Here's the engine we've all been waiting for, the 3.0 tdi bi-turbo with lots of noise and lots of power. Have fun! What do you guys think of it? Leave a comment and subscribe
Recently bought one of these after watching this review and test driving one. Coming from a F30 320d which was a great car in its own right, I absolutely adore my A6 BITDI 😍. The perfect balance of doing the everyday stuff with ease, but when the mood takes you puts a massive smile on your face like no 2.0 diesel ever will 😊
Your grin sold it to me, i had ordered new 2 litre tdi £41k , cancelled it and got A6 all road 3 ltr bi turbo for £1k less 1 year old low miles, proper quick and sounds meaty. Thanks.
Hi Bob, watched this video over and over. A S line avant came up for sale in a main dealer in Dublin a few weeks ago, 30 clicks on clock,- 2012. Bought it without seeing it!!! What a machine. Attracts a bit of attention, on 20's rotars. Boy racers seem to think they can teach me a lesson but I'm the one dishing out the honours maths...650 nm....fear my torque. Exhaust sounds amazing, 1400 rpm at 120 Kmh is also Impressive. Only down side is the official mpg is a work of fiction.
I've had my A6 BiTurbo since March now, and I agree with everything you say about the car. It is lots of fun to drive. I love that nobody knows what's under the bonnet until you race away from them as they attempt to overtake you. Very fuel efficient for what it is. My only gripe is that the C7 is ever so slightly smaller and tighter than the C6, that or I'm getting bigger!
hey bob love your reviews, i think your one of the most sincere and unbiased journalist on youtube, btw will you be reviewing the bmw 4 series? and may your mothers soul rest in eternal peace god bless
i can't make up my mind to either go for bmw 535d or audi bi turbo i have checked every review on google and youtube and i like the sound of the audi bi exhaust sounds and big factor its got 4x4 great for going camping ⛺️ i have to test drive both cars in naas and see which ones i like
Hmm. I might have to disagree with Bob here about the A6 Biturbo vs the GS450h F-Sport. So far, real life 0-100km/h and 0-200km/h runs between the two are very close. The A6 might be more stable on the highway at illegal speeds but I suspect the GS450h F-Sport has the measure of the A6 when it comes to the twisties. Ergo : the A6 is a supreme autobahn straightline stormer but the GS is the more nimble car by virtue of its rear wheel drive and rear wheel steering. And the A6 being a front heavy car due to most of its engine mass being in front of the front wheels.
The California is right in there too but it's not a car so I didn't include it in the list. The 640 is just a cut above with a lot more show but no more go
Really cool review. What do you think, 535d or 3L bi-tdi?! In terms of looks i prefer the Audi, but the inline six with RWD is just awesome. Fun vs Efficiency?!
The twin rear pipes might be a give away that its not a normal TDI quattro. The S4 Avant looks the better deal or the A6 allroad. A little too understated considering the likely price.
Sit at traffic lights and everyone just thinks your driving an ordinary A6, wow! its a very pretty looking A6 then BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM your gone up the road like speedy gonzales!!! Hahahahahaha very good...great review! My dream car!
Again one great review! That sounds like petrol V6, if not M5 F10, amazing job! I thought your 3 fav cars are VW California and RR ..like you say almost on every car review: "This is my top-lottery-list car!" :D 640d seems to do very similar task as this, tho' I haven't driven so I don't know.. Sad knowing about your mom.. I'm in thoughts with you, Bob :(
@ Bob Flavin i had an opportunity to test drive the Bi Turbo and what a machine amazing from within and out and that engine type is 10/10! Just had a wonder what would it be like with 4.2 TDI used in new and updated Audi A8! :)
Excellent video as usual Bob. I have to say, an avant with the same engine would be my bag. 18 inch alloys. I recently disposed of an sline avant a4 and the ride was simply terribly. How does this ride the bumps? I know the UK press always favour the 5 series, but is this as good for handling involvement. But, going back, my concern would be the ride quality. On 20 inch wheels, is it poor?
I'm with you on this.. Get the clowns off TG and we'll have this fella on instead.. he looks human like the rest of us.. maybe just woke up before this was filmed.? Good man.. he'll do WF
Don’t get me wrong I love The Verve and all of their music they are one of the few bands that I love every single soundtrack they ever done but in this video I just want to listen to that BiTDi roar without music.
Hi Bob, You say in the video that you'd have it in "this" spec but I'm not sure you explain what the spec is? It looks like an S-Line maybe, but what options are on it? I'm thinking of getting one of these primarily based on this review!
Is there any acceleration lag on this car?,i dont mean turbo lag i mean through the auto box.i drove the 3.tdi 204 engine in an a5 and the lag was terrible,even using the paddle shift to drop it into the 3k rev range it wouldnt pick up straight away like a manual does
Another trick they have missed is only allowing a dark black interior... Much nicer is the brown or cream leather.... Dont know why they have restricted the interior colour to any colour as long as its black..
Gearboxes on these are insane, same gearbox as the RS6, they pretty much never break. Chain I don’t know about though, I owned a 245bhp A6, gearbox broke and I had to let it go, my father owns the 313bhp one. Never had an issue and he’s put 80 000km on it by now. Crazy car
Robert, thanks for the reply., very unexpected. I found your films just recently and have managed so far to work my way thro' many.. and I've signed up. I like your style of presentation.. how you are pleased.. or not. is pretty soon obvious.. way to go. But please.. lose the bloody awful music.. people say this repeatedly on many sites.. but I came on here to listen to YOU and perhaps the motor growling.. not some crap lift musak.. Sorry WF
And just to say.. 1] For daily use.. an Audi S6 Avant.. and I want it in GREEN please. 2]A Porsche 911 Turbo S.. should come in handy then. Who could need anything else.? Some money perhaps.? But if you really push me.. A RR Vogue. to special order.. in Green.!. And it was YOUR fault son.!! Regards from the UK WF "SON".. a UK term of affection/ playful caring.!

I have one. It’s a bloody weapon, looks very unassuming but blows the doors off most things
Bob this is the blog what made me get Audi quattro. Got the black edition 3.0 tdi remap. First music was better before the edit respect.
Your Dad would be proud of you. A white avant version of the a6 bi-turbo is at the top of my dream list!!
They don't need it with that engine, perfect mix of economy with speed
Love the gurgle of that diesel. Intoxicating. The only real chance to hear it was drowned out by the intro music. I NEED MOAR!

What sort of MPG are you getting please?
You’re getting bigger.
I have owned both. I reckon interior space is the same from memory
This car in the avant version is my dream car
hey bob love your reviews, i think your one of the most sincere and unbiased journalist on youtube, btw will you be reviewing the bmw 4 series? and may your mothers soul rest in eternal peace god bless
I'm sorry for your loss. :(
Think i'd go for the estate version or if the Lotto, then the Allroad version with this same engine !!!
What a noise most people wouldn't guess it was a diesel
Love this video brother sad because I keep watching it respect thanks for the dream.
Dreams never hurt anyone!
i can't make up my mind to either go for
bmw 535d or audi bi turbo
i have checked every review on google and youtube and i like the sound of the audi bi exhaust sounds and big factor its got 4x4 great for going camping ⛺️ i have to test drive both cars in naas and see which ones i like
You'll be lucky if either car exists soon, I'd go bi-turbo every time
Thank you
Yea, I like that too, gives a movie kind of feeling
Sorry for your loss bob. God Bless

Ergo : the A6 is a supreme autobahn straightline stormer but the GS is the more nimble car by virtue of its rear wheel drive and rear wheel steering. And the A6 being a front heavy car due to most of its engine mass being in front of the front wheels.
Id also say the GS450h has better in gear acceleration due to the extra 27hp and the instant torque
If this car were available in the states I would think long and hard about it. First I've heard of this biturbo
The California is right in there too but it's not a car so I didn't include it in the list. The 640 is just a cut above with a lot more show but no more go
"320d with an M badge on the back" - LOL, I see this all the time myself!
Mmmmm...R8 just sold...looking a likely candidate for my next jammer! ...useful video, thanks!
Really cool review. What do you think, 535d or 3L bi-tdi?! In terms of looks i prefer the Audi, but the inline six with RWD is just awesome. Fun vs Efficiency?!
I don't think Maserati knows Ireland exists, I did ask and they told me to go up North and arrange it with a dealer.
Hi bob,sorry to hear of you mother.great review as always.that Audi is some machine,wow.keep up the great reviews.
Cracking car great video as always. Don't forget to give it back though.
The twin rear pipes might be a give away that its not a normal TDI quattro. The S4 Avant looks the better deal or the A6 allroad. A little too understated considering the likely price.
i suspect bob may be a bit mad.....
in a good way :)
Bahhahahahha you have no idea!
Bob Flavin Hi bob, great video, when will you be uploading a new video, its been 3 weeks since you last video. Thanks
Sorry man, I've been busy catching up with work and International launches. There's loads of videos coming out soon.
i am looking at getting one of these great value now
Sit at traffic lights and everyone just thinks your driving an ordinary A6, wow! its a very pretty looking A6 then BOOOOOOOOOMMMMM your gone up the road like speedy gonzales!!! Hahahahahaha very good...great review! My dream car!
I wish Audi did 4.2 TDI Quattro - appart from that fantastic review, thank you! :)
So many around and S4 on a diesel A4 gives me wind
Again one great review! That sounds like petrol V6, if not M5 F10, amazing job!
I thought your 3 fav cars are VW California and RR ..like you say almost on every car review: "This is my top-lottery-list car!" :D
640d seems to do very similar task as this, tho' I haven't driven so I don't know..
Sad knowing about your mom.. I'm in thoughts with you, Bob :(
Thanks David
"There's a 320 Diesel with an 'M' badge on the back... Why d'ya do that?" I always think that too...
Hey, great review made with passion...it reminds me the times of the old TopGear, they should hire you by the way.
@ Bob Flavin i had an opportunity to test drive the Bi Turbo and what a machine amazing from within and out and that engine type is 10/10! Just had a wonder what would it be like with 4.2 TDI used in new and updated Audi A8! :)
Deepest condolences

Sorry for your loss.
Thanks Mac
Thank you.
Keep the letter-boxing, it always works well for car videos! :)
Drives me nuts
Go test drive one, you'll wet your pants
Nice choice of music
Hi Bob, You say in the video that you'd have it in "this" spec but I'm not sure you explain what the spec is? It looks like an S-Line maybe, but what options are on it? I'm thinking of getting one of these primarily based on this review!
Hi bob, sorry to hear about your mom, best wishes.
great video Bob! Will you test the new Mercedes E-Class, maybe the Avantgarde version?
Tell that to TopGear! Thanks very much
They wake me up when it's time to film and then I go back to my natural state....snoozing
ddint see till the end uve lost someone bob so sorry mate! god bles Chris Flavin xxxxx
Good review man!
Yes the BMW would be more fun to drive but you'd take the back tyres off the whole time. The Audi would make a better daily car
"BMW 320d, Why you do dat?" LOL.
Sounds like a V8 when you're actually in it
Nice.... For a luxobarge.
When are you going to review a Maserati Quattroporte..?
Take me along when you do :-)
Is there any acceleration lag on this car?,i dont mean turbo lag i mean through the auto box.i drove the 3.tdi 204 engine in an a5 and the lag was terrible,even using the paddle shift to drop it into the 3k rev range it wouldnt pick up straight away like a manual does
Did you attend the launch of the new Nissan Qashqai if so whats the interior like
Amazing car! Any chance to test BMW 535D??
Cheers!
Another trick they have missed is only allowing a dark black interior... Much nicer is the brown or cream leather.... Dont know why they have restricted the interior colour to any colour as long as its black..
no you can order it brown and cream, which country do you reside in=
Me too, kinda ruins the meaning behind the M badge
A6 has it by a mile, the GS is good but it's just not there at high speed.
Best ever !
Hey Bob, really sorry about your Mums passing.
ok then Bob, which one to go for? Lexus GS450h F Sport or this thing?
Does it break chains an gearboxes as quickly at the 245 bhp . Probably
Gearboxes on these are insane, same gearbox as the RS6, they pretty much never break.
Chain I don’t know about though,
I owned a 245bhp A6, gearbox broke and I had to let it go, my father owns the 313bhp one. Never had an issue and he’s put 80 000km on it by now. Crazy car

Sorry
WF
What colour is this?
So you couldn't live with a pink '59 Cadillac convertible?
You should have seen my face off camera lol
And just to say..
1] For daily use.. an Audi S6 Avant.. and I want it in GREEN please.
2]A Porsche 911 Turbo S.. should come in handy then.
Who could need anything else.? Some money perhaps.?
But if you really push me.. A RR Vogue. to special order.. in Green.!.
And it was YOUR fault son.!!

Its bad that I know you're driving through portloaise
Bob, can you please tell me what color is on the model you have tested? Thanks!
I'm not sure what it's called but I think it's Daytona gray.
Thanks a lot Bob and keep-up the good work as usual! Cheers!
+Bob Flavin +IMRALINA Is it not Ice Silver?
It's Quartz Grey. I just bought one. Sorry for being 2 years too late!
I took in 2014 same model, but Silver one...Awesome car indeed!
your face makes 32314 Like :D !
You can get 1 of these for 20k now
This A6 3.0 BiTDI is as fast as M550d.
Oh dear no, there's something completely wrong about the pink. Caddy would be fine though
Sorry to hear of the passing of your mum.
