Fair Fight? 2008 BMW M3 Coupe vs. 2008 Audi S5 Coupe

Video Title :	Fair Fight? 2008 BMW M3 Coupe vs. 2008 Audi S5 Coupe
Description :	http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=125265 Before you start sending us flaming e-mails complaining that a comparison between the 2008 Audi S5 and the 2008 BMW M3 Coupe is an obvious mismatch from the get-go, you should know a few things. Our first full test of the $53,000, all-wheel-drive 2008 Audi S5 was a bit of a revelation. With a 354-horsepower version of Audi's direct-injection 4.2-liter V8 under its hood, the voluptuous Audi S5 ran a 13.3-second quarter-mile at 104 mph, just 0.1 second and 2 mph shy of the 420-hp 2007 Audi RS4 sedan. What's more, the S5's slalom speed is within a couple mph of the harsh-riding RS-spec sedan. "It ran a 13.3? With that kind of speed, who needs a $67,000 RS4?" we asked ourselves.

a lot of people in my family has beemers no problems 1994 bmw 3 series 290 000km 1999 bmw 745i 168 000km 2005 bmw x5 80 000km and no major problems in any if you ever say that if for example toyotas are more reliable then you have to remember that how drive the machine makes the bigger difference .. you wouldn't take corners fast in a toyota but in a beemer you take corners drift burnout stupid things .. its meant for that you know but that also means a bigger chance of breakdowns

Bimmers are good cars. but here is the dark side of bimmers you dont see till you own one. A. try doing ANYTHING at all to the car. anything. I have a black M5 and wanted the paint the brake calipers red, but it would have Void the warranty on the entire car. B. They are very prone to problems... i had an X5 that the back windshield FELL into the back seat at a stop light. Thank god no one else was in the car. C. they're over priced. plain and simple. they over engineer the cars. no need.

i disagree you know why .. because just sitting in a beemer makes the streets feel like the track lol don't get me wrong i love audis but beemers are the best

Audi's are alot more liveable. BMW makes better track cars, but Audi's quatro drive system, the live interface, and overall feel trump the every day aspect of BMW. If i lived at a track, id want an M3. But who lives at a track?

i don't know for me beemers look better and plus theyre more fun to drive but yeah audis are more comfortable like you said

i have a 2002 m3. love that car and the way it handles. long time bmw fan. i love both bmw and audi. but i wanna get the s5 now... ;D

I want to get both.

WRONG. Audi's are Nicer. BMW's are Faster. I own an S8 and an M5. I would know. The Bimmer is fast as shit, but no where near as nice or comfortable as the S8.

M3 is more cooked for the track while the S5 eats the street pavement better. If taking them to the track, I would kill for the M3.

explanation?
