BMW vs Audi Reliability - And the Winner IS...

BMW vs Audi Reliability - And the Winner IS...

Should you buy BMW or Audi? Is BMW reliable? Is Audi reliable? Who wins when we compare BMW reliability vs Audi reliability and who is the best German luxury car maker? Well, we're going to walk through the lineups of these two cars and I'll declare a winner in many different segments. Everything from your first BMW and the first issues or problems you might experience, to the top of the BMW luxury line.

I'll do the same thing with Audi's whole lineup, and we'll talk about Audi electrical issues and some other problems you might experience.

It's #BMW vs #Audi #reliability and while we're focused on buying a reliable car today, these are all fun cars that you'll enjoy driving.

Where we believe that Life's Too Short To Drive Boring Cars so we just don't and you shouldn't either.

I own both. I work with Germans. My experience & my German cohorts say Audi has significantly better reliability. Again, I own both & have owned both on & off or like now, own both simultaneously.... I have no bias one to another. My dd is a BMW, I do love the way it drives but it's 10-to-1 bmw issue for every issue that arises with my current Audi or the previous one we had. Just one guys' experience along with relaying what his German friends have for their opinions too.

I have a 2006 A6 Avant that I bought in 2008 as a CPO car. It now has just shy of 300, 000km on it and is still running strong. No big issues, just keeping up with maintenance. The 3.2 is a great motor and replacing the timing belt tensioners is part of the deal with them. Only had to do that once. Uses one liter of oil between 10, 000km oil change intervals and that's about it.

I owned both, Audi is more reliable. I think the reason is they use proven parts from VW so they rarely break and when they do every mechanic knows how to fix them

This is like porn stars vs. rock stars in terms of infidelity.

Mark, you talked alot about BMW engines and their model codes but not at all about Audi. Why? How are you going to make a video detailing reliability about 2 luxury car brands but only really express technical knowledge about one of those brands and not the other? Seemed a little one sided. You didnt talk about the engines in the A4, A3, S4 or A6 you mentioned. Are they 4 cyl turbo? 6cyl supercharged?, 8cyl turbo? which of those are reliable and which arent? Which model years for which engine? We need another video like this one, but detailing technical knowledge of Audi engines and their reliability

I used to own a bmw 3 series. I was going up a steep hill when I heard a loud bang and the head gasket blew. I serviced this car on time and looked after it. I now own a 2020 Toyota Corolla and I have never been happier!! Will never look at German cars again.

BMW vs Audi Reliability - And the Winner IS... TOYOTA!

[AntiheroThailand]

Audi reliability in the 90s- eatly 2000s seems to be lacking.. lately they improved a lot over the past 15 years and bmw seems to drop..

[lowereastsideastrologist]

All of my Audis have been more reliable than my G20 330i. I feel my BMW has designed components to be 'at the limit' - so (especially) lead footed drivers risk early component failure. Also with Audis they respond well to tunes. + I Love the way they float on the road.. Handlings a bit soft though. My next car will be an Audi.

If I'm paying more for a car I expect reliability. All of the leather and chrome in the world doesn't mean anything if I can't actually drive the car. Boring cars? Nothing is more boring than driving a loaner because your car is in the shop.

I own a 2015 A3 Quattro and this car is awesome! I've had to replace the battery and the tires and that's it. Keep up with my maintenance and the car is wonderful. I already know that I will buy another one.

[blessedsalonofhaircarebeau]

I have both. Barely any issues with the Audis over 5yrs but BMW is a cash cow.

[quinty]

Who puts a timing chain at the back of the engine?
BMW- Yes

[phillylady]

“… how about the panel gap? Nothing like the Tesla, that’s for sure” 😂😂

[bghoody]

Even if I were given an Audi or BMW, I couldn't afford to keep it. I'd most likely end up selling it and buying a Toyota lol.

[devonforsure]

98, 100 miles on my 17 Audi S3, serviced haldex and dsg on time or earlier.

Only been through tires an brakes. Getting a carbon cleaning soon.

Only thing I've noticed is some rattles in the cabin on startup

My first Audi was a 2015 Q7 that I bought just out of warranty in 2019. It had some issues...fairly minor, but expensive ($600 rear seatbelt buckle), rear windshield wiper motor, steering fluid leak. We liked the styling but realized we needed a warranty so traded that in and now have 2018 Q5 and S5. Bought extended warranty for both. Audi repair is so expensive that the warranty is necessary. Fingers crossed we have good luck with these cars.

To me a good car is a reliable car. Features are nice. But how do people look down on cars like Toyotas? They are the best selling cars in the world for a reason, they’re amazing cars. They’re what you NEED in a car, these German cars are just what some want in a car. Big big difference.

In the space of 3 days I saw 2 BMW 6 series being towed of the highway. One was a M convertible and the other was a regular 6 series hardtop. I have the 2018 fully loaded X1 and it's the best car I have even purchased. It has 30K Kms now and has not been back to the dealer once for a warranty issue. The engine is also in almost the entire BMW line up including the 4 cylinder Toyota Supra. BMW has gotten much better while everyone I know with an Audi is in the shop at least once or twice a year for a warranty issue.

I own both. My Audi has been a pretty good car, on par with my other VWs which I would rate "ok." My three new BMWs have all been disastrous money sucking crap. Porsche is ranked #32 of 32, the worst cars in the world, but I find it hard to believe their whole fleet required more repairs than my last BMW.
