Facit: 5er directer steering and nicer sound. A breath of more Agilitaet and that impressive engine of the BMW bring it here forward.

I know that it doesn't have two very angry boys under the hood to push him a little bit harder:cool::D, but to my knowledge every I6 3.0L engine is limited at 250 km/h... Ok, here we're talking about "T" version, maybe that explains it... If that's so, then i didn't know for that...:t-hands:

Big fan of the 320d. Economical but very decent performance. Surprised about the 1er vs A3 though... I never thought the 116i would ever win anything

The old but still sharp M3 is not really able to compete with furious RS4. Audi's V8-bomb is not only more powerful & faster but also more agile & dynamic. But new V8 M3 is about to come ...

The combination of DSG & quattro is a reason for TT's victory over Z4 with automatic gearbox & RWD. If the test cars had manual gearbox, the result would be different.

3er-Coupe shows who is better athlete in this duel. Chassis & engine bring perfect & thrilling dynamism. Yes, S4 is fast as well - its powerful engine is a masterpiece - but it fails to be a true performance car due weak whole package. Sporty winner: BMW - for 10.000 Euro less!

Better trunk space & better warranty are not categories we are important in this duel. All it counts here is a Sports spirit. There is no other such uncompromising & brutal performance sedan in the world like M5. S6 has no chances against M5.

Despite a difference in price between X5 & Q7 is in a range of a basis VW Golf, X5 is sportier choice. In categories Engine, chassis & handling X5 feels so much more aggressive & more dynamic.

Final result:

Audi vs. BMW

3 : 6

Thanks Eni for the rest of the tests. The M3 really got destroyed but I expected it from the mighty RS4. 335i was no surprise really and Q7 is just too big to compete with the X5.

I'm really curious to know how the Z4 would have done with the new Steptronic.

too bad it wasnt Rs4 Sedan vs M3 Coupe. M3 Cabrio has never impressed me. the true M3 is a coupe.

Was this the brand new X5?

4.8is, therefore old.

Even if it was the Coupe, it would still have lost.
