Cost of ownership

[Trusty]

Audi a6 2.0t

bmw 520/3

 

thinking of upgrading to either of these but i have no idea on these makes. which is more reliable and how is the maintenance like?

 

have driven a 5 before and my memory recalls that it is a drinker...having to top up once every 3 days

the a6 should give less problems in long run reliability wise

just be prepared for oil consumption which can be solved by changing piston rings

i see. changing pistons is considered a major head work. what kinda cost is there?

 

other than the routine servicing and timing belt, what other maintenance should i be expecting?

 

say for eg. a 70k km mileage

 

 

TIA
