Audi anyone? - United Bimmer Community

Ok, so I noticed that most Audi and BMW owners respect each other, but not completely and not always.. I know that both are liked for being a European high quality car, but one always seems to be better than the other.. (bmw, ahem! (no im not biased)) lol.. What do you guys think of the Audi/BMW world?

My bro's girl has an Audi. Everyone in the family loves it

**DEATH2000** · 06-20-2005, 07:59 PM

mt friends dad loves Audi, he tried to convice me to get an Audi instaed of the BMW. Its obvious i made the right choice. But once i raced an Audi TT (not in the BMW). I pinned it to like 120kmh when we leveled off for a bit, then he saw me punch it again and he just took off. Like i mean he went from like 120 to 150 in like 3 seconds flat.

I like to touch them.

BMW = summer car
Audi= winter car
hands down.....Both have superior german quality and are equals with reliability. I have many family members with 540i's,745i's,535i's,S4's(2.7 and v8), Allroad, 4000s, 328ia, M3's and they are all awsome cars(the best IMO). I would just rather have a quattro audi in the snow and my M in the summer time.

Not a fan of an audi/ It's a nicer VW. It's like the Honda/Acura connection of Germany. But the S4 is just flatout a beast...

**EnvyM3** · 06-20-2005, 09:26 PM

I'll take an e46

**Spieluhr** · 06-20-2005, 09:33 PM

I would take an e36 over an a4 any day of the week.

**donald1476** · 06-20-2005, 10:10 PM

my girlffriend has an A4 2.8 5-speed, I would take an e36/e46 over it, but I would take a 1.8t A4 over an e36. I would also take the M5 over the RS6.

the better audis are nice, but what audi has mastered, as someone already stated, is snow/dirt traction. audi is known for their quattro and their rally racing

my bro has an audi, lol he wants to get rid of it and buy a bmw. my other bro has an audi quattro, and one time we were doing a trip in a snowstorm, we were 3 hours away from home, (the highways werent plowed, yes, not plowed, and it was snowing for 3 feet but cars kept on going over highway so there was like 2-3 inches packed snow) and the quattro obviously did fine, but the one w/out the quattro did exceptionally well for a front-wheel drive car w/the crappiest tires on there(he has exteremely nice snow tires but is too lazy to put them on) seroiusly, in winter, get a freakin audi

Word.

The small experience i do have with them leads me to beleive they are unrealiable shitboxes. Plus, they all look overstyled and plastic.

**EcianIce** · 06-20-2005, 11:23 PM

This is news to me. My family has had multiples of Audi ranging from 1983 to current models, and not one ever had any major problems.

Plastic ? Where ? And please don't say bumpers because yours are too.

new audi = VW.... VW= ass end of german cars

**komodo** · 06-20-2005, 11:52 PM

I have a great respect for Audi and love their styles, however if I had enough money for an audi, i'd find a bimmer for that much and get it instead.

someone already said it, and I completely agree:

BMW = car for good weather conditions
Audi = car for poor weather and road conditions

I would much rather have an AWD Audi in the snow than a BMW. It would be able to perform exponentially better. But for good road conditions, the potential of the rear-wheel drive BMW is much higher since the Audi will experience understeer at the limit.

Makes sense. BMW's are happy in Florida

I like Audi...as well. But I don't know if I'd really take it over a BMW. I mean, I knew this guy who had an e46 Laguna Seca M3....and he traded it for an Audi TT. I'm not a huge fan of the TT, but the A4, S4, A6, A8 are all nice. I like those, especially the more expensive ones...

What makes an Audi AWD better than a BMW AWD (for example-330xi)?
