need advice - BMW 420i/428i coupe or Audi A5/S5 V6 coupe

[_M_]

I saw a second question being asked concerning oil consumption.
The general opinion and experience of many is that turbocharged cars exibits a higher oil consumption than non-turbo charged cars. This is also my experience with my VW Golf MkV.
But my experience on BMW engines showed that it is not true. Both my current 3 and 4 series and all my previous normally aspirated BMWs have never needed to be topped up with oil between service. on the 3 and 4 series, this is despite that much higher service intervals.

Bro Saat, hav your driving style & weight of your right foot evolved since your Golf MkV days?

Silverbullet : driving experience I would say "Awesome" as is bcoz is quattro "all wheel drive" cornering damn steady n the power is just makes u want more n more.. Since it's a V6 n the torque is like Vroom.. The exhaust sound also "wow" farting sound can b heard for each gear kicks in.. Due to DSG gearbox system. Price for Audi S5 recon is very reasonable for now comparing to an entire level of BMW 420i brand new. I actually almost gotten the zone 428i recon.. Same price as S5 recon.. But then overall package S5 satisfies me. There's a lot of potential in this V6 engine.. A lot of car dealers also said the price of a brand new BMW in Msian is very close to the one selling for recon's.they said if I would consider BMW, I should go for a brand new one in Msia instead due to warranty coverage.

If the price range is similar between the 4 series and the S5, would be a no brainer to get the Audi S5

Having just sold my VW passat cc R V6 3.6 for the 428i GC, and used to swap once in a while to the S5 with my best friend, i would say the DSG is great, but not worth the headache that comes with it. Seriously my friend's S5 is always in the gearbox workshop, seen many audis there as well. And other issues that crops up not covered by warranty. My VW was into the 4th year of warranty and had no big issue but quite often visit the SC. So from ownership point of view, the VW And siblings not so great.

In terms of drivability esp quattro (4motion for VW), its great.... stable and all. But less interesting than the RWD beemer. Body roll more apparent than the 4 series, though the quattro helps a lot. Refinement and driving position, beemer wins it.

Engine sound, V6 hands down. The sound makes you just want to floor the pedal and the 330++ horses is awesome.
