Mercedes AMG or BMW M or AUDI RS series. WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE?

[funfun1981]

Must be convertible!

AMG C63, BMW M4, or Audi RS4/5 Convertible?

Which one would you choose for all-year daily driving.?

 

[whynot888]

All three are nice cars but personally id go with M4 just because BMW offers free maitenance for 3 years.

Its not really free is it?
I know they replace BrakePads and Rotors every 15k miles for free....
what else is free?

All maintenance is "free" ,...which includes the obvious fluid changes for example.

I appreciated that when I had a 330ci,... and now I have a Q50,... which does not.

All regular scheduled maintenance (oil changes, spark plugs, etc.) for 4 years or 80k. Considering the cost of maintenance, its a good deal.

Guys, do you really think all those services, etc. are free?

Wake up!!!!

"Free" only means "no extra cost"!

And I don't think any of those models are available as convertible... so I hope you have lots of money to convert a coupe!

Go with the Benz ... but convertible in our winters maybe not the best choice.

C 63 is one of the worst handling car I have driven. Can't drive in winter either. Audi RS 4 cab is best. Much more better handling, great control in winter driving and less problems. Just buy the prepaid Audi care pkg.

hmmmmm, interesting.
Never heard someone say that before. I the AUDI RS4 is AWD, true that, but the interior of the AUDI is old.
the materials is nice, but the layout is 4-5years old.

Also not the greatest choice if you ever roll your car.

Rollbars FTW

Personally, if I had the money to purchase a luxury convertible automobile, I would go for a sporty convertible Lexus because this brand has the best reliability records in the world based on Consumer Reports in the past several years.

 

[hamermill]

F150 or Dodge Ram...

 

[HEYHEY]

All three are nice cars but personally id go with M4 just because BMW offers free maitenance for 3 years.

Nothing is free in this world. That maintenance is simply calculated and added into the cost of the car at elevated prices to boot.

If i had to chose id go with the RS4

BMW M4. On pure performance alone. Then you factor in the 3 year's maintenance plus the fun youthful sexiness of the BMW brand and to me it's a no brainer.

Full disclosure: I presently drive a M Series BMW and previously drove a Mercedes E class sedan. I get many compliments with the beamer and not as much as an acknowledgement when I drove the Benz.

 

[exploration]

You guys understand bmw builds in the 'free maintenance' into their cost right?

Anyways, all are great cars. I personally went for the c63 so i am biased but the MB prestige plus the performance of the c63 around the track really impressed me. Interior as well is luxurious as well. I also daily it.



Again all great cars. Test drive them if you havent.

Tbf you were driving an e class. Heh. Try driving around in a c coupe or the amg gts. You will turn heads

Although it is true that typically the bmw attracts a younger appeal. And the m4 is a stunning ride lol

 

[onceaday]

Driving any of those cars in our Canadian winter impresses exactly nobody. Find a proper fairweather 'vert with a MT. If you know how to row your own boat that is.

C63 is useless in winter. Plus, AMG cars depreciate like no other car on the market. But, if you must have a Benz, and need it for the winter, then take a look at the awd C43. It was introduced as the C450 AMG Sport in '16, but for marketing reasons, renamed it the C43. It's been getting great reviews, although one "downside" is you may be looked down upon by other AMG drivers because this car isn't "one man, one engine". Who cares though, right? It's not like they're make your monthly payments. And it's available in sedan, coupe, or cabrio.

I really like the styling of the Benz (C63 or C43), the new RS5 from Audi is a beast of a car, and BMW combines performance driving with luxury like few other automakers can. First world problems, eh?

Go for lots of test drives. Ask lots of questions. Read the reviews. It's a lot of money, so don't just rush into a decision you may regret later.
