@constv1 I was really impressed by the BMW's steering and handling, but you can't argue with physics and the BMW is just sooooo much heavier. Keep in mind that I've owned an M3 and a 525ix so I'm very familiar with both the car and the brand. We're not cheer leading for either BMW or Audi, but in this case the Audi is the better car in our opinion based on the criteria we established.

You guys did it wrong. The BMW has this thing where, when your stopped, the engine goes into idle mode to save gas. If you look below the start button there is a tiny button which turns this off. When it is off the engine is ready to go. My dad just bought a 535 so I know.

The Audi isn't even considered a competitor to the BMW in Europe. Its a badge engineered Skoda underneath. Still a competent car but dynamically inferior. The new A6 (are they even new when it's just headlights that are changed?) is 150kg heavier than the rear wheel drive 5 series. It makes no sense

There was an article that was released two days ago and here what is says- Global leader in its executive car segment Since its launch in 1972, the BMW 5 Series has been the undisputed global leader in the executive car segment. Throughout its successful 42 years, the BMW 5 Series has acquired more than 72 international awards including: Germany's Favourite Car and Car of the Year from the UK, Bulgaria, Mexico, Thailand and New Zealand, USA's 2010 GOOD DESIGN Award, the Red Dot award, the iF Product Design Award, the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Design Award from the Auto Bild, the Design Trophy from the Auto Zeitung magazine and a multitude of other awards on different continents that continue to reaffirm the global popularity of the BMW 5 Series. www.tmcnet.com/usubmit/2014/05/14/7828872.htm

juan tafoya I know I saw the video sometime ago but here is the spec sheet for the 2013 BMW M5(non performance package) vs 2014 Mercedes e63 s model,The spec sheet speaks for itself. www.automobile-catalog.com/auta_cmp2.php 2013 BMW M5 (non performance package) 0 to 60 mph- 3.9 seconds when the Mercedes get 3.7 with awd 0 to 160 mph- 25.8 seconds Quarter mile- 12.1 seconds @ 119mph Weight- 4387 pounds 2014 Mercedes E63 AMG S model 0 to 60 mph- 3.7 seconds 0 to 160 mph- 26.5 seconds Quarter mile- 12.1 seconds @117mph Weight- 4431 The Mercedes has awd and more power/torque and barely beats the M5 that has rwd to 60. Like I said BMW has and will always be the ultimate driving machine period, if they added awd to the M5 it would demolish the Mercedes cause awd usually shreds a second of the time to 60 mph. The M5 beat the Mercedes to 160 mph when it has awd, more power and a good amount of torque.

O J there is no "if" , you're either the best or you're not. I can say "if" the e63 was lighter but "if" doesn't count. BMW is good theyre the best balanced cars in the world with perfect 50/50 weight distribution but Mercedes is notorious for torque and superior AMG engines they always outdo every brand.

I owned a 2009 BMW 535i and loved it but it had a few issues and I finally traded it in with 116K miles for a...2013 Audi A6. Both cars are great cars but the Audi is a better built car and I've enjoyed the Audi more. I bought both of them used - 3 years old and about 44,000ish miles. I took care of both the same way. I'm sticking to Audi's going forward (and maybe a Porsche).

Nose to tush drag race????. You know better than that. If two cars with identical acceleration profiles are having a drag race, then the first one off the line will always be going faster than the second one off the line and will be pulling away from the other forever. That's what happened here. Hence the acceleration test was bogus. BTW, I own an A6.

I work as a service advisor at a BMW dealer here in LA. The vast majority of the owners I see of the 535i will never be drag racing with anyone. They are doctors, real estate agents, owners of companies that buy the car for the image (nothing wrong with that), the quality, the luxury and safety. Wheter it goes from 0-60 in 5.1 secs or in 5.8 seconds wont matter worth a shiat to any of them.

Di3zell Honestly, dont take my advice or ANYONE elses. Your best solution is to test drive both of them. No specs or recommendation will make that choice for you. You must make the choice. Take them both out and see for your self. Both are really great cars, it would be foolish of me to say one is shitty and one is perfect. Plus test driving is always fun. It honestly depends on your taste.

Di3zell Yep, you must perform a testdrive of both cars and see for yourself which one fits you and your driving style better. I love both BMW and Audi. For me, I was looking for a crossover, I testdrove both Q5 3.0T Premium Plus and X3 xDrive35i M-Sport. I choose the X3 because of its responsiveness to my steering input and off-the-line 0-60 in 5.5 seconds for a SUV/SAV. The Q5 wasn't far behind at 6.1 seconds 0-60 time. I still love both. If I have a bigger garage, I can purchase both.

this BMW has to be launched properly to take off fast, if your at a standstill, you have to spool up the turbos to about 4000 rpm with left foot on the brake and release, it will take off like a rocket, im curently looking for an f10 535i with the manual transmission.

2Fast4Mellow Right and your A6 is supercharged. Read up on superchargers vs. turbochargers and you will get what we were talking about. The whole point of racing these is so you can kick someone's ass at a stoplight right? Well if that BMW gets to spool up its turbo (barely takes any time with their new very little turbo lagging engines) wouldn't you like to know if it will kick your ass? Your A6 has more power and would likely win btw but I'm just saying they did this "drag race" in a bad way.

Lucas Cruz So, you only race from standstill? So, wait complicated procedure do you have to follow if you're driving with a mate on a highway both at say 60mph and side by side and do a race who of the two has finished the next mile first? I just floor my pedal, the VCT gear will kick down and I will be 'launched'. I guess you have to shift down manually then in order to spool up the turbo? In other words where I can just press my pedal, you have to configure you're car for each and every 'race'. BTW Rotrex has supercharges for most BMW models. I think my A6 has less power than yours as I only have a 2.0TFSI 260HP (originally 211HP, but downtuned to 180HP by Audi on order to meat the emissions specs for energy class A) engine.. For me 'racing' is about escaping every days complicated routines. So while I can focus on the road ahead, while you also have to keep paying attention to you're revs..

2Fast4Mellow Uh put simply, no. Turbo lag nowadays especially with BMWs is very short. if you're cruising down the highway you might get a slight lead but your mate in the bmw is gonna destroy you after a second. The point I was making was in the video they did it at a standstill so you're gonna see a big gap in the cars if not launched correctly. Remember its driving cars a little difference in acceleration appears big. I said your car had more power cuz I just assumed your A6 was 3.0T but since it isn't, your car would be left in the dust by a 535 no question. Also, BMWs you can just hit the pedal and take off too it's not that complicated... again the turbo lag nowadays with their twinscroll turbochargers is very very short. Even with their single scrolls it is still minute.

If you're drag racing with an automatic turbo, you don't just mash the gas pedal down. You hold the brake and push the gas to build up boost. When you let go of the brake, you'll leave the audi in the dust. Don't forgot to turn off trac control. Regardless, they are both great cars. People buying these cars aren't picking one over the other based on a few tenths of a second difference in the 0-60 time. Buy what you like.

I have the A6 3L supercharged car. But i think not to give the BMW the nod for driving feel.at the wheel is an impirtant ommission. Most people drive these cars at 3/10ths to 5/10ths 95% of the time and how the car feels at the wheel is a real pleasure is a key value point driving a fine car. On the other hand the Audi's 3L is exceptional in fuel.economy, also not mentioned. Driving across Sydney in heavy slow traffic recently, for 90 minutes it returned better than 26mpg (US). On highway cruise at 65mph it returns 34npg(US). But if you drive dynamically around town it drops to 20mpg(US).

Audi might have the better performance,the cheaper car etc etc but there is always one thing from the Beemer above it all.That is the fact it is a Beemer.Therefore I buy them and not because one is faster as the other.With a race is comes to the driver.Here in Germany Audi tries for decades to be the number one But till now it is still 1: BMW 2:Mercedes and only 3th Audi..why?because it is an Audi.Even as they have good sales numbers but most are company cars on lease contracts.Almost to compare with a Ford Mondeo

I guess that is a matter of opinion, I am in my tenth year of driving BMWs. I had the 7 series and have the 3 series now. Though a fantastic driver's cars, I have had lots of issues with maintenance and reliability. I am very tempted to buy an Audi. With the Audi you have the reassurance of the quattro system which is useful if you live in the wetter and harsher climates. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too :-)

The 550i would run against the Audi S6, the "S" being used to represent the most powerful non RS car in the lineup. In this case the 550i would be destroyed, be a large margin.

Roman & Nathan tested the 5-Series with X-drive, BMW's AWD system. It's a true head-to-head. I've never driven them (nor will I ever -- I, like the most of us, can't afford them -- about $60k fully loaded), but ultimately test drive them. Maybe, X-drive is better than Quattro in your driving experience; and for those of us who live in mountainous or northern climates -- all wheel drive might be necessary.

@GTGTRR Can you see the difference between the 1.420 kg of the EVO and the 1815 kg of the Audi? You do know that the EVO is a rally car adapted for the road, while the Audi is a limousine designed firstly for comfort (that leads to completely different setup of the diffs and stability control software)? Nevermind the fact these are cars the run in different classes.

You guys did a great job doing an acceleration run from a complete stop on both cars, although it would have been nice to see them start side-by-side. I drove the 5 Series back-to-back against the supercharged A6 on a track, and was surprised at the BMW's pronounced turbo lag. It's something most other reviewers miss or claim doesn't exist. The Audi's steering was also better, with noticeably better road feel. BMW seems to have lost its way...

Much respect to both auto makers, but in all fairness, the AWD version of this BMW adds weight to it, while the pure RWD car loses no traction because of the way it is geared and the way the dual power straight 6 works. Admittedly Audi has always been the benchmark for AWD with their Quattro systems, but the BMW 535i RWD version is 300 pounds light than their X-Drive model, while the performance figures are the same. Believe that would of been a fairer test, as BMW made its name on RWD sedans.

Hey guys cool review, I have to say I really like how Audi positions their cars nowadays, sleek looking dash! I have one remark though, you've shown us the fastest car from a complete stop to - whatever speed you were doing. Since the Audi you've tested has AWD, I'd like to see how they match up in 'overtaking', so an acceleration test from 40 mph-whatever.

And there is no sense in looking more like 3 because there is a more than a year gap between them with 5 comming out first. Therefore you could say in some following reciew that 3 looks 5ish but not the other way round! thanks for the funny yet informative review!

I was okay with your argument until you said "horrible RWD drive experience." I don't know if you meant drivetrain faults, but to drive, BMW's are almost second to none. M3 E46/E92, E60 M5, 1series M, all exceptional RWD drivers cars. X-drive may not be AS good as the next AWD system but cars like the X5 M can still manage extremely impressive numbers with x-drive. BTW I'm NOT an Audi hater. I embrace almost all of BMW's Audi's and Porsche's products. Mercedes? Can go eat a bag.
