2012 Audi A6 versus BMW 535i review: And the best luxury sedan is…

( ) The new BMW 535i has almost always been the benchmark for all other mid-sized luxury sedans. But for 2012 the all new Audi A6 is taking direct aim at the BMW buyer as well as the 535i. The Audi brings to the table a 310 HP supercharged powerplant, an 8 speed automatic transmission and of course Quattro all-wheel-drive. But to not to be outdone the BMW has all of the same stuff but instead of a supercharged engine it comes with a turbo. So which one is the better car?

    @thestoryteller612 Absolutely FACT that this 5 series looks like 3 series. It’s exactley what I told all my friends.

    The problem is that there are too many BMW fans that cannot accept a bad review – even when is the case.

    Stay open-minded. I like the “german steel trio” Audi-Mercedes-BMW and I am not a fan of either. I would not buy this 5 series, unfortunately. It looks like a 3 in a bad way, while the 2012 3 series looks amazing!

    BMW all the way

    @constv1 It sounds like you would enjoy the new Lexus GS F-sport, its slalom times are unreal and kills both the A6 and 5 series. Yes I’m talking about a Lexus.

    @romanmicagearguy Fair enough. I guess it does depend on what people expect and appreciate in a car. For me, the criteria are: 1) precise delicate handling/steering; 2) Good acceleration; 3) the comfort of the snug seats; 4) Smart and elegant dashboard layout. A6 seems to accelerate just a bit faster, and it is CHEAPER. On all other points (important to me and listed above) the BMW is head and shoulders above A6.

    @IPGAuto – you do realize that BMW’s are NOT more reliable than Audi’s right?  you are still living in 1991… it’s 2011

    I like and respect both cars

  7. By: hazemvirus

    started the car and put it in reverse then say wth his mate did? im sorry but these two are nothing but idiots

    @rowsdower12 I go on Ebay and peruse thrift stores in Denver and Los Angeles. Loved the G8 and I’m glad GM is going to use the platform for a new police cruiser. Thanks for watching!

  9. By: joust671

    Don’t like the new Bmw’s liked the 90′s and before Beemers. So I’d pick the Audi in this one, just to try something different.

  10. By: rowsdower12

    @NathanDAdlen Awesome! Where do you get these T-shirts? I’m a fan of Pontiac, especially back in the day and of course the Australian made G8. I wouldn’t mind that shirt. Thanks for the awesome reviews, entertaining.

  11. By: Hratiiv

    Both are excellent in their class…but personaly,i would buy an A6…

  12. By: drotisimo

    the bmw can destroy the audi on track… also the audi looks like the old a6…
    the bmw doesnt have that turbolag so please if you dont know about cars dont try to review them

  13. By: IPGAuto

    @Amidat – Hahah 1991 was even worse for Audi. Audi almost went out of business because of fires and unreliability. Both Mercedes and BMW rank above GM in reliability. Land Rover is last, Jaguar is 2nd from last, than Audi/VW is 3rd from last, followed up by Chrysler, GM, Mercedes/BMW, Ford.. so on.

  14. By: thestoryteller612

    @AlexandruAsk “and it’s just a matter of taste.” that’s true. but everything else… O M G!

  15. By: rowsdower12

    Daewoo still exists, just not in the U.S. anymore. So Nathan is cool for representing. I think its pretty funny. Good for him. He needs to get a Isuzu shirt next.

    The AUDI runs 4 Rings around the BMW!

  17. By: UltraFighter18

    @constv1 when it comes to interior and comfort bmw simply isn’t better than audi. That’s a fact. Handling is the only advantage bmw has over audi an it’s losing it fast.

  18. By: golfmaniac007

    this review is so audi biased. no way does the BMW get shut out in a comparison test.

  19. By: swunt10

    non of those guys know how to adjust a headrest?

  20. By: Amidat

    @andreivisan – Audi was the car manufacturer that introduced successful AWD in rallying… Subaru and Mitsubishi came after…. but yes… Audi sedans are not meant to be rally cars anymore like the EVO.

  21. By: alfredlungu43

    @carlitod87 It is a luxury car! Where in the world do you want to rush off to in a luxury car? Get the M5 if you want track performance. Simple.

  22. By: Illmatic662

    @carlitod87 I think the Infiniti M is also another great alternative to the BMW. Love the new M56S …….A real beast. Well I might be biased because I am an M owner =D

  23. By: constv1

    Test-drove an A6 3.0T Quattro yesterday after viewing this. I honestly expected to be impressed by the A6 performance. I drove my 2003 530i to the dealership and I could compare the two. HONESTLY, I was astonished by the difference! While, indeed, boasting powerful acceleration, w/its wobbly steering wheel the A6 doesn’t even begin to come near my 8-year-old 530i in handling! A6 is NOT in the same class with the 5 BMW, and any attempt to compare the two is dishonest!

  24. By: jmam91

    @constv1 you are obviously a BMW fan boy, so enough with the bias comments please.

  25. By: NathanDAdlen

    @rowsdower12 Thanks man! FYI, I have Pontiac, Daihatsu, Yugo, Plymouth and several others. Only car companies that are defunct or no longer in the U.S. Thanks for watching!

    @romanmicagearguy audi is better. true story

  27. By: Amidat

    one thing i disagree with in this review is that both Audi and BMW make all of their sedans to look alike… so that is a moot point when comparing the two. Will definitely say the new 5 looks better than the last one… looks more like an evolution of the generation before (E39 i think)

  28. By: aaronpunky1993

    @fedorvanmegen have you weighed the cars yourself?

  29. By: Amidat

    @IPGAuto – that was my point – in 1991 they were unreliable… but BMW’s are NOT more reliable than Audi’s now… not in the US and not in Europe. I’m sorry – but you are off. If you don’t believe… ask any independent mechanic who works on all German cars. No German cars except for Porsche’s are actually very reliable (because they don’t make many). They are all complex and high performing…. and unless you can afford the upkeep will be expensive.

  30. By: Amidat

    @andreivisan – oh … and you talk about being in Europe… but Audi actually outsells BMW in Europe… you realize that right?

  31. By: rowsdower12

    @NathanDAdlen THey should re-incarnate the G8 as the next Impala to compete with the 300C. Beautiful, big, but sporty RWD American flagship sedan for Chevy. Chevy needs it. Sure the Malibu is kinda there but its not supposed to be the flagship. I know they will get a new Impala but its a little ways off.

  32. By: thestoryteller612

    @AlexandruAsk AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! DUDE! 2012 3 looks like 5 series, because nobody makes a big car to look like a small one! secondly, the 5 series came out >first< so it can’t possibly look like a model that desing on it’s basis = 3 series looks like 5 series.
    and if they are so similiar, what’s all audi’s like? they are all the same <- FACT
    i hate american reviews, because they suck, enormously! but, it’s my mistake for even clicking on this video… :(

    @romanmicagearguy I can’t believe how unprofessional you guys are! :(

    @spector177 Ever heard of a turbo lag?

  35. By: douwex

    what a amatures!!! a6 is getting more crispy but the feel off the bmw5 is still not matched. beamers are better build and last longer than audies. just go for a test drive in both of them. ps a beamer all wheel drive is no beamer. audi has done a great job though!

  36. By: seanzal

    Audi Reliability is back on top of the list of late, certainly in the UK! As to this test and many other similar tests which are posted on youtube The AUDI A6 always comes out as the better car than its main rivals BMW & Merc. Audi are serious and their cars are just getting better and better!

    BMW quailty is the most Rubbish one, I know every mechanic service shop in my city

  38. By: AlexandruAsk

    @thestoryteller612 Dude, you are being brainwashed! BMW is no better than Audi or Mercedes. In fact, they are basically just as good overall and it’s just a matter of taste.

    The new 5 series looks smaller than it is, therefore compared to the 3 series – while the A6 looks bigger, therefore compared to the A8. That’s what they mean.

    With 60,000 euros in your poket go and test drive both cars. Go home with the one that suits you best. Simple as that!

  39. By: romanmicagearguy

    @constv1 I was really impressed by the BMW’s steering and handling, but you can’t argue with physics and the BMW is just sooooo much heavier. Keep in mind that I’ve owned an M3 and a 525ix so I’m very familiar with both the car and the brand. We’re not cheer leading for either BMW or Audi, but in this case the Audi is the better car in our opinion based on the criteria we established.

  40. By: carlitod87

    While i truly do not like this comparison, they are right. The new 5 series has been bashed by all major magazines for not being up to par with the competition. Road & Track and Motortrend said the same thing, at the end of the day it is just to heavy. Even the 550i with 400hp does the 1/4 in 13.2, weight kills!!

  41. By: constv1

    @romanmicagearguy I certainly have test-driven a 2012 535i xDrive – on the same day. I agree, it is less sporty (the steering is softer) than the earlier 5-series models. But, come on, seriously, still no comparison! I intentionally say nothing about the exterior/interior design and dashboard layouts: it may be a matter of taste. But steering and handling – that what matters. A6 doesn’t come close. I mean, honestly, based on your review was prepared to be impressed. And I was disappointed.

  42. By: jswfl09

    @rowsdower12 It’s not annoying and is laid out quite well but I can see how some of the less-intelligent drivers out there (or old ones) wouldn’t be able to handle it. Then again, if one takes the time to press a few buttons there are built-in manuals and help sections which break down everything to the user.

  43. By: romanmicagearguy

    @constv1 That’s why we didn’t compare the 2012 Audi to a 2003 530i but instead a 2012 535i. Why don’t you try test driving the 2012 BWM and than make a comment. Just saying…

  44. By: Socks170

    Wait, do you rent these cars? buy them or are you sponsored? what lol.

  45. By: juukame

    i really didn’t like the look of the new 5 series, but slowly it’s starting to grow on me, especially the new M5. The headlights on the A6 remind me a little too much of what you see on a mitsubishi

  46. By: crazyspeedrida

    @stigmanful screw you, audi is the best, bmw gets down on their knees for them, not trying to be mean.

  47. By: shyboy2cute

    drag race fail…. re shoot the show get your self a legit runway this time and dont be so cheap as like Nathan with the daewoo shirt

  48. By: fedorvanmegen

    400 pounds lighter than the bmw ??????? WTF

  49. By: 44Bigs

    I know you americans don’t like diesels but you should really try the 535d, it has an amazing engine that behaves much better than the one in the 535i.

    @jswfl09 I can’t find what you’re responding too. Maybe you meant to respond to someone else???
