08 550i vs 07 RS4
 
Which one do you think is a better choice? 08 550i sport or 07 audi RS4?

Wagner 10-09-2007 08:50 PM

Ah, two different types of cars. RS4 is an awesome street/track car with 420hp, where the 550 is just a sports sedan with 360hp.

RS4 posts a zero-sixty in the mid 4's, the 550 can't break 5.0 seconds. The 550 is larger, but doesn't have AWD as the Audi does. As I said, two different cars.

They're different beings. It's better to compare the A6 4.2 to the 550i.

The 5 is a comfortable yet athletic luxury sedan. The RS4 is an M3 competitor.

PersonaNonGrata 10-09-2007 09:03 PM

:iagree: with Wagner. Which is the better choice? Depends on what you're looking for. I haven't driven an RS4 but I would imagine it's a little on the extreme side whereas the 550 is a very comfortable car with plenty of power. I especially like it with the Sport Package.

side note, Audi dealer I dealt with in MD was such a d__k. A while back I went out to test drive a RS4, he told me I wasn't allowed..... :tsk:

which one? Was it FSK in Frederick? They wouldn't let us test drive a '08 A4 2.0T because "it had just arrived and wasn't prepped for test drives yet". They wanted to take us out in a CPO A4. :throw:

Ha, ha, must be a worldwide thing. I went to the largest dealer over here and they wouldn't let me test drive the Q7:confused:

mrkbbd 10-11-2007 12:13 PM

I've had 1 good experience at an Audi dealer, when the S4 first came out I wanted to pick one up so I went and they let me drive it, I was not 100% sure so I went to the benz dealer to look at the c55 and bmw dealer for the m3 and the volvo for the s60r, but when I went back to the audi dealer to look once more, the guy I dealt with had "left" and I was treated like crap from then on out. So then I went to the BMW dealer and was about to lay down the money for a M3, but saw the X5 4.8is on the turn table and changed my mind instantly. Long story short, you treat a customer who is willing to buy that moment like crap, you will never see them again / no brand loyalty either.

mrkbbd 10-11-2007 12:14 PM

sorry, I prefer the 550i sport package, the audi sounds nice, but pull up to your country club in a boy-racer audi and you look like douche.

Wagner 10-11-2007 01:00 PM

:confused: did he mention something about trying to impress others with his purchase?

dayummmm...you beat me to it....if your car buying decision is based on how you are perceived when you pull up to your country club....you ARE a douche.

X5Jay 10-11-2007 03:56 PM

:iagree: :rofl:

AzNMpower32 10-11-2007 09:05 PM

+1. Unfortunately, there are many people out there that buy a luxury car for the brand only.

I know one such person. He's a terrible driver, has a snotty attitude, and likes BMW for the name. Whenever I get in his X5 or 325i, I put much faith in the passive safety devices present in the vehicle. Like side curtain airbags for instance, because he never checks for blind spots. On a ride to Tysons and back, he nearly changed lanes into someone else about 5 times, activated DSC going too fast around a corner, and the energy consumption meter was pinned to the far side of 8 mpg. They never wash their own cars. The stereo is turned up too loud.

(I keep this friend mostly because he makes me look benign by comparison :rofl: )

mrkbbd 10-13-2007 10:07 PM

I think you missed my point, I'm not saying buy a car to impress people, I'm saying think about the situations you are going to be in to see which car is more appropriate. I get heat pulling up in the 4.8 due to the std. exhaust system, and for the record I am not a flashy person and I bought my cars for me.

Eurosport 10-20-2007 06:49 PM

aaah the image :rofl:

bimmerfan22 10-21-2007 09:47 AM

As others have said, the two are completely different cars. I'm a huge fan of the 550. The RS4 seems small and less comfortable to me.

I also prefer the way the BMW drives. The Audi just doesn't feel as connected to the road.

Feel free to PM or email me any questions about the 550.

delhite 10-21-2007 06:43 PM

never was a fan of audi i hv seen a lot of older model audi and the sound of them idling makes me think of them as a fiat

GUINNESS 10-22-2007 11:16 AM

"boy-racer"????? We're talking about an RS4, not a Civic Si :confused: I guess since the RS4 is an M3 competitor, than the M3 must be a boy-racer bmw.

silVerbUllt_x5 10-22-2007 11:30 PM

why not go with a M5? its more refined than the RS4, but you still get the performance you want.
people are saying that the RS4 is a better comparison with the M3 but that only depends what you are looking for...
RS4=sport sedan.... and M3=coupe
i know that i wouldn't want to cram my clients or golf buddies in the back of the M3 lol
you have to account for the depreciation rate in an Audi is higher than a BMW

M5 more refined??? I would seriously argue against that having owned one.. the depreciation is also simply not true...

lol you have no clue what you are talking about....
i ve been in both and driven both and yes the M5 is more refined. Just sitting in it, you can tell that the BMW is more luxurious than the Audi
oh and about the depreciation rate? only a misinformed person would believe that

:rolleyes:

You just turned the heat up on SanGuru.
:popcorn:

SANguru 10-23-2007 10:44 PM

yeah.. let's see.. do you even own either one of the cars above??? oh wait.. you've only driven it... until you've owned both, you're in no position to tell me I'm clueless as I have tracked both and owned the E39 M5, E60 M5, and a B6 S4.... Let me know when you're old enough to buy either one... :confused:

The m5 is anything but refined with SMG. it jerks like there's no tomorrow, no torque around town.. I like driving my Stradale around town better than that piece of shit. Oh BTW, it didn't hold it value either.. Go out to the auction and you can buy a 95K MSRP M5 for high 60's... is that what you not call depreciation or do they not teach simple math in canada????

silVerbUllt_x5 10-23-2007 11:18 PM

hmm.... yea i test drove a civic before i decided on the x5
but now that u mention it, i think i need another 2 years in the civic to realize that the x5 is better!!!
don't worry i won't take ur hissy fit seriously... ur just upset u cant handle the over steer of the BMW and needs the AWD
once u managed to untangle ur panties while ur waiting in the ditch, u can reflect on math skills....
i said that depreciation in BMW is less than Audi...
not once did i say that depreciation rate in BMWs r low.... cause eveyone knows they are not
its funny how u brought up the topic of the canadian education system...
im sorry to say, but american univeristies will accept anyone...
my friend didn't get admitted to the good canadian universities and ended up going to USC...
BTW im pretty im old enough to buy those cars considering i just become the proud owner of an E70 4.8 loaded without financing...
so why don't u salvage what is left of your ego and go do something productive

good bye sanguru :)

SANguru 10-23-2007 11:32 PM

funny how Junior likes to talk when I'm untangling your mom's panties. She said she's taking your civic away...

LOL at proud owner of an X5 (which btw ain't worth shit cuz you crashed it) . I wouldn't even consider that my beater you fuckin tool... you've got a fuckin long ass way to go.... you have no clue who you're talking to..

BTW.. your friend only got into USC cuz his stupid mom paid him in... so what's your point..

silVerbUllt_x5 10-24-2007 12:16 AM

hahhaaaa how ironic... calling me junior and ur the one thowing out
"your mom" insults.... it seems to me ur not that intelligent
i thought when i graduated from elementary it was gonna be the last time i heard these jokes, but guess not. ill never know who you meet on the internet. i feel sorry for u, how you are unable to engage in a civil debate without thowing out "momma" insults
its seems to me that ur the one that "got a long fuckin way to go" by that i mean grow up and act ur age
and i do have a pretty good image of who u are
http://www.unitednothing.net/content/pictures/guido.php
pretty good guess eh?

silVerbUllt_x5 10-24-2007 12:19 AM

oh yea one more thing...
please do me a favor,
after ur done taking notes off of "yo momma" on mtv,
flip the channel to CNN and get a reality check
i guess its not just those toys that are faulty coming out of china
its time they did a recall for some of their immigrants
....no offence to immigrants and chinese, its just a few that spoil it for others, and im a hybrid so its fine...

Wagner 10-24-2007 04:09 AM

shuuuuushhhh already. Do we have any figures that back up the claim that Audi depreciates faster then BMW? I would think it would be the opposite as the Audi (in general as the thread made it) builds an amazing car, and with the best auto trans in the world, for the most part, the US would gobble them up. Not to mention Audi was smart enough to have V-dub, so it doesn't have to build 1 series POS :rofl:

As for BMW being more luxurious, that is entirely subjective. I'm not sure how the M5 got thrown in a thread about a 550 and S4, but alright then, throw in the RS6 from Audi (about the cost of the E60 M5 new).

SANguru 10-24-2007 07:40 PM

you bore me and LOL @ you having to talk about the chinese.. at least we got fuckin exports.. the only thing you export are french canadians who put up white flags...

If you can't tell the difference between china and hong kong, you should pay attention in history class instead of jerking off..

silVerbUllt_x5 10-25-2007 02:29 AM

i bore u? it seems like ur the one thats running out of material
the only reason china have anything to export is strictly due to the fact that during the 1900's north america went through a transformation of eliminating most of its manufacturing industries and concentrated on services and commerce....
lol u must not get out much considering ur knowledge of the world is so minimal...
last time i checked, canada's oil sands in northern alberta is comparable to the oil reserves of saudi
btw hong kong is part of china, after the 1994 handover...
u should know considering u were probably one of those hong kongers that were shitting their pants
and oh yea they are taking out the boarder between china and hong kong in a few years so i hope u don't get raped in the ass by some mainlanders...
ill be sure to sent u some diapers when that happens

Hey which is better 550 or RS4?

(see title of this thread)

dr.jay 10-25-2007 05:16 AM

I dunno I'm not looking at either but when I am looking for a car I dont ask for other peoples opinions, I buy the car I like, I can give a F!@K about what other's prefer

Eurosport 10-25-2007 12:50 PM

Sanguru, you're a fucking idiot
you've used "fucking" like 3 times in this thread, attacking the poor guy with your oldness crap, and "my penis is larger than yours" this is not the first time either, why do mods don't give a shit, if someone else would have done it, thread would have been locked, post deleted too.
whatever...

GUINNESS 10-25-2007 03:29 PM

Well, for those who need a quick lesson in proper English and one of the most interesting words in the English language, please view the video. Hey, it is derived from a German word, so it kinda relates :)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CqnvxP0H3lM


On another note, I vote this thread best X5World thread ever and most informative thread :D

And lastly, comparing a 550i sport to an RS4 is apples and oranges. Compare an RS4 to the M3 and an A6 to the 550i (not the RS6, that's for the M5).

good.. they will come to canada, use up your resources, shit on your mom, and take over what you dumb kids can't do. BTW, in your great intellect, you still have not backed up anything you said in your original post.
