Nice review. Have you done an A6 (2021-24) review? I couldn't find it and thought this may be the closest to an A6. My question: I am looking for a lightly used, preferably CPO'ed 2022-23 (1) 530i xDrive (premium pck), OR (2) Audi A6 (prem plus, 2.0 Turbo, 45tfsi quattro) , and "under $45K" max budget. Which one do you recommend? I just watched your 2022 white 530i xdrive review video. I'm looking for exactly the same type of vehicle. (Alpine or mineral white exterior, and light beige or cognac interior). Or the equivalent in A6 domain... Thank you.
@@serdarozen8941 the A6 is shorter in length but not quite as good on corners. Fun to drive both vehicles have but the BMW is a little faster too. Both vehicles service isn’t bad, my brother owned an A6, we also have a BMW both no problems. With Audi see if you can get one with Audi care on it so you don’t have to pay for services. BMW has specials that will make service a lot less over the next 60-100k. I like the BMW more but the sweet spot is the 540i if you can get a good deal. Right now dealers are more open to deals so don’t just go to one dealership. Shop around and get some on paper so you can get an awesome deal. Congratulations whichever why you go and let us know which one you get or if you have any questions.
@@HawkeyeRides Thank you! Yes I will definitely keep an eye on the Audi-care thing, and also check out the 540i's. To me, BMW looks a bit sleeker & sportier, while A6 looks more business-executive type... one thing that is disappointing on the BMW is that it doesn't have 360 camera nor the adaptive cruise even with premium pack. I have to find one with drivers assistance and parking assistance packages I think! But in Audi, they are all packed in in the Prem plus package. And right now I can easily find few 530i's around me around $40-43K cpo'd, (they do not have adaptive cruise nor 360 cam) while Audi's are far fewer and seem to be a bit more expensive (prem plus + executive pack). Maybe this is due to Audi (prem pkus+ exec pck) coming more loaded with real leather and all these options, while 530i with premium pck is closer to Audi's base premium only trim, and thus it is a bit cheaper. I also like the styling of bmw better... my search will continue... One last thing: I think black optic+lowered sport suspension with 20" wheels ın A6 would reduce the ride quality and overall comfort. So I am searching for the A6's with 19" wheels (the ones without the black optic+sport) , so I'm going for the ones with "prem plus + exec pck" , and avoiding "prem plus + exec pck + black optic & sport suspension" . Do you recommend doing that? I prefer smoother/comfortable rides, rather than bouncing off of every tiny bit of imperfection on the road. Thank you!
@@serdarozen8941 it will be more smooth but the resale isn’t as good as it makes it look more luxury than sporty. If you do it maybe a chrome delete or satin-aluminum delete.
Great review. Love the fastback design of the A7 but I believe the Genesis reliability to be far superior. I wouldn't want to own the A7 off of warranty.
At 9:15 on the virtual cockpit, is that a standard setting with the tach and speedo together on the right side? Or is that an option that comes with one of the packages?
Thank you for watching today’s review let me know what you think in the comments.

Excellent car review
Thank you
Does the 2022 premium plus come with more options then the 2019? You named stuff that's not included on a 2019
That is correct, the 20,21 and 22 added more features each year
Great review. Love the fastback design of the A7 but I believe the Genesis reliability to be far superior. I wouldn't want to own the A7 off of warranty.
If you buy it new it should be good as long as you service them but it can be pricey fix 👍🏻
I’m 6’5 182 I want an 2018 or 2019 A6, will I have plenty legroom in the A6 or would I need an A8?.. also great review bro I watch all your videos!
You will be fine with both but going to the A8 will give you about .2 more inches. The A8 feels more wide as well (I’m 6’3, 180).
Which model has the higher performance specs??
The BMW m550i will have the most performance than Audi S7 and Mercedes AMG GT43
At 9:15 on the virtual cockpit, is that a standard setting with the tach and speedo together on the right side? Or is that an option that comes with one of the packages?
It’s standard,

@@HawkeyeRides hmm… I’m talking specifically about the “S performance display” screen. How did you get that on a non S car?
@@davidmapile430 this is Std screen setting, if you get the RS then you have rs1 and rs2
@@HawkeyeRides I also have a standard A7 and I do not have any of these settings for the S Performance layout
Disappointed that the price wasn't discussed.
Around $70K, on all my new reviews post Covid I add the Sticker Price on the exterior part of the review.
How tall are you?
6’3 or 190.5 centimeters
@@HawkeyeRides Ok cool. So you had decent room in the backseats.
@@Mr.CEO888 yes both front and rear but in the rear middle seat it’s not as good
