This can only end up as a circlejerk.

And OP, how about not dropping how much money YOUR FATHER has in every thread?

It's hard to compare when you only have 2 models in the RS-line (US)

The M6 Gran Coupe is a stunner. Pictures do not do it justice.

Old 5 series would be the only thing I'd consider, I always liked the looks of old Bimmers but doubt I'd ever buy a German car. I see a newer 5 series black with blackout grills and dark tint often, damn that thing looks good.

Since I saw Awe mentioned a few times, I drive past their shop almost every day, seen a few cool Porsches and stuff out there.

Both of you took the words right out of my mouth.

OP should've named the thread, "Circle Jerk for Audi Fanboys". Tell me son, how many cars have you owned in your vast years as a driver?

This one gets me tight in the pants every time. Seeing it in person is just . Very hot ride. I love the new 6 series. It has always been my favorite series... and the redesign has made it even nicer...

The Audi interiors are very nice, but I also don't think the BMW interiors are awful either. Mine is pretty simple and honestly looks and feels very nice.

In terms of exterior styling it honestly depends on the model. Some Audi wins others BMW. An issue I've had with Audi is that the S models are often too bland and are barely distinguishable from the regular models. I guess the same could be said with a 335i and a 335is, but in that case the BMW comes off as more aggressive.

I can't believe this is thread worthy

Amazed car peeps voted for either Audi or BMW alone.
Morons.


They both have some fantastic models, and both have some models and designs and oddness.

Point being there are plenty from both makes that I'd certainly love to have.

Audi A6 and A8, not to mention the fabulous R8.

I have been an Audi fan a decade before BMW.

I like a few American cars... 2013 GT500, Viper is OK, the new Vette looks 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.
I dont think that the hatch will come here. The S3 sedan looks super nice i think, i may consider selling the 5 for one once i see it.

It's all about the "thunk"

...that and door hinges, and climate control vent locations in relation to the Nav screen.

I agree with those who said the M6 Gran Coupe looks amazing in person. I like the interior as well.

Overall I'd say I'm more of a BMW fan, considering driving dynamics and actual # of models that I really like compared to Audi. But yes, it really does depend on the model.

You don't get how people can be fans of one brand over another brand in general?

Should everyone like all 32 NFL teams dependent on specific players? Or is it OK with the great and powerful Moog for people to just be a fan of one team even if they may like a few players from another?

Sometimes I wonder about you...
