    Ask ko lang po kung anu sa dalawa ang maganda sa inyo. Kasi sabi nila na improved ang diesel engines ng mga ito at matulin na po ang mga units na ito. Totoo ba yun?

    Anu ang opinion niyo dito?

    320d ako. My current dream car.

    C! magazine reviewed this car and according to them, the 320d can reach 220km/h! The engine response is like a V8 daw. Gobs of torque up until 5000 RPM! That's amazing for the Bimmer.

    Saw a brand new Audi A4 TDi churn out black diesel smoke, malamang dahil sa diesel quality ng Pinas. But in LeMans, Audi won using a diesel-powered car.

    both are halos at par with each other, the audi tdi can also reach 220kmh if you will notice pag mga porsche fun runs sa pga, laging meron isang audi assit tdi wagon na kasama it reaches mga 240kph para makasabay sa mga porsche

    yup audi won the lemans 24 hours using the TDI engine technology nila, same technology being used in all their TDI variants

    I've seen BMWs puff the odd cloud of black smoke, too... our local diesel is terrible....

    It's a hard choice... the Audi definitely has a bigger and better-appointed interior, but the BMW is faster and better handling....

    Uhh.... Focus TDCi? And with the change, I'd buy mags, tires, a bigger exhaust, chip-tuning and a fully adjustable suspension, and I'd coat all the crappy plastic parts with Alcantara...

    And with the 1.6 million I'd have left over after the car and mods, I'd buy myself a nice little place in Tagaytay...

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    uhh 530d instead? hhehehe.

    535d is the diesel twin-turbo version. Not sure if 335d is the same.

    I think ibang category and ownership experience na eto. But yah, why go for an expensive car hehe :P

    Anyways, hmm...between the two, I think the BMW 320d offers a much better package. Its a relatively new model, more powerful engine, and more service centers to choose from. For the A4, I think there will be a new model soon so baka malaos kaagad sya within a year.

    Back to topic, BMWs build some of the best diesel engines. They perform nearly as good as their gasoline counterparts but require much less fuel. They also sound nice.

    Audis are sometimes perceived simply as handsome Volkswagens, but they're also pretty serious in developing their TDI technology having raced diesel LeMans cars. They are said to be slightly smoother than BMW diesels but are also a notch less powerful.

    In choosing, always remember that Audis should be cheaper, so no prize for guessing the right choice if it costs the same as the BMW.
