so you're shopping for a BMW or an Audi you want a premium German sedan or a
coupe I'm gonna share with you why you probably want to buy a BMW before you
buy the out welcome back to the channel everybody mark with exotic cars lately
the pros and cons of both brands and what would make you decide to pick one
or the other we're gonna compare all the major facets of each car brand and then
you can make a decision at the end and I'm gonna explain to you what I believe
I would purchase and for what reason so first of all let's start with the
exterior styling of both cars of course when we talk about BMW if you look at a
lot of particularly the M cars the BMWs are a lot edgy ER there's a lot more
aggression going on there yeah sure Audi's a lot of times have the big open
spoilers and whatnot but BMW is a lot more prominent more big aggressive
spoilers more vents and generally speaking more creases and other accents
all over the car where the Audi generally is a little bit understated
great styling very attractive cars of course very beautiful in the Audi world
just slightly understated slightly more conservative unless you get into the
really aggressive models you know say for example an r8 or an RS 7 you're fine
gonna find yourself with a car that is a little bit more conservative than the
BMW now on styling I mean they both have benefits and we can talk about the fact
that they both have great unique body styles in in different versions I mean
they each bring something sort of unique and I'll give you some examples
howdy for example has the wonderful r8 the a7 RS 7 of course with that unique
unique back-end that style that chopped-off backend which kind of gives
a really unique style you know coupled that with the aggressive front spoiler
and of course one of my favorites in the Audi world is the TT RS which is an
extremely quick little car that I got a chance to review a couple of years back
I really loved it it's a sweetheart of an engine with that 2.5 liter
turbocharged five cylinder engine makes great sounds
and goes like there's no tomorrow so there's great cars where IOT in terms of
the styling the stout look and the aggression their BMW on the other hand
has some unique styling cars too such as the i8 e i3 and the m4 GTS which is a
hardcore diehard track wrecking machine the BMW first of all it has a very
high-quality interior fit and finish there's a lot of great materials
particularly in the upper scale versions like the M cars you get a lot of great
nice soft touch materials the switchgear is very nice high quality and overall it
gives a very very very sturdy feel to it that being said BMWs have a little bit
of an outdated look to them and honestly up until about 2018 here and now of
course the new restyle it's finally changed but a lot of the BMW still only
had analog gauges the old-school gauges and I know a lot of people a lot of you
guys you know don't hate me for it they're great I mean an analog gauge is
classic and of course it works better in bright sunlight however it's still the
old tech and Audi has moved massively ahead leaps and bounds several years
ahead at BMW you know the downside with the BMW interiors though unfortunately
now are you know the interiors you've get the linear dashboard which a lot of
people like it but in a lot of cases is slightly bland in my opinion as well as
also in my opinion the iDrive display the way that they stuck it right in the
middle of the dashboard tells me like it's more of an after effect an
afterthought they didn't really plan that one out very well you can't make it
go away it's fixed there it's situated and this is where it sort of puts you
behind puts BMW behind outtie in terms of you know outies technology
advancements and that moves us to Audi when we talk about Audie Brad versus the
BMW there's no question in my mind the Audi has the premium interior the
Tirion there's just something about it it's just a little bit
upscale from the BMWs the interior materials are a little bit nicer there's
even less use of cheaper plastics in certain spot they have a much better
interface system where you can either toggle between the dashboard right in
the gauge cluster or you can pop up the display in the middle of the dash but
the beauty is the middle of the dash you can make that thing disappear in a lot
of these Audi's nowadays so it doesn't become the eyesore that the BMW sort of
displays in the middle of the dash and that really moves us into the whole
discussion about the user interface the Audi one is definitely leagues ahead of
the iDrive system even though BMW sort of led the charge in terms of interfaces
you know way back when they first came out with their eye drive system they
were one of the first to come out with that type of concept and you know it was
just like Audi to basically take from that build on it and make it much better
it's a cleaner more easily operated system and of course it's just in
generally more advanced more refined than the BMWs and then we talk about
another one of the key ingredients and its performance where the BMW comes in
is the fact that BMW creates engines sort of unique for that car they they
design the engine based on what they want for that cars dynamics it's unique
its original and they really focus on that drivetrain they're more precise and
a lot of the engines and power trains coming into the BMW cars particularly
the M cars are in my mind a little bit more worked out in the sense of the
design the the delicacy and the performance the sound tends to come a
little bit more you know it tends to be a little sharper in the BMWs and you
want some examples how about the wonderful McLaren f1 with that glorious
v12 motor that they lent to McLaren that you know design in-house by BMW that was
still one of the best engines of all time as well as the e60 m5 now there's
arguments to be talked about reliability but in the sense of an engineering
masterpiece and this sounds and the 8,300 rpm redline that's
Formula One derived there's nothing like it
and so BMW there's no question in my mind creates drive trains that are the
primary focus of their car not the other way around now ollie on the other hand
you know because they steal a lot of the parts from the Volkswagen bin a lot of
the drive trains are a little bit more generic now that doesn't always mean
it's bad what that does mean is often the drive trains can be quite robust
well sorted and you'll have less issues generally speaking as well a lot of the
audi drive trains sounds spectacularly good how about the v8 r8 engine that is
an awesome drivetrain with that 4.2 liter v8 that they shoehorn in a lot of
their cars they've used them in the r8 and some of the you know the RS fours
you know are s5s things like that they've used that wonderful glorious 4.2
liter v8 which is not only reliable not only powerful but extremely great
sounding and a lot of fun to operate but it's not just about the 4.2 in OD
they also use some great engines like that two and a half litre five-cylinder
turbocharged engine that they shoehorn into some of their cars like the rs3 s
the TT RS as I mentioned before with that TT RS it is magnificently quick and
with a power-to-weight ratio that that car produces it is exceptionally fun to
drive and it's an awesome drivetrain that 2.5 litre as well engines that
you'll find in even some of the S models the turbocharged four-cylinder engine
that they share with the Volkswagen for example the 2-liter four-cylinder that
produces 300 horsepower that is a lot of power out of that displacement so great
technology there for sure shared between Volkswagen and Audi Oh both they have
wonderful rs7 that thing is phenomenally fast and up until the most recent m5
that thing would dominate over just about any luxury sedan on the market
with its performance and all-wheel drive sure handling capabilities it was just a
ruthless machine do everything for you the rs7 sure it
wasn't cheap but it did a lot of great things awesome machines and then we
talked about the last major topic street credibility you know Audi we talked
about some of the Audi's I think back to the you know the five thousands and the
five thousand turbos and all I can think it was honestly that's what comes to
mind so out up until they got into rallying really had nothing to talk
about in terms of their older cars they were
hideous they were disgusting they were unreliable and quite frankly
there was nothing about them made me want to buy an Audi back in the day
things have changed dramatically out he got their shit together and they finally
produced started producing some cars in the last decade or so that become
vehicles that you want to own performance machines they're more
attractive and of course they've got the Audi Quattro business so the all-wheel
drive has always been appealing where the BMW sort of lacks that that up until
a few years ago BMW couldn't match they didn't have all-wheel drive systems now
of course X drives and BMWs also are coming out with you know all-wheel drive
cars but still really other than the m5 you can't get all-wheel drive systems in
any of the em cars whereas the Audi's be a lot of the RS models they're all
all-wheel drive and you can enjoy that spectacular performance and you can
enjoy it all year round if you live in snowy conditions that being said when
you talk about street credibility BMW owns that they have a racing history
they were racing heritage and they also have they've been around a long time in
the 60s and the 70s and they've been producing performance cars since almost
the beginning of time hence their name ultimate driving machine that name sure
is a bit of a marketing ploy but there is definitely a lot of truth to it
so up until a few years ago honestly you sort of had to choose one or the other
you have to choose a BMW because you wanted the credibility you want the
bragging rights and you wanted that performance em engine or something along
those lines you would choose of Audi because you wanted all-wheel drive
systems that wonderful glorious Quattro system and a little bit of a performance
tuna to it as well well now in the recent years Howdy's up their game they
produced more and more performance based cars that are countering everything if
every other brand meantime BMWs been working on all-wheel drive systems to
bring that to the table to sort of meet already in the middle somewhere so now
the choice is more and more difficult between an Audi and a BMW you could sort
of have you know all-wheel drive at performance in either Brad for the most
part and so the choice really becomes yours which one do you like the bavarian
beast or do you like the Audi which honestly shares a lot of parts from the
Volkswagen parts bin and a lot of the parts are shared between many models
versus BMWs the engine is designed first and really the car is designed around
the engine whereas the Audi it's sort of the other way around they create the car
they market it and then they find a power plant that's consistent with
Volkswagen or Audi brand and shoehorn it in that car so the BMW like I said is a
little bit more of a focus on the performance whereas out it was a little
bit more focused on on luxury technology as well as of course a wonderful
all-wheel drive system so they both bring something to the table they are
both spectacularly great brands you have to make a choice for yourself now coming
to my selection what would I choose if I were to pick up
one of these brand new cars I'm out shopping for a new Audi or a new BMW or
new Benz of course as well well to be quite honest at this point in time I
think I'm going to be going for the BMWs and then
only because I love the engines and the drive trains in the current model
lineups in the EM cars in the BMWs I mean I've driven a lot of these cars now
I've driven some of the Audi's I've driven a lot of the Beemers and some of
the bends and honestly I can tell you the BMW still create a well sorted
high-performance drivetrain the M drives are exceptionally fun to drive the m5 is
just monstrously powerful and now with its all-wheel drive it matches the rs7
the m4 and the m3 are both great hot rods both driven both of them and the
fact that you can get them in a manual stick shift or the dual clutch
transmission is very appealing to me but that engine is just really really sharp
really Torquay really crisp and I have to say I love the M cars so either way
you can't go wrong but that's my selection so I really hope you enjoyed
the video everybody hope that shed some light for you at the end of the day many
choices many strokes for different folks of course everything brings something to
the table and of course we're all big boys here time to make its choice for
