      BMW would be super sick if they provide spare parts for the Dodge Viper community and help revive the Dodge Viper brand. Viper spare parts are super expensive nowadays and BMW could make its sick presence felt if it makes Viper parts to lower the prices of those spare parts. BMW has the best R&D production facilities anyway and Dodge itself got broke with the Viper... Bad boy BMW.
      Sigh...
      Sick.

    My daily driver is a 2014 Audi S4 and I absolutely love it! Perfect blend of performance and luxury, and practicality with quattro AWD. I think in the last decade Audi has left the others behind in terms of interior design and quality. And with many great performance options and highly rated dependability, to me it's the best German luxury brand out there. I also recently bought a 2017 Porsche 911 and it's easily the most fun to drive car I've ever had and also very good quality and reliability. German cars for the win!

    Excellent video and you are completely right about your assessments. For Audi, the Audi100 introduced in 1991 was the key turning point to start seriously competing with the likes of BMW and MB. It still took another 14-15 years (atleast in Finland), think of C4, when people started to realise that they offer cars that are atleast as good, if not better, than the competition. These brands are so similar that nowadays, it basically comes down to technology (which manufacturer comes out with a new model).
    However, one aspect where Audi still has a lot of catching up to do, is their after sales experience. For instance, according to surveys, Volvo offers a much better customer experience in maintenance (they even give you a spare car while your car is maintained or repaired). For some reason, even though Audis are highly reliable (closer to Lexus than BMW) their spare parts are very expensive atleast in Finland, and in Georgia where I now live.

  • @monocuco818

    I'm not so sure about this video... Audi is still a front heavy understeerer because the engine is out beyond the front axle so they aren't nearly as sporty as BMW and Mercedes... although Audi does have its major strengths. BMW lost their driving dynamic mojo but they still are a more athletic machine than an Audi. The new m340i xdrive has 50/50 weight distribution and it does the rear biased all wheel drive thing very well. And the Mercedes with their glorious sounding exhausts out of those AMG motors, and they have the best looking interior out of the bunch when optioned correctly.

      @@svroadster1130 I definitely am biased, but I still see the same pattern. Audi is probably the most reliable and has a little better all wheel drive as far as safe driving goes. Their engines are out ahead of the front axle which is why they don't handle as well as they could on a track, but they are incredible under normal and sporty driving, I loved driving the new S4 (very confidence inspiring) but I didn't track it.
      BMW definitely lost their mojo over the last 6 years... excepting only the M3/M4 and the 2 series. They have always had amazing engines. But with their new generation of vehicles, they are doing a MUCH better job! I drove the 340i and I liked the S4 much more, but then I drove the new M340i and it is even better than the S4. And you can't beat their Xdrive that feels like RWD.
      I still cannot get over the sound of mercedes though. The C43 amg sounds so amazing! They are definitely the least reliable but that sound is intoxicating! The m performance exhaust on the m340i is quite amazing as well, just heard it about two weeks ago and was impressed, but overall I think mercedes still has the better interior design and exhaust sound.
      I would love having any of the new Audi's, BMW's or Mercedes... as long as they aren't the front drive platform models lol.

      All 3 have great cars. I like Audi’s and don’t really notice the understeer since I’m not throwing my car into corners on my daily commute. For me a car should provide the best balanced experience since we spend a huge chunk of our lives inside of them and for me Audi wins. For pure performance I do concede BMW is the winner and the AMGs sound like a dream.

      Reynaldo Perez you have nothing to explain why it’s a terrible engine. if anything it’s one of the best. Fit perfectly for its chassis, yeah first production year was a little rough but they still get much love, all the years after we’re updated with little things to keep them modern but yet still a classic, and the S65/S85 won so many engine awards. Categorize “terrible”, in reliability or performance? Because in both it wins, I own one and had no problems with it except for stuff I expected to go out when the parts need replacement, such as the throttle bodies and idle control valve, which was covered by warranty. If your on a warranty with this engine you will be okay, S85 engines were higher performance and didn’t get as much warranty benefits, and you were more likely to have a problem with that than the S65 which hardly breaks. I have 85K on it and plan on putting more on. My bearings show little to no wear and I’m on stock bearings. Don’t believe the myths you hear on forum sights.

    I had a JerezB 2011 6mt e90 M3 and it was awesome fun to drive. The s65 engine just feels great to drive. It's a smooth, rev happy v8 and I loved it. It was not as fast in 6mt form as I feel it should have been, but it sounded great and looked like the Bat Mobile. Now I lease a 2018 6mt M2 and it has excellent driving dynamics. It is moderately lighter and faster than the M3 and it is so nimble. I'm not a fan of turbo power delivery(because it can be unpredictable), but the M division does a great job of making it feel more natural. The n55 in that car is so smooth and powerful, it is a delight to drive. I also own a 2008 audi s4 auto which is a nice, comfy DD. I love BMW for the 6mt rear wheel drive, enthusiast experience. Mercedes does not produce manual trans cars and thus I have never owned, nor driven a Mercedes because they dont do 6mt and I feel like that brand is too fancy for me.

    I love the underdog history and mentality the in Audi. When they were imagewise the most behind Merc and BMW, the build propably even better cars in terms of reliability (middle 80 to middle 90). So, when things get a bit worse the brand image isn't as much as damaged as for the other 2. And for people, who growing up driving VW like most people the Audi doesn't feel too snobby, but a natural step upwards. Yes, I like that they are VAG. And I like the plainer bank manager image too they had.
