Steptronic Supercharged June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 Narrowed down my options to a 5 series or an A6. Which one is better? Or any recommendation? No Mercs pls cos not getting that. My vote is for 5 series. Real sporty drive. I do not have much idea about A6. Audi was not in my list from the beginning. I considered between Jag and 523! Test drive and see...

ER-3682 Twincharged June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 I will buy the BMW for sure,R.W.D. is much better to drive...also lower road tax. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag is just next to Lexus in reliability as per recent survey. Till last week it went for 219k! Sorry to distract you! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Hypersonic June 29, 2012 Author Share June 29, 2012 guess its the drive that makes the decision. A6 no turbo?? Have turbo. If want even more power have to go for the 3.0 Not going to that extreme though. Just need the car for everyday drive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastfive1 5th Gear June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 BMW. It's RWD! It has more power and torque. It's faster than the A6 from 0-100km/h The bmw has a turbo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to distract you! Yes, Jag was one of my options initially but heard a some friends who had problems with it even when the car is relatively new. So a bit afraid to get it.

Theoldjaffa Hypersonic June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 (edited) my vote goes to the 528 due to the more powerful engine and nicer looks. A6 doesn't look executive enough to me. for me my choice if cars if I were to choose among the 3 germans, junior exec = A4 exec = 5er luxury = S class but my real choices will be junior 159 Exec XF luxury Panamera Edited June 29, 2012 by Theoldjaffa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer 4th Gear June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 BMW for sure. To pass on mercs is a right move. I'll only consider s class Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vid Hypersonic June 29, 2012 Author Share June 29, 2012 BMW for sure. To pass on mercs is a right move. I'll only consider s class Looks like almost everyone's choice is BMW. Now seems likely will get it S Class is too extravagant to drive around everyday. Maybe if I'm over 40, will consider that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyname Neutral Newbie June 29, 2012 Share June 29, 2012 From the video and you are already going for a 2.8, 3.0T is academic tax wise. Wonder what the price difference is between Audi 3.0T and the 528? However I would advise you get the quick steering rack for the 528, it's makes life easier in city driving for the size of the car. The 2.0 Litre trbo engine in the 528 has a tax advantage but sounds a little tinny. Whatever you do do not wind down the windows when accelerating definitely not typical BMW soundtrack. The handling and consumption beats the A6, the latter has too much of an engine overhang. Have fun ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
