Agreed.....I had to put my ear next to phone hear it

Some men actually like the growl-like sound of diesels.

whoa! whoa! whoa! which guy? r we thinking of the same guy?

Wich guy

The guy in the audi needs to punched in his face and kicked in the groin, he's bad mouthing the vehicle he's supposed to represent even the BMW driver is representing the Audi and he's not driving it. Run him over and get another driver.

😂🤣

@@elmomartinez7868 Guy in BMW ain't much better. He recommends to get V8 n62/n63 which is just tonnes of headache even to BMW enthusiasts.

Well, that's Europe. Most of the world prefers gasoline powered cars, not just America. Stop being snooty.

emdec55 World runs on gasoline because fuel is cheap there and they don't have to care about fuel consumption.

emdec55 because gasoline refineries get favors from the government that diesel refineries don't. So diesel is more expensive than regular gasoline.

Amidat No, not true. Diesel and gasoline all come from the same people. Diesel and gasoline all come from crude oil. It's just not economical for diesel to be the primary fuel used. It's impossible for diesel to be the major fuel because oil produces more gasoline than diesel, it's not because it's supported by government. If anything, diesel gets more favors. Diesel is supported by government tax benefits in many European nations. If more European countries had neutral taxation, diesel would become less popular in Europe.

dave cd yes because Europeans have enough sense to support the vehicles/fuel that will be more efficient.

xCobi not in america

benni co you´re right

benni co Is the M550d 381hp available in america?

lyesm3 No, only 535d (255hp)

benni co 535 should 313 cp :(

The US 535d is actually the same car as the European 530d. The same goes for the 3 series - the US 325d is equivalent to the European 320d.

I know, the EU 530d has 258 hp, not 255 hp, but that difference is small.... How much hp does the US 325d have?

In europe we get the Twin exhaust. Not two pipes on the left.

Yeah, the US 535d is pretty much an EU 530d

Audi a6 is better BMWs break down. Audi A6 is the best choice as far as a car the a8 has the limousine experience but the a6 is what I want

The consistent purring of the diesel engine is music to my ears.

In Europe you would use the 530d to compare with A6 3.0 TDi.

SIMcityplayer2002 That is correct.

a6 has the better awd system??? lol stupid guy,you dont know nothing about xdrive system,go home baby

***** Quattro is simply the world's most refined AWD system. It's not because someone says it, it's because it has won that award for the last 25 years. BMW's X drive is 10 years old, Quattro had been introduced more than 30 years ago, they have WAY more experience. Overall, this is generally known across non-fanboy commenters...

BMW is celebrating 25 years of awd and first BMW with all whell drive was debuted in 1985 -BMW 325xi !!!

The A6 Torsen 4wd is so aged compared to xdrive. Xdrives advantage in short: "The DPC differential features clutch packs on both output sides that are actuated by an electric motor. The clutch pack activates a planetary gearset which causes one wheel to be overdriven. A conventional control system will use the brakes to reduce the speed of the faster-moving wheel (which is the one with less traction) and reduce engine power. This leads to increased brake wear and slower than optimal progress. In contrast, the DPC system speeds up the slower moving wheel (the one with the most traction) in order to maintain stability when needed. For example, while turning, the outer wheel is overdriven to provide greater acceleration, using the traction advantage through the dynamic loading of the outboard wheel in cornering. Meanwhile, in an oversteer situation, the inner wheel is overdriven to regain traction balance." + quattro is not a 4wd system, it's just Audis name for 4wd. they use everything from cheap viscodiffs, Haldex, Torsen and so on depending on model.

BMW XDrive simply sends power to all wheels. Audi Quattro sends power to the wheels which need power in one of the best ways around, at the level of Nissan and Porsche. And the BMW is smaller in the boot and back, everybody else and every other review - plus the spec sheet - says so.

How old were you when you made this comment

That's in Europ, in the USA I think they have a little less power.

Maybe..

mrillyrian88 the US 535d is the same engine as a 530d in Europe. The European 535d is a lot faster.

Mercedes would be dead last lol

Then I'd tell you you're not very smart

J Smith Neither are you.

No need, just wait 5 years later and they will cost less than half the msrp

Rar M Yea lol you can pick up either one for well under $15,000 now, as I am planning on doing.

Europe and America has digferent states of tune

Yeah. A 530d in europe is a 535d in the USA. Don't know why they do this though.

And what is the german 535d in America?

A diesel

not sure, but either it's called 540d, or it doesn't exist there.

Because they know f**k all about cars. That's why they diminished the audi in this video.

i dont want to have it - its yours :-)

@Suryateja GT bmw sucks so bad

Ahmad Abu Sneineh Better interior BMW!

I couldn't take him seriously with that lisp. I like the cars, but can't get into the comparison beyond the wanna be 4 year old talk. He's an adult and needs to control it. Maybe I'm just a dick, although I have my opinion just like everyone else

off of cherry street in toronto

colenbrak Toronto Portlands. Instantly recognized it by the smoke stack in the background.

??.....go buy the chrysler then

they are tuned differently and emission control

535d X-Drive competes with E350 4Matic which isn't even a diesel (in America).

Autoguide isn't American.

***** Where is it from then?

Albert Arrabal AutoGuide reviews cars in the North American market, but they are Canadian, and so are their expectations.

***** Sorry, I didn't know it. I'll mend my comment: "I'm sorry, but after watching this, I realize that american and CANADIAN'S luxury expectations are rubbish LOL"

Albert Arrabal Well, this review doesn't necessarily represent the average Canadian, and their much less likely to represent your average American, but whatever. Just because I'm curious, what makes you think their expectations are "rubbish"?

Thanks for the feedback, we just did a quick check and it looks like the 3.0T gas engine is still available in Europe. It's in a lot of cars here, replacing the old 4.2L V8.

AutoGuide.com Seems you are right about the Audi gas engine, it's still for sale in a variety of places, just not the UK atleast (in the A6 model, it's still for sale in the A7) Apparantly you can't trust in everything you hear on youtube, even if it comes from a car journalist. Still seems odd with the power output of the 35d engine though, if you look at the british or the german BMW site, it's listed at 313 hp, only in the US you get 255 hp :-)

Karsten Pedersen What cheap cars and cheap fuel are you talking about? The US has tougher emissions regulations. Manufactures are forced to use more restrictive emissions controls that detune the engines and increase the cost of owning diesels. That's part of the reason why it's harder to run diesels in the US.

Karsten Pedersen US 535d version is basically European 530d.

JackZakowski US has tougher regulation for just one emission - NOx. All manufacturers are doing is to add urea (AdBlue) injection that increases the cost of ownership by about ... a few bucks per 10000 miles.

Sylvester the Cat

Bit late to the party lol but over there, there MPG is different to ares, if you check online it will convert the difference for you.

But if you want more low down punch and better economy on the motorway, a diesel can be a good alternative
