BMW "thunk" guy or Audi "thunk" guy?
Which auto maker do you believe makes a better car from all aspects and why? For years and years this argument has been present.
I myself (obviously) am an Audi guy. I just honestly have never been a big fan of BMW's.

Depends on the model, I guess.

Actually, according to my sig, I've owned two BMWs. I'm not brand-loyal for the sake of being brand-loyal. I'm intrigued by the S6, for example. I love Audi interiors and BMW has nothing to compete with the R8. On the flip-side I think the 6 Gran Coupe is probably worth the $ premium over the A7 just on looks alone. Like I said, it depends on the model.

Would you go and why?
RS5 or M3
S6 or M5
S8 or 750I

Fan of both manufactures.
I still say the perfect car would be the design of the Audi but driving the dynamics of a BMW.
However in my opinion, i prefer the looks of the 6 series grand coupe over the A7.

Fan of both.
Overall Audis design does more for me these days. But some bimmers turn my head (X6, 6 Gran Coupe, etc) I'm more a big fan of older bimmers (80s and older)

Yes that is correct. My dads 2011 S5 cab has the 3.0T and his will out perform me in a straight line but only by about half a car length so not a big difference. But would you rather have a V8 or a V6? But he has a STaSIS chip. So hes about 410 and I'm only 350.

I'm a fan of linear power...so personally, I would pick a v8 if the numbers are there (see what I drive) but I think Audi's got a better grasp on the FI world with a lot more potential in those engines and their ease and cost of modding vs modding their lower displacement V8.
So, while I am a huge V8 fan...I think with Audi I would take the 3.0T if given the choice.

As much as I loved driving a S4 Avant with the 4.2...I always disliked the exhaust note for a v8 engine.

Have you heard an S5 with an AWE track exhaust and downpipes? I wake up my neighbors coming home every night.

Audi is my choice between the two, however I find myself building this on the BMW site quite often
$58k with options and it's only a 328d
Curse you Audi for not offering the A4 or A6 Avant in the US! I don't want a stupid Allroad

I prefer Audi to BMW, but BMW wagons are really nice.
I am interested in the S3 sedan. I hope Audi changes their mind and brings the hatchback version to the U.S. If not, then I might consider a Golf R.

It's crazy how many models Audi offers in Britain but not the US. Take a look and design some

I do like hatchbacks but I really want a wagon of some sort, ideally an Avant
