Bmw vs Audi

[03ozwhip]

All I can say is, I love my BMWs, but sometimes like the look and interior more in the audi, just not enough to buy one.

Be aware that neither come with working signal lights.

No word of a lie, both rear signals on my BMW have intermittent issues. And the lights have already been replaced once

[msommers]

Faulty signal lights are 1% of the problem. The remaining 99% is driver laziness.

The Tiquan and SQ5 fit in a duplex sized 20x20 garage if that helps.

I'm sure this thread ends in a couple of pages where he'll buy @Cos 's E550.

I have fixed and or changed every exterior bulb in my 335 lol rear tails do seem to do intermittent wire burning, found that interesting lol

[Tik-Tok]

They cheapest out on the wiring because they knew the owners would never notice.

19 feet 2 inches wide and 20ft deep over hear. I had to compromise due to land coverage issues with power lines.. I won't be parking in the garage anyways, giving the space for my mom's juke and wife's tbd vehicle. She has an x3 now

I'm parking on the street so I hope both the bmw or Audi start ok in the dead of winter or both will allow for an automatic starter

For close to your budget you could go with an Audi SQ5... Small SUV but fast as fuck for a small SUV. Way more room for the kid and all the shit that you have to pack with them. Win win!

I will need space for a car seat now.?

Also what stroller are you packing?

[riander5]

You're picking a few of the most unreliable cars possible. Godspeed

Edit: Could probably get an X3m40 instead of an sq5. But you seem determined to get an exploding audi

Gotta go a year or two newer and get a BMW 340 w/ B58. No other engines will touch it for speed and reliability. I've said it before, but TOYOTA uses it in the Supra. That should tell you enough that it's a great engine.

No you don't, the cross over year from N55 to B58 was 2015 so the 2016+ MY BMW 340i's will all have the B58, granted there are like four different iterations of the B58, but it will still be a B58.

OP, from your list I would hands down be going with the 340i w/ B58. After owning a 335i with the N54 I vowed to never buy another BMW again, then I did some reading on the B58 and just how good it actually is, picked up my 340i 2.5 years ago and have been very impressed. Enough so to buy another B58 powered car

I just recently sold mine but during the time I had it, it was faultless.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

2017+ for the 2 series, 2016+ for the 3 series, 2018+ for the X3 and 2019+ for the X5 in terms of BXX motors for OP.

I'm new to this as it's my first child but wifey wants an uppababy which folds up nicely but apparently the travel one is super compact and works just as well.

I'd love the 340i but I think it's out of my price range. I've never owned a BMW so I'm not familiar with them. I've read great things about the b58

Just keep in mind that with the F30 generation the 335i only went up to 2015, 2016+ was renamed to the 340i to coincide with the change from the N55 to the B58.

[jabjab]

Just looking at prices of 340i I don't think it's wise to stretch the budget. N55 or Audi A4 looks to be a toss up now.

[msommers]

German? Out of warranty? Budget? Reliable?

[killramos]

The A4 isn’t a toss up in any minds but yours, it’s definitively the inferior choice.
