    It depends.

    p.s. Both are very good cars in general terms.

    Impossible to say without more detail.

    Both marques have good and crap cars, before taking into account treatment and maintenance!

    All depends on what your looking for in a car.

    Do you want a long haul diesel cube on wheels or petrol beast!

    Which models and years of each?


  • Moderators, Politics Moderators Posts: 38,414 Mod ✭✭✭✭Seth Brundle


    let me guess: 2008 Audi R8 or a 2000 BMW 316i

    I think I would probably be leaning more towards the Audi but bear in mind motor tax, insurance, servicing and fuel costs may be higher.

    An Audi RS4 is much better than a BMW 116i but a BMW E92 M3 is much better than an Audi A4 SLine..........


    as above, models description required...

    Do you want to know the car that gives the best miles per gallon or smiles per gallon?

    ...sorry, but there are NO simple Motors questions - why do you think they had to invent this place ?? :p

    ...around here, we have loads of answers............we're just looking for top-notch questions to match them up with :D

    Oh, and, your question: if you have a penchant for rwd - BMW, for fwd, it's the Audi. Other than that it's which ever one takes your fancy.

    For me, the interiors of Audi's are better/nicer. The mechanics and technology are 6-of-one/half-a-dozen of the other..........

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    C'mon now! don't insult the ultimate driving machine by mentioning it in a thread about Audi's and BMW's.

    For what its worth, more skangers tend to drive Audi's these days.
    Don't know why, just an observation.

    I'd have said the opposite.

    Granted a fair few skangers seem to drive BMW's as well, but round here Audi is the firm skanger favourite.

    Not being smart, but why? Personal experience or stats?

    Noticed that too but would add Passat to it as well.
    Especially in Limerick.
