#BMW #Audi #LIMOWARS
“They wanted as few knobs in here as possible so before you came in, there was just the volume knob” 😂 good genuine laughs with TH videos
Funny, I've always associated Audi with knobs, mostly in the drivers seat :D
genius lmao
LOL
there's one thing you guys are lacking, night drive experience! the headlights look amazing but there's different tech inside, and it's a really important factor to take into consideration
100% agree
I would've liked to see the Audi with a light interior, like cream leather. The BMW seats are gorgeous
Believe me. It looks better with white interior
@@lowrider69yearsago58 my dads volvo had white seats and its just so much nicer. I feel like white interior is just so much better than dark, it lifts the atmosphere up. BUT, question for u guys, white or dark red like the bmw?
BMW seats are by far the top. Just to add Best gearbox on the planet is BMW
zf structure. Much more reliable and comfort than any DSG and CVT gearbox. That is why when you drive a BMW you feel there is something better in that shit.
And of course there are many factors contributing an opinion but I have a feeling BMW is the word best in terms of engine, consumption, comfort, materials( just need to use less plastic and rearrange it with carbon and Kevlar, ). BMW is a combination pack. Audi not, same for all VW group and Mercedes that always something is missing.
Bmw interior looks like a ugly shit
Audi interior is HOT🔥🔥🔥 air conditioner is touch screen and everything is touch screen W O W
at 7:22, this is the one of the most clever jokes I've heard! Absolutely brilliant haha
10:48 is even better
6:16 " 3. 1 inches , that's more than any man needs"
the best one of the video is the one with 'one knob on' before;-)
Lmao I just understood that
Who cares it does not have QUATTRO!
Audi is yawning and the BMW is about to sneeze. 😂
Ah, those fronts could make any car fan cry but thanks to your comment we can laugh about them 😎👍
Ur supposed to be a poet
Mercedes is about to eat both
@@porschet5898 nah go to sleep
Raja Khan Ahh yes, beats both, faster and quicker
6:16 'That's more than any man needs' lol... the sarcasm these guys carry throughout their videos is hilarious and super fun to watch.
BMW: this our biggest grill in history
AUDI: .........
LEXUS: ........
lmao
Toyota Avalon: Hold my facia.
Eye Of Nelms
Avalon has the ugliest grills
GENESIS: ..............

The colors on the 7 series inside 😍 wow
“It feels like a yacht, the front end comes up like a speed boat!” - TH.
Love it, I feel like ‘we’ are the lucky ones it have you guys take us with you on your awesome reviews. Thanks Throttle House!
That walk to the back at 5:20 is legend
Wtf, have you seen the front of the BMW lifting up when he floored the gas? Damn
dude the bmw v8´s are insane.. this 7 series can reach 310kmh and puts some sports cars to shame on the autobahn accelerating from 100-300!
Yep, i have driven a 730d, and it had about half of the power of this car, and it squatted pretty well when i floored it. Looks very cool, and feels very cool. Air suspension in the rear you know.
That thing squats like a 1970's Lincoln. Yeah it's got power but it's very un-BMW. They've gone full luxury here.
4:45 just a beautiful thing to look at
haha stupid its synthetic suspension designed by bmw just like they did with the exhaust note in the M4
People mock the grille but it actually looks very good on the road. Aggressive but elegant at the same time.
Ah, I thought I was the only one thinking that
Guys, you are getting better by every video you make. The review is comprehensive and contains a lot of information. Great review. Keep up the good work!
I love watching your show! As a fellow Candian living abroad, I challenge you to test these cars on the Autobahn? You have to get either of these puppies above 160 kmph to even appreciate them.
It's a whole new level of respect! These cars will not disappoint you at 250, they drive like butter.
You can't seriously expect them to be able to go to Germany and get *Euro* press cars (which will have some differences compared to their CA+US counterparts) every time they want to review a luxury sedan, do you? In the US & Canada, the only way to get an Autobahn-like experience would be to:
a) Be on very good terms with local officials + Police force and get them to shut down a segment of some road for a short length of time on a certain day ahead of time (which is hard for anything short of a large/old company to do, and probably costs some money to boot)
or, b) risk losing their ability to get a press car forever (at least from whoever loaned them these) by *severely* breaking the speed limit on some local road with lots of long straightaways, and then using vague wording (to avoid admitting to committing a crime on camera) to explain the way they feel in a scenario that is not legally possible to experience just about anywhere on the NA continent.
I'm sure these are great for the Autobahn, but just stick to recommending the experience to them if they get a chance. Shouldn't have taken much thought to realize that it's unreasonable to *challenge* them to do such a thing on the channel...
@@moogle68 calm down
Haha, love how you made a intro with Alex when you were in the UK. I enjoyd your video. Keep up the good work! Both grills are hideous btw.
audi is more simpler. bmw is more aggressive. I think u can get used to the grill on bmw. audi is too simple.
100O0-qmarq funny. I like simple. Less is more for me
I think the Audi grill works. For me it's the most attractive element because overall it's kind of a boring design. I generally love their design language though, and think most of their line-up looks great.
@@2004cyrus I agree. That's why I appreciate Audi's design language. It's understated, but looks clean, modern, and distinct. Good proportions, well-placed lines.
Much like Canada herself, this channel doesn't get as many visitors as it should. Location, location, location?
The most literal and honest “in a second” ever. Throttle house is the best 💯
The 7 is just a facelift. Very important when talking about the interior
dopened facelift you mean horrible nose job
Doesn't matter, it's not as if BMW drastically changes interiors.
@@midifire Not drastically but way bigger screen, cleaner look, nicer lighting etc. The A8 has too many screens imo
even with new models, BMW interiors already look dated
@Κώστας / Kosta matter of opinion... I find BMW the worst of the 3
I would love it if you guys also touched on the sound systems of the cars too. Something that is so often overlooked
A time traveler just confirmed by 2030, all German cars will oy be a grill.
Your review was equally as luxurious as the cars that you both reviewed. Well done!
Sick cars. Top banter. Great video 👍
It’s kinda unfair bcos the Audi has V6 and BMW has V8, would love to see both cars with the V8 version. But overall I’m gonna go with Audi 😉
Shut up woman
amin no I don’t respect women she drives an automatic lol
BMW is best
@@keegen2077 beamer boozo, you shut up, beamers are for queers that cant drive other than in a straight line
Joanne C look just cause you are a woman doesn’t mean you can’t like a good bmw
Love the A8. Doesn't scream money, smooth as ever, and does all the stuff you expect a car to do at that price point. And does it really really well.
The S-CLass is a head turner and has a lot more going on with it. Screams money for sure.
BMW on the other hand is more driver-focused. I mean I'd be confused if I'll want to drive it or be driven. Same for the Jaguar XJL.
As for my taste, the A8 sort of is the sweet spot. I'd buy that.
I don't know what people were thinking 3 years ago but that BMW looks gorgeous. I don't know why they were criticising the grill
What a brilliant review. And also hilariously entertaining. That slide at 4.99 lololol...keep it coming guys. So refreshing. An excellent dynamic duo
This was biased. 7 series might look nice. But that A8 ticks all the boxes.
a8 looks like a4
Tashun Kosapa it doesn’t actually. The grill, the rear, the lights etc are way different
@@raghuveer4552 im a big fan of audi a8 previous generation, but this one...this one is pure shit
its not really about ticking boxes in the luxury department. it's all about the feeling
@@Tashyncho-Sapa 7 series look like X5
The jokes that james makes 🤣🤣 love jamessss 🤛❤️
He beat Max so you better like it or else...
xD
AkarZaephyr No i believe i can beat him with extra 3.1 inches thats all a man needs 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 Right!!
BEFORE YOU CAME IN IT WAS JUST THE VOLUME NOB - LOLLLLLLLLLLLLL oh my god that was perfectly executed i love this channel
Great video, always fun to watch
nice new intro, a nice switch
congratulations on 200k subs :)
keep the videos coming, love watching them!
"There's even a fun mini-game in head up display. I don't know how to play it, but just know that some guy named Max has the high score of 60, and I've already beaten that."
Priceless
I like the 7 series grille. 👌
Mr. Harrison
Rolls Royce is a rebadged bmw
Opinion matter
I love the way you guys found a balance between honesty and humor.
Great episode of Thortle Horse.
My last audi was A8 2013 & I loved it, I changed to a 2015 Bmw 740Li, I enjoyed the Audi interior & seating much better..
Now the new seating in the BMW is amazing & I enjoyed the drive, will continue with BMW 7 series.
7 Series all the way. Love the grill. Love the interior. Love the rear lights. Entertainment screen up high (The correct place). My dream car. In black with blacked out grill.
I actually quite like the grills on the bmw
The earlier models with smaller grills look quite good, but the brand new models have oversized grills, which just looks hideous and completely out of place
@@onelyone6976 until you see it live, it fucking blew my mind, so much road presence, so aggressive.
You're right. So beautiful
They’re not even functional
Gross.
Black on black interiors have a really tough time looking luxurious except when it's in a Rolls Royce. A white or gray color would have reflected the modernity and minimalism inside the A8 very well. The BMW's brown is also gorgeous.
car throttle and throttle house crossover is awsome
You guys need to get a hold of the new Alpina B7.....hands down the best
They're more tacky tho
"Before you came in here there was just the volume knob"😂😂😂
"The United Kingdom of Britain".... god that made me shiver
Finally a car review channel from Canada.. you guys are awesome. Best wishes from NL. 👌🏼
Love your channel, and this is a great comparison set. Both are super cars but should I pick one, I will pick the A8... for styling.
Thank for the video.
End game is the most ambitious cross over ever
**alex appears in Throttle House**
“Before you came in, there was just the volume knob” omg why have I never seen this channel before??? 😂
one this with bmw designs..it grows with time....... the grill looks big now but in like 10 to 15 years to come ..it will make the car look freaking modern
The BMW grill is perfect!
Surprised no comment was made about the Audi media interface and how it’s an absolute dog to use whilst driving.
Test drove an A8 over a weekend and I almost crashed the darn thing whilst trying to adjust the air conditioning and seat cooling.
11:58 "you're massaging me right now!" 12:18 "I'm trying to get it in" What's going on there fellas?
11:56*
Don't forget 12:50 🤣🤣🥴
Now that you guys did these cars, I think you should give the Lexus ls500 a shot in a comparison
The 7 series grill is brilliant. Beautiful
Comparing the 3.0L turbo V6 compared to the BMW twin turbo V8 is a huge advantage. I would have hopped over to Detroit and gotten the 4.0L twin turbo 60TFSI A8L.
Great to see Alex here
19" rims really don't give you much more sidewall as the 255/45-19" tires are 28" tall giving you 4.5 " of sidewall
VS 265/40-20" tires that are 28.5" tall giving you 4.25" of sidewall , so you are only gaining 1/4" of sidewall 6:40
Grand touring tires over ultra high performance tires would make more of a difference in ride comfort
Although there is a huge selection of 19" Grand touring tires, not so muck with the 20"
Although Grand touring tires come in 19" and 20" on this model from the factory
I feel like i'm the only one who thinks that 7 series grill is sick! I totally love it!
😂😂😂 it looks shitty as hell
Alex: Alex from Car throttle
Text: Adam from Coke Bottle
0:18 😂😂😂
Love that BMW. Absolutely love that engine growl. Sublime. The BMW grille would have been better, had they not allowed the headlights to run straight into it.
I'm at a point in life where I felt the need to reward myself and looked at both of these cars. The BMW styling is simply offensive to me. The giant nostrils up front are just punctuation on that last sentence. While I loved the pre-2002 A8s ever since the grille has been less than 50% open to air flow, this year that is even more true. While the A8 interior genuinely appeals to me and the V8 is the "right motor" for that car I passed up the opportunity to choose one.
Instead, I bought Lucid Air. This is what the future of luxury and indulgence feels like. It is quite a bit both quicker and faster than these two as well, while being comfortable, luxurious, and not excessively ornamented. Best of all, 0% fake grilles.
The BMW grill is great.The whole car looks fantastic!
Yeah guys the grill is huge but it gets older already we should stop complaining about it! Great video though!
Love my A8L 4.2 rocking 430HP. they forgot the Audi safety feature. If another vehicle is about to hit you straight on the side. The Audi in real time will automatically lift up 5 inches to help save your life and create less damage. Cool stuff. Mine 121k price tag and paid off! Doesn't hurt being a Paramedic-Firefighter Captain in Los Angeles, ca. $$$$$
Steve Inzalaco good
the understated styling of the a8 is its strong point compared to the s class and the 7 series.
the interior of the a8 is better than the 7 series.
Production value of the vids continues to improve... 👍🏽👍🏽
What motivates me is that if i work hard enough, i can own both of these German machines💪🏾
Think I’ll have the A8 if I was being driven and 7er if I was gonna drive myself. Or S Class cause the seats soothes my back more than the others
"3.1 inches" which is more than any men will ever need 🤣🤣🤣
now I need to see an interaction between Throttle House and the Straight Pipes
I live in Toronto and I don't really see many 7 Series cars on the road. When I do see a 7 Series I see the old E65/66 which surprises me because that model is the most unrealiabke BMW ever made!!
"Alex from Caw Turtle" my guy 😂
4:12 oh no...
48 Volts can power interior and provides 44 pound/feet of torq - no. not volts but watts and not watts but Kilowatts.
Anyways, love these guys.
Keep doing such beautiful content guys, its so great!
BMW has accord shape? 5:15 or did accord copy design from an earlier model?
Americans looking at this like "we drive 22ft trucks"
Not really, I own a 2016 corolla and a 2008 tundra.
@@V8orNoCar its more of the fact that they called a 17ft sedan a limo
We actually call it ridiculous
Honestly I think most Ameircans who no nothing about cars will find these any different than any other car in their respective lineup. All luxury cars look the same in the brands they belong too.
I realize that I'm nit picking here, but neither of these cars are limousines. They are executive sedans. True limos have a divider between the front and passenger compartments.
BMW looks more aggressive ... love it
Yes,oversized grills and fake vents are so cool,....and this is coming from a bmw fan......
KayJblue u know most Audi have fake vents and grills bigger than a beemer
Snake_360 yeah but this specific BMW is much worse than your average Audi
@@KayJblue Each people has their own taste and favourite. Dont force them to follow your taste. In your Eye , Audi is GOD but for many others, Audi is just Nothing . ^^
Each year, they only compare the SALE between MER and BMW to see who get better sale. No one mentions or compares about the SALE Volumn of Audi with the other 2.... This is the point.
For Luxury, people look for Mercedes
For Aggressive Power , People look for BMW (British Police usually use BMW)
So.... Where is Audi position then =]]]
@Snake_360 audi knows how to make a big grill look good
BMW went from kidney grill to buckteeth grill which means that it evolved from a automobile to Freddie Mercury
"That's more than any man needs"😂😂😂😂😂
Ha! The classical music in the background makes this wonderful. I felt like i was IN THE CAR. So relaxing. And I just saved $100,000 by not buying one. (great video guys)

The return of all wheel steering. Nissan, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Honda were all into all wheel steering in the 80s and 90s. Even family sedans like the Capella/626 had it.
I would love the 7 Series, that kidney grill could make it recognizable from the 3 and 5 series. I'd prefer the 750i with that amazing V8!
Yes, I want it to be extra ugly so peasants can see I paid more than them.
@@ZesPak its not ugly in real life and its just your opinion that bmw doesnt care about
This documentary style at the very beginning (music+camera+commenting) was a great fit to limo episode.
Genuine review guys.. Great work
That Audi A8 is the most luxurious ride to the golf course that you could get
this video was so relaxing, it soothed my soul
Fuckin love car reviews with these guys😂😭
Love that intro! Also, who down votes this?!? Do these people hate life too? Plus that BMW grill is hideous beyond measure. It's a non-starter for me if I were in the market for something like this.
I have an '06 750i and it's a fabulous ride.

I love big grill on bmw it makes him even hungrier 😍
That's exactly my opinion about that monster's front nose! That is super HOT😍
In my opinion it just looks terrible.
@@Daxelinho9 No surprise there, because desires are different, Some like it, some not!
you need to test drive that 760 Li... Omg.. the smooth "butteriness" of that v12 makes the v8 feel like a diesel 4 cylinder...

Nope
Mercs didn’t even have a correct gps 10 years ago

Why are you guys making fun of the grill like the bmw is looking so good with it i love it with those big grills😍
That's one of the few Audis I've seen that I would actually consider buying
same this and the new r8
@nohomo not the q2 and q3 sorry but no
Is there a "who makes the biggest grille competition going on"..????
Currently we have a 2016 A8 4.2 tdi V8 and a 2018 M760li. Previously I had the 2016 740Ld. All cars are absolutely brilliant to drive, in comfort plus there isn’t really much to separate them apart from the 760 performance. Performance wise the 740 didn’t feel any slower than the A8 but was more dynamic to drive quickly on UK roads and for everyday driving in town, whereas the A8 just seemed to labour a bit more and required more effort. Diesels are better in town than the 760 due to fuel consumption of
Yesss you sure own These cars hahaah
@@alaaaaaarm2482 well atleast he s an old fart so maybe he does...tired of seeing people my age in their 20's that have all sorts of expensive cars that God only knows how they got since they don t do shit.
I'll be honest, I care nothing about either of these cars but I love the videos you guys do so I watch anyway. That grille is hideous though and at least Audi knows where an infotainment belongs, in the dash not stuck on it like an after thought.
Ill atleast save the cost of a barbecue grill after buying the 7 series. *Which i cant*
Aakash J lol
Does the A8 have the absolutely horrible "touch" screen from the Audi E-tron that won't accept touches, but requires you to actually press it?
