Hmmm both are tiptop cars, but the 5er is full second faster, has better fuel economy and cost barely more.

Too bad we don't get these models here... only the lower end 6 cylinder versions.

Even so, from those pictures I would choose the less awkward looking Audi Avant.

Well the bimmer is superiour when it comes to performance and driving pleasure and looks better IMO, but I would take the Audi now cause it's winter.

BMW only won due to insurance costs so Audi is the real winner.

PS. Payback time for BMW fans who say the same everytime an Audi wins due to financial reasons.

But BMW in terms of performance and driving pleasure. Bigger engine and better handling, that's what the video said. Plus it's only a grand or so more than the Audi. So to me, it's obviously not just the insurance.

However, having said that, Audi are the kings of station wagons. If you were serious about getting a wagon, Audi is the way to go because they have a ton of storage space. Well those were the days when the E39 were still around. I think it's still like that.

I was only joking. The two cars are equal. You can't go wrong with any of them. I bet even you would love to have an A6 Avant as i would like a 5 Touring.
