More dragy video’s coming. Might do a couple on IGTV as well. Give me a follow on insta @calvinscardiary and check out my cars to let me know what dragy races you wanna see next www.binca.co.uk 👍

I applaud the use of 30 - 70 times, a far more meaningful expression of usability which is sadly ignored nowadays.

In the olden days . . . 30 - 70 was the most often quoted time in reviews. It's far more meaningful than 0 - 60, so it's nice to find someone using it again.

9:05 is what you’re here for....

Having driven both I'd say the Beemer engine is far more superior. The power delivery feels a lot more satisfying and stronger

I bought my manual E92 (coupe) 330d as a stop gap after my E36 M3 was stollen nearly 3 years ago. Still got it!!! Hands down one of the best cars i've owned. It did turn out a previous owner had had it mapped so it's a fair bit quicker than stock. In day to day driving it's faster than the M3 was because of the torque and returns 40+mpg. Whats not to like? Not driven a diesel audi but have driven a V6 petrol which left me cold, FWD 😔

The bmw still looks fresh today

Not a Fair race to be fair. The drop top 3 series is 250kg heavier than the E92 coupe

If Bmw wasn’t a convertible it would have won

Wouldn't it have been fairer to for the bmw 330d to rival the 3 ltr v6 tdi 245bhp?. I didnt even realise they done a 3 litre diesel on a 13 plate with only 200bhp.

The audi is a facelift and the bmw is prefacelift. Not a fair comparison at all

The Audi is 5 years newer as well as being lighter

Would you recommended me buying a 96Kmileage 2010 3.0 TDI S Line A5 with a step tronic gearbox?

I remember the x reg bmw 330d 180 bhp 0 to 60 in about 7.6 seconds with a manuel gear box. The mid range torque in 3rd and 4th gear was immense.

I have a 07 3.0 tdi a5 coupe 240hp, stage 1.5 now, about 350 hp and its freaking quick

Im loving these VS video's calvin... something different mate 👍👍 please keep them coming

I have a 330cd e46 running 307bhp and 460ftbls. There awesome cars with the right mods!

The 330D saloon weighs about 300kg less and is unsurprisingly quite a lot faster as you can easily lose over a second from the 0-60 time. A simple remap can knock a couple of seconds from the 1/4 mile time which in the real world makes them bloody fast as in Golf R fast and quicker in gear due to 50% more torque.

Do a 335d test. My remapped 335d does 0-60 in 4.3 seconds. Very rapid cars considering it’s a diesel!

IMO it's also difficult to make comparison's on second hand vehicles as you don't know how well they have been maintained or looked after. Especially Diesel's. Good video though Calvin well done mate. Like your style of videos!! 👍

"more traction but less top end power" would have sufficed

I'm yet to find a 10 year old Audi without an engine management light on.

Need to get hold of a 250hp 3.0 a5 and a coupe 330d !! Proppaaaa test 👍

Isn't the 3.0 litre audi a5 240bhp

Next new car guess- F90 Bmw M5 Competition pack with Evolve automotive tuning stage 3

Isn't torque more important than horsepower within certain limits? and at what speeds you get the torque

Plan what you want to say before hand.

Had the Bimmer been a year or two newer, it would've had the 245bhp engine.

The A5 also has 230 BHP guys.

This is the A5 204hp version! Please correct the video with the 240hp version.

Loving these VS vids👍

Audi a5 3.0TDI is always Quattro and for what i know it that the a5 3.0tdi has 239HP not 201

Love these drag races something different.

That BMW is STILL a striking and stunning car

Try a e92, or the quattro A5 which has more power.

Bmw all the way

Which would you say between the f30 330d and then that same a5 sport back 3.0tdi b8.5

that a5 is the shitty one with the multitronic cvt gearbox, the other ones with the s tronic/tiptronic gearbox are a good 1.5 seconds quicker in 0-60 and also have a 4 wheel drive as opposed to fwd

The e93 is quite heavy and the previous generation engine whereas the Audi is newer and lighter

Can you drag race a BMW 330ci e46

I think is something wrong with the bmw that 0-60 isn’t very impressive or is because of the weight im not sure but my e92 330d used to do a 0-60 in 6.1s before it has been remmaped

Makes sense as the horsepower is more top end speed where weight doesn't factor too much as it does off the line for example. So the higher powered BMW went quicker top end. Plus the BMW has probably lost a few ponies.

Beemer , Merk , Audi , which one would you say has the best build quality ? and the one that throws up the LEAST issues ? Calvin

That bimmer sounds bloody good for a diesel

Bit of a non starter right from the off... A) the BMW is convertible adding 250kg to the standard e92 making your BHP to weight ratio a compleat joke. B) the BMW is 5 years older than the A5 there for 5 years of HP reduction through age All in all a complete wast of time, congratulations 👍

Suprised the Golf GTI is faster than both of these ngl..but not as suprised as I was when the S1 did the 1/8 mile faster than the 440i

Could possibly show the torque figures in future

Can you redo this test in either the coupe or saloon ? I’m confident the bm pull faster because I own the same car and the timing is faster than that 😂 great content though 🤘🏻💯

Calvin, update on the RS6 ? progress video ;-) ?

I really like the way you come across on screen, you should be on top gear or something better than that cos I would rather see this channel than the pretty lame top gear I only saw one time since Clarkson and friends left. I have been involved in the modified German car scene for over 20 years and you have given a fair evaluation of both models here, just to add to what you have already said, the best production all wheel drive system in the world is the genuine quattro version, not to be confused with the Haldex system on the small vag cars like the golf and a1 and a3, which is still a good system just not permanent 4wd. So if you had a 335d and the higher power a5 3.0 tdi you would have a better match with the 335d being more powerful and the audi will have a lot more traction with the quattro set up. This gives the a5 a much harder launch than the bmw, but the 335d will reel it in after the first 2 gear changes. The choice between the two is a difficult one, the audi is a better car for daily usage with more comfort and less noise, arguably the better looking and more reliable, and the bmw is a more responsive, more precise handling car, feeling more like a performance car than the smooth comfort based audi, which for me is a bit hard over bumps but a nicer place to be inside. I've had a few models of both of these from the m3 to the rs5 and the bmw is the most involving car to drive and it's the one that makes you smile, the audi feels like a luxury car with the whole image of it yet its a numb feeling when compared to the bmw. If you like driving in a feeling what the car is doing then you need the bmw, if you want a quick comfortable well built reliable car you can depend on, and you don't need to feel like a racing driver then get the audi and you will be more than happy

I like watching affordable cars. I'm thinking of buying a used BMW or Audi, can you make a vid to what YOU prefer and why...?

Bloodyhell That bimmer is heavy

Bro.. this is a completely unfair test. The BMW is a vert and therefore will be much heavier than a coupe. Secondly, you used the prefacelift 330d from 2008. You should have compared it with the LCI 330d which is noticeably more powerful

Audi's are so clean but we're being mistreated by audi UK because my friends in europe say their interiors come in so many different colours and were stuck with black ive always wanted tan colour seats 😮

No need to explain Calvin ,I always look down at my dong after a drag race #CheckingThePackage😂

Hi Calv , don’t know if I missed it but could you post the current mileages too pls ?

Careful lady owner, never raced or rallied lol

Thanks for video mate. If is possible next time we'd like to see 335i coupe vs 3.0td quattro audi challenge face to face cam. My question is which one of those you prefer for yourself all round? Anyway good staff. Regards

Im sorry but the Audi is not a front wheel drive, it's all wheel ( Quattro )

The cars being the same age is important. However great video. Remember over time ponies escape. Keep up the great work.

What app did you use to test this I've been looking for a decent app for ages.

Fifth gear did the S5 v 335i and the 335i just won. I have an A5 running enough power to embarrass as S5 and I'd rather have a 335i., Just for driver engagement. A5s are boring and mine is one of the better ones

Them a5s with quattro has the same 0-60 as the s5

Im thinking to buy a remapped 325d e92 or an a5 3.0 tdi quattro which one you think its better?

right so basically the audi is a fraction quicker and looks a shit load better but the beemer is a more engaging steer - take your pick lol

You sure about the weight of the e92?

.mate Calvin keep up with the good work bro.

A BMW FreeFirty dee and a Free liter Audi

Have u heard the a5 tdi straight piped sounds like an r32 straight piped

The A5 3.0 Quattro with 250bhp would wipe the floor with 330d.

Calvin bro looks into a honda nsx . I Have been watching your KZfaq channel for a while. I'm your fan

245 bhp? a 2013 A5?

I guess the 330d coupe highline must be faster than the std 330d. Mine does 0 - 60 faster than that

201bhp??? My A5 3.0 has 245 stock? try useing one with a better engine

Golf GTI vs GTD

basically took the worst version of the e9x 330d you could take. pre-LCI, coupe for extra weight, no xdrive.

Calvin what's going on with the RS6?

BMW has higher HP but lower TQ. Audi has lower HP but higher TQ. So the Audi will get the bimmer on the jump, but the bimmer takes it on the long straight.

It is probably the Audi A4 that is the equivalent of the BMW 3 Series, not the Audi A5

A5 is 239bph not 201bph

Nice one Calvin 👍

Bmw weights way too much isn't it? 6.9s is kinda slow for 330d, I had same year 320d remap 7.1s. I have a feeling that audi might take the win

This is the kinda opportunist who you never trust.

A6 3.0 litre vs e350, popular family cars next

the conertibel weights 1800kg. next time get the sedan or the Coupe.

bmw diesel have more power at the end where the audi uses most of the power quite early and it dies towards red line

201bhp??? i thought they were 240? strange.

The 1/8th mile time for the audi must be wrong . If its quicker to 70 it must be quicker 1/8th mile you didnt go much over 70 ...

I swear the Audi had like 235-240 bhp

Does anybody know what style are those wheels on the BMW?

I have the 330d 2007 saloon and that is around 200 kgs lighter than the convertible it would of won if it wasnt the convertable

What about a mk2 Octavia vrs against something.?

I was expecting them to be quicker

This guy needs to practice a lot more, how to make a KZfaq video...

Brilliant brilliant content pal. Genuinely. Editing is on point. Keep it going

Bmw 318d vs Audi A3 1.9 tdi

Why use a convertible? That's ridiculous!🙄

Speak properly and stop comparing cars that are 5 years apart

Yo Calvin, brilliant video mate! It's the guy from Germany again :) Just wanted to know if we will ever get any Germany content ? Mabye an Autobahn top speed run or something ? Quality content bro! Getting better every day 🤘🏻

funny how the audi is 4-5 years younger than the bmw....
