BMW or Audi

[abstinent]

I tend to agree. Both are somewhat too common today to really see them as a true statement anymore.

cars that are still fairly affordable, uncommon and can still turn some heads

acura NSX and lotus elise, even old vipers(espeically blue with white stripes)

Audi has made some cool cars.

The problem is that they're mechanical nightmares. Lots of mechanics hate them. Some even refuse to work on them.

BMW makes cars that are cool and they're good cars. They tend to be very reliable.

Everyone I've talked to that has owned both says there's no comparison. BMW makes a way better car.

It's my understanding that Porsche owns 31% of VW but is trying to get a majority interest.

Annoced few weeks ago, their intent for 50-51%

BMW used to make good cars. Used to.

audi is still below bmw but not by much. of course now that porsche contols 51% of VW who knows what's going to happen.

Not by much at all. Audi drives like its on air. Sweet ride.

Meaning what? Reliability? Driving dynamics? I think that they are getting better and better as drivers.



er, that's kind of the problem. Maybe good for passengers, but not a lot of fun for the driver.

Reliability. Mechanically. Etc. Fun to drive but quality has been going to shit. I have a 700 series and an X5 and would never touch BMW again. I will stick with Lexus.

The 2007 X5 has been a cluster fuck of a truck. Read the reviews on JD Power. I am not alone.

I really enjoy my bmw 3 series. The girlfriend had an A4 and it spent quite a bit of time in the shop with electrical issues. My bimmer is a 2007 the girlriends A4 was 2006 so it was pretty new and had less than 40,000kms when she got rid of it.

Having owned each, albeit years apart (1985 Audi Coupe, which, as a previous poster mentioned, had TONS of electrical problems, and a 1999 BMW 540i), I would also say neither.

Nice cars, but frankly nothing special.

Also, TERRIBLE resale value, the BMW wasn't even worth the residual lease value after 4 years.

Having owned both, I preferred the Audi when new and the BMW as it ages.
Right now, I'd rather own Japanese.

How can you respect a car?

R8

I personally like the styling of the R8 if you're into the sporty look.

I'm no Audi fan but this bod is exception.
