections 'family'!
Great comparison I couldn't decide which car they are almost the way same very good
Great review guys as usual but please don’t forget me for the Volkswagen review I am really considering it but need a review from you guys thanks in advance!!
Very thorough comparison. I would go with the 330i... skipping out on the M sport package shaves 5 grand off the price.
That bmw had that M package though, should have compared it to an Audi with S package.
It did have the S-Line package which is comparable to the M Sport pack, you can see the badging on the fender
@@andrecarpy6890 you can't get beige seats with s-line, dead giveaway that its not. s-line also comes with 19inch wheels standard unlike this car's 18.
@@matthewtakeuchi6062 this has got the S-Line badging, meaning it’s got the S-Line exterior styling. In the US the A4 doesn’t get an S-Line trim, yet some trims do include the S-Line styling such as the higher powered “45” A4
@@andrecarpy6890 we get s-line in the US lol, just not for the 2020 model year and on. 2017-2019 had it.
@@andrecarpy6890 what the other Matt said.
Well done gentlemen! Quality best in class comparison video of these German kindred spirits. BMW 330i wins the sporty eye candy contest for me between these two. However, when it comes to which would I actual purchase between the two? I would hands down want the A4 for the long haul; a ride or die daily driver. In my opinion A4 is best combination of modern intuitive intelligent tech, modest clean minimalist cabin with an athletic power train that is zippy off the line and can take on the curves with ease. Plus she meets all my google/android needs 😄
Thanks! Yep, it's hard to beat this class for great all-around cars!
These cars are so close, I think 4k cheaper version is the win here, not to mention more comfortable ride. I am planning on getting a4 with similar spec soon.
I always enjoy your reviews. In a couple months, I'll actually be purchasing a new car, and I've based a good deal of my research on your videos. Thanks for these.
As far as this comparison goes, the lack of Android Auto and Google Earth in the Audi are the real deal breakers for me. I'm not an Apple user, and I find it a bit disparaging that BMW hasn't included that in it's media system. I also like to use navigation, and the Audi cockpit is just marvelous. It's far more than 1pt difference in the actual driving experience. Finally, I find that the Audi is a bit quieter and less distracting in cabin over long distances. I don't feel as tired after 8hrs in an A4, like I do in a BMW 3 series.
That said, I think I'm going for the Audi S5 Sportback. But, even though I live in Louisville, I'll probably be visiting the Lexington Audi dealer, just because they've been so helpful to you, ...and you've been helpful to me. Thanks again.
That's awesome to hear! We are glad that we could be of assistance in the tough process of picking out a new car...and thanks for being a fan! 😀
I had a M340i and traded it in for an Audi A4. The Audi is a much nicer car especially as a daily. Of course it is not as fast, but the BMW was too fast when my commute is only 40mph roads, made no sense to me. My other car is an A6 and I just gotta say Audi knows what they are doing!
Me too, I always have to come to this channel to base my purchase on their reviews
I would pick the BMW. Great design.
My problem with most modern Audi’s is that they place the engine entirely in front of the front axle because of the geometry of the AWD system. The BMW has the engine quite a bit further back to reduce front heaviness
I love the both of them, it would be a hard choice!!!
i have to choose! 😢 i like how both look on the outside, i like the bmw infotainment system but i like the a4 interior better (also i’m looking at 2018 audi or a 2019 bmw)
After replacing 6 tires in 3 years because of rigid run flats hitting potholes in my BMW, I’ll never buy one again.
Tires should be the least of your worries when you buy a German car.
Blame your local government not BMW for it.
Anirban Chatterjee never happened with any other brand car. Same city. 🤷🏽♂️
@@MrAni02 true
I've had BMW 3 series vehicles and one 5 series over the last 20 years. I recently purchased my first A4 and now wouldn't go back to BMW, as the fit and quality finish just feels much more solid. Not to mention the great Quattro power and grip.
So you like the a4 over bmw or not ?
No, I wouldn't buy another BMW. Sorry, I had a typo, which I now fixed. Audi, IMO are better built and better performing.
Audi grip is crazy, Audi pull grip outta of her arse
I think the Audi is better inside and out, and I just would like to be seen in it more, can’t explain it,just how I feel. I liked the video,good editing
I saw the 3 series on the parking lot and it looks much better then on pictures. Holy cow its real good looking
usually all the cars look better when u actually see them
I really like these videos, they are Always really cool how you guys compare two cars against each other. I like the BMW’s new look way better but the Audi is very nice. I will still buy Japanese at the end of the day.
Good job. Regarding the Audi drive select, I would suggest that Auto is the standard setting rather than Comfort, because the latter makes the trans upshift very early and really dials back the throttle mapping. It also sets the steering to be super light regardless of speed. It’s more equivalent to BMW’s Eco Pro mode IMO. Did this cost the A4 a half point? Maybe, maybe not 😉
I looking forward to the 3 series M40i review, hopefully.
We actually just filmed the M340i a couple weeks ago if you want to check it out
It’s funny when you guys call the 330i a basic engine when it is one of the biggest engine options in Europe 😅 The base engine for the 3 Series is the 318d (yes, diesel) with only 150 hp or the 318i with 156hp. But it’s still more than enough for this car, plus it gives you great mileage! 55mpg for a 150hp diesel engine in a car this size is absolutely amazing!
Very nice, but you forgot the snow test with who's best on wet/snow test. thanks!
Which car has more presence BMW or Audi
The point system is appreciated but would be also cool to hear which one your heart tells you to pick
Audi for luxury.. Great review /points system that u follow is awesome 👍
Awesome! Glad you liked it 👍👍
162nd view, 16th like and 8th comment! How did I know you’ll do this?😃
What camera do you guys use? The quality is amazing!
We use a Sony AX53 4k Camcorder and GoPro Hero 7 black
both are just very very very good cars, these two are so close but will definitely thrash rivals
The fact of the matter is - these two cars offer somewhat different riding experiences. While Audi A4 is plush yet sporty on demand, BMW 3 series is more sporty aiming at all round balance. That makes the driving experience somewhat different. And there are plenty of takers for both. My personal preference is Audi though.. but that's just that - my personal preference.
I kept thinking the passenger was holding a cat.
That was a pretty darn good side by side comparison in and out, although when you’re giving us a song sample to here in one car versus the other how about using the same song sample in each car (duh)
That bmw is nice 👌🏼
the most fascinating thing is that you guys are wearing winter jackets, gloves and other winter equpment, while the release date of the video is 27.5. Either you've edited this video 3 months or you live somewhere on the north pole 😃
Damn..the audi looks good in and out
I like both. Though, because I live in the Caribbean I am disappointed the all new BMW doesn't offer ventilated seats.
The BMW seats run so hot I got sick of it. I have two Audi's, doesn't have ventilated seats, but they never feel hot.
Khalid Carrillo Audi does offer ventilated seats
@@12pm59 i know they offer it, just that my models don't have that option.
BMW looks way better and I like the 50-50% weight distribution of the car as well as the strong chassy, making it very easy to control the car and drive it like you want!
missing the drive modes option on the Bmw. Bad design on the Audi with the glued on tablet on the center dash. Try the adaptive m suspension.. its a game changer!
3 series 👍❤️ I like A4 too but 3 better
I wish I could get the 330i X-Drive in the UK.
i think you can, coz audi does for 45TFSI as well which is its lineup, but ill take RWD bmw, more economy and fun
Excellent comparison! I like better Audi than BMW
Thanks!
Really cool style of comparing vehicles!
Thanks man! We hope you'll consider subscribing to help us reach 100k by the end of the year!
@@CarConfections coming back to this video, my last car was a 2018 Audi A5 and now I have a 2019 330i and the bmw is so much better in terms of tech
Did you just call those Audi pipes real? I agree they are not as fake as the closed off they make, they still have small pipes dangling in them. Hate that
My BMW M340i had the same sort of exhaust housings.
Khalid Carrillo BMW used to not make those, but they do now ... sad - at least it’s not as fake as closed off as some of the Audis
The bmw has more durability tbh awd vs rwd bmw wasn't dumb to eliminate the rwd completely! More parts to wear out on a awd system sacrifice confront vs durability both great cars though!
To be honest.....Living in Germany and driving Audi and bmw for over 15 years, my Next car is going to be a Lexus. Tired of horrible maintainance costs and unreliability. My actual car is an BMW X4 and its a nightmare and turns into a Money pit
Hi BMW_OP
I'm living in Australia. I've got an A6 C6 with the 3L TFSI engine and the car has been very reliable, Audi dealer pricing here for service/maintenance is 3x times more than the local 3rd party specialist workshops. I changed the brake rotors and pads for 15% of the dealer quote. For a 2000kg Quattro it returns low 7litres/100kms on the highway and low 9's in Sydney traffic, if I drive without consideration to fuel economy it returns mid 11's in mixed traffic. The Michelin PS4's last 80,000 kms. I think it is a fine durable machine. My previous was a Lexus IS and it was superbly reliable but i would say the "bones" (chassis and driveline) in the Audi are overall better performance and suspension components are heavier duty. My friend drives BMW.and has had three X5's and totally loves them.
Nice cars, I prefer the exterior look of 3 series, including the last version. The Audi is nice but it looks a little too much like a Jetta to me.
I’ll take the A4 Tired of BMW styling lol
Miguel Ircontar you lost it!!! Complete mad man..
Suryateja GT their cars are quality too
Can you do a Dodge Viper vs. Corvette?
If we can find a viper!
Best bmw ever 💪
Really a 6 popper is powerful! Yes something Porsche has known for decades. There are 4 cylinder cars that are peppy! A modern 6 cylinder should have no problem being peppy in a car this size.
AUDI=TECHNOLOGY BMW=SPORTY
MERCEDES-BENZ=LUXURY
Exactly
You get it that’s how it is
Lexus= reliable
Audi for me. but I would prefer Lexus for Value
I would choose from the Mercedes-Benz C300 or Acura TLX Advance.
That is a good choice, but the TLX won't give you the sportiness of the other cars. Also, some reviewers say that it doesn't handle well. Just a heads up.
@@kryogenicmx591 you can get an A-Spec trim on the TLX which is just as sporty.
@@mikkiknox449 I think the A-spec trim only changes the looks of the car to make it look sporty. Correct me if I'm wrong.
@@kryogenicmx591 it gives the TLX more horsepower, more torque, and better braking/handling.
@@mikkiknox449 Still FWD which is rubbish.
2020 A4 will probably lick the 2019 2020 3 Series.
3!
Audi does in fact have remote start through their app.
When it comes to driving BMW rules.
When you have driven à rwd you don't even want to try a fwd.
Get the AWD version.
Two kids on the block.
Why did you not include a Tesla Model 3? It would absolutely wreck these two old school cars.
For me Audi is more luxurious than the bmw , too bad they don't produce manual transmission anymore , i think they don't sell very well .. super complete comparison 💪 Thanks guys
Yeah it's a shame that so many great cars are losing their manual transmissions! We just reviewed the Mazda 6 which lost it's manual for 2019 ☹️
This review is awesome!!! But neither of these would be my pick... 2019 Volvo S60 all the way! #swedishmafia🇸🇪
@@canomalo3662 Yes! But I like how Volvo puts the 🇸🇪 on their seats👌
Gio S6 Bruh the 2019 S60 is made in South Carolina USA
Audi for sure👌
Audi ❤❤❤❤
I think you give for free a lot of points to A4
My opinion is that bmw is much better than A4.
Audi A4!!! The 3 series front light looks like Peugeot 👎
?
BMW master piece
The A4 looks more Classy
Nicely played Audi but BMW did it better this time around.
audi is the first always .
No question, Audi.
you should have compared apples to apples and shown the A4 with sport package/black optics.
Audi is just a decorated VW. I found Vw Tiguan better than q5 in some aspects .. bmw is the way to go
why would you compare a bmw with a volkswagen?

I would never pick that fwd noseheavy audi against the mid engine rwd bmw.... ever
Mirel where do you think the engine is in that BMW? 😂
@@chestnut1974 front mid engine... search comparisons between audi and bmw and from the side how much in front of the axle is the engine mounted in the audi and how much under the dashboard bmw's engine...
@@chestnut1974 Exactly where he said it is.
Quattro still make the rules
Audi (VW+) Quattro can suck my dong
Audi won. No way the front of the bmw looks better.
😂😂 I heavily disagree. to each their own
BMW is not a sharp design, why or how could you think it was sportier is only because of your leaning to BMW from a personal choice. So I object, you came in partial to the Bavarian. No car in this group is sexier than the A4.
@@jeromedenis4754 😂😂 people like you are what we call ignorant and arrogant.
You know absolutely nothing about me. So for you to make assumptions is very remiss of you.
Firstly I'm a Mercedes fan, not a BMW fan.
And secondly, design and aesthetics are subjective, not objective. You cannot tell me my taste in design is wrong because you cannot prove why I'm wrong. It's my preference.
Now go and learn how to accept others opinions rather than typing shit and asumming things you have no knowledge of.
Yeah I also heavily disagree
Interior looks the same. Exterior BMWs looks better imo. More trunk space in BMW.
I ordered the BMW 330i
340i will be nice.
audi all the way
Audi lost by so much they literally gave Audi a 3 point boost at the beginning for no reason 😂
Audi jst sh*t the bed with their 2020 model. Bimmer all the way
Audi
BMW top!🔥
BMW!
Lexus?infiniti?
Lexus great
Infinity crap
The bmw has a way better interior. The Audi looks like a 2010 bmw interior lol
Looks good
Bmw lose at the infotainment 😂😂😂 its way better
the audi(premium volkswagon) would have been crashed if you stop giving 3 full point for its cheaper price
That's an old A4 though :)
BMW ❤️
Bmw always
Audi is far superior
The audi is nice but it does have that jetta vibe in and out
