Audi Vs BMW

[KrishE]

Good day members!!
I need your advice and opinions before buying a new  car. Have searched on forum as well but still I have few questions.
Maximum I can go for 9 million. But not sure which is the best. because this is my first time buying a German car. 

My eyes are more into Audi A6 right now.

Here are my questions  
01. Which is car is best for when it comes to maintenance ? Spare parts pricing ?

02. I saw many advertisements on autolanka as well . but All A6's are Diesel ? 
Is it hard to Find petrol one ? 

03. which car is most comfortable ? handling ?

04. Price range of these cars (not brand new) ?

Please give me your opinions. My eyes are more into A6 . I really love the design aesthetics and interior as well. 
Help me to decide! 

Thank you very much!
Krishan

BMW F10 5 Series

+ Rear wheel drive = good for bit more sportier and fun driving,

+ Brand = good driving dynamics, although may not be the "ultimate driving machine" anymore

+ Very attractive and muscular looking design

+ Has bit more specialists and parts will be slightly easier to find than Audi

- Very common (specially F10 520D) in roads and thus exclusivity and prestige is somewhat affected.

For 9 million - 2012 520D with low miles.

Pick for enthusiasts - 530D or 528i with M Sport package

Best colors IMHO - Black, havana brown, alpine white

AUDI A6 C7

+ Front wheel drive or AWD (Quattro) - good traction

+ Brand = Young generation's favorite out of German's

+ Very attractive and decent looking design

- It is a premium grade Volkswagen after-all

- Parts and maintenance cost may be slightly higher, specially after warranty period.

For 9 million - 2013 A6 

Best colors IMHO - Red, White, Metallic gray

Alternatives - Jaguar XF (2011-2013), Mercedez E Class (2010-2011)

Just my 0.02 cents

A6 is more decent Plush looking.

BMW 5 is more sportier try to get an M Sport.

 

I think u will be able to get more BMW parts.

Thank you so much for your suggestions.  Very helpful !! 
Let's see what others say.

Is there any difference between A6, diesel and Petrol ? I mean features ? 
Which is the best ? your opinion ?

Most of the diesel Audi's were imported under the permit scheme. When considering permit Audi's early 2013 did not have LED head lamps, paddle shift and Bose sound system. You can find a good specimen for around 9.5M.

some of the late 2013 one's were equipped with above features and goes at a higher price.

when it comes to maintenance service will cost you about 20000 at Senok and service interval is 8000km. break pads at agents will be 28000 and you can find genuine pads outside for 18000. so maintenance wise it will be almost similar to a Toyota with genuine parts.

Really speaking, Audi and Beemers never stood on the same stage.Most Audi owners upgrade to Beemers and Mercs.

[zeem35]

To be frank F10 is quite outdated now. Almost there for 7 years with the new design coming soon.

 

And the best looking colour without M sport is white and Havana brown.

 

With M sport gonna cost you 11 mil plus

But the grey variant is the best looking IMO.

Beemer has good resale value. Meaner look.

 

Audi has a decent more plush.

Jags are hard to sell. Less resale value.

If size doesnt matter go for a 3 series!

Better to buy a newer one. So less maintanence down the line.

Try to get a 2013 +

Hello,
I heard that Diesel Audies are not smooth and Engine little noisy ? Is that true ? 

Is it hard to maintain Diesel Audi ? Or there is no issues ? 

[Twin Turbo]

it's mainly the low-quality kerosene spiked high sulpher diesel.

Audi uses VW Group diesel engines  .

No issues at all if you  pump super diesel. Go for an agent imported specimen which can tolerate our Diesel.
