Great review! I own the 2021 M440i convertible and LOVE IT (Gray exterior, Red interior). I test drove both the S5 and M440i and prefer the M (that's why I bought it :-) You are right it is SO quiet with top up or down. With the back air deflector up it is incredible how little wind blows in the cabin. 2 things you missed on the review. The M has heated headrests, and the design of the M, the angle of the headlights matches the angle of the interior air vents and door handles. It looks amazing, compared to the S5. Anyway, great job and looking forward to your next reviews (Thomas pick the M!)

Great review ;-) Personally, I have an S5 since couple of months and I prefer that heads down to BMW. First, I was driving a 540i about 15 years ago where the engine just fell apart @ 60K miles 5 years down the road. I have 2 horror stories of guys driving M3s and engines just doing roughly the same in last 10 years. Though I admit I drove the first 3.0i Z3s muscleback gokart around 2001 for 2 years and goodness, this was an insanely fun car to drive (before kids ;-) AFAIS BMW gets the extra horses now by simply overcooking the engines and weasles out the warranty when they broil. Also, BMW service used to be some of the best but Audi leaves them in the dust now (at least locally). S5 four real seats, great trunk, superb handling and sleek integrated technology (lights, cruise with integrated speed sign reading, superb heads up, 20 speakers bose and so on and so on is all superbly meshed and easy to use [though I don't like the big touch sticking out in the middle too much]) just got me. Plus, in comfort it's really a sedan and flipped to S you got a really, really decent (geared to older man's needs like heated massage seats ;-) sporty cabrio. the beamer may have the overcooked inline engine but goodness, the v6 in the audi already can scare you witless when you dare to push it in sports a bit and I'm used to go around in 350hp boats ;-) And let's not forget, I got completely sold on the quattro, I drove a passat with 4 motion for 2-3 years and the 4 wheel technology audi has is simply like going on rails compared to any of the bmw stuff. And yes, the porsches with full 4 wheel distribution are even better but then you're looking at racing and not everyday car and another 50% min pop in price point.

Great review, but pick one at the end!! I'm a hard core convertible girl and have owned both BMW and Audi convertibles. The BMW seems more refined and suited for the older/leisure consumer, while the Audi seems younger, brash, and impatient to get out there and GO! I love the exhaust tuning of the BMW better - it's that low, throaty, sexy purr. Audi's exhaust is again, less refined. BMW used to be a 'true driver's car', but decided to change to the 'old person Sunday driver's' car. The Audi is the choice for those who truly love to drive. Driving with the top down should still ruffle your hair, windscreen or not. We're back to the 'Sunday drivers' v. the driver who has top-down driving in their blood. The interiors are a mixed bag...I think you could make different choices to evoke the feeling *you* need from either car. I personally detest quilting and am not into the brushed stainless/carbon fiber look. I love beautiful wood trim in a car! I would also stick with leather seating, because, if you actually *use* the ragtop, you know how filthy seats can get (I don't want sweat soaked fabric seats!). In my experience (if you tend to purchase and keep your vehicles), the Audi has better long-term integrity (in terms of maintenence and repair costs) than the BMW. Something that's a big negative for the Audi is that Audi's back window tends to detatch from the top after some years and the only way to fix it is to put on a new top (totally stupid when the top is still in great condition!) I am unaware if this is a BMW issue. Lastly, I'm VERY disappointed in options for convertible tops from all manufacturers. I LOVE my chosen color with a TAN top! I do not want black!!! When I get my next car, I'll have to order through a custom program to get what I want (which sucks!) One last thing... How can you NOT love those evil powerful 'eyes' (headlights) on the Audi??? If anything says "c'mon, try me..." like those eyes, I've never seen it. For the car chicks out there, Fendi makes a handbag that TOTALLY goes with the Audi - The Fendi Peekaboo Monster (www.pinterest.com/amp/pin/31384528631741220/) Just wanted to throw my female/loves to drive/convertibles in my blood opinions in the mix! 🚘

I looked at the A5, E450, and M440i cabrios and chose the BMW. Not least because, where I live in the States, I was faced with long (and uncertain) wait times for the Audi and the Mercedes, whereas a new M440i in Dravit Grey happened to come off the delivery truck the day I was at the BMW dealer to inquire/test drive. In three months I've put 5500 miles on the M440i, mostly due to two long road trips, with a combination of highway, rural, and spirited driving (including the infamous "Tail of the Dragon" in Tennessee/North Carolina), and I must say that I'm VERY happy with my choice. As is my wife, who has ridden as a passenger for nearly all of those miles. I'm sure I would have been happy with either the Audi or the Mercedes, as both are terrific cars, but I think the BMW is turning out to be the best fit for me. If only the steering was as good as the steering in the Audi (or my brother's Porsche 718...)

Great review! I had the same choices, did a BMW auto cross in the M440i coupe, so ordered and had an M440i xDrive on order for Oct delivery, when I found a great deal on a Boxster S. Cancelled the M440i, but if I decide I want a backseat and sell my ‘07 E93, the M440i x is what I’d re-order. Saw your 718 comment and had to post, hard to beat that handling.

What an excellent review! Both are amazing cars, and the "decision" would come down to the nuanced personal preference and need that you describe. No use disparaging one against the other, and you nailed the salient comparative points. For me, A5. But I've loved BMW M too. Depends too maybe on where you are in your car journey.

Test drove a 2022 S5 cab this afternoon, and one thing I didn’t like was the steering wheel. Too thin and plasticy feeling, and the shift paddles too felt very thin and cheap. I’m a BMW guy, and loved a lot about the S5, but the steering wheel (which you’re holding 100% of the time you’re driving so is kinda important) was a letdown.

I just *love* the new BMW 4 series. 💯 The larger upright grille gives it a very aggressive, yet Modern look. And I've never understood why people don't say the same about the Audi's grille - but that it's one looks old, dated and slopey. No different to their cars from 2006. In real life, the BMW's is perfectly sized. People just were too easily brainwashed by rough opinions on the internet!

I love BMWs and I have had three (E30, E36 and E46) over a period of 20 years, but in recent years I think that especially the small BMWs have become too big and heavy (not to mention front-wheel drive for 1- series). In this case, I would definitely have considered the Audi, but then it's the engine in the BMW. Few engines today are better than the B58 in-line six and this has probably always been the case with BMW. The engines in a BMW have, with few exceptions, been fantastic constructions (at least here in Europe). They are relative to displacement powerful and perform really impressive (even for the regular models such as the 320i). The gearbox and dynamic driving characteristics are other BMW specialties that make a BMW a fantastic driving machine.

Then in performance SUVs test, SQ8 earned the same accolades ("perfection in execution"), but Thomas said he had most fun in X6M50I. Impressive how these companies are able to maintain the same character across models, and how Thomas notices it and characterizes it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYirn6OHZ8-CfZo and then kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4TPZGiCYp11hJY

The head vs the heart...a timeless battle of the Ages. They say to follow your heart...in that case, BMW wins. (but you must get it in Tanzanite Blue!) I also know that you CAN get sensatec (no animal skin) here in the USA. Bravo, Thomas.

@@autogefuehl I must correct you, sir! The M440i cabrio is 100% available with Sensatec in 4 color choices. The M4 Competition Convertible ONLY has leather seating available. Check out the US Build Your Own to see for yourself. This is good news for those who seek to avoid animal skins and don't need/want the M4, which is about $20,000 more. 😎

The Audi is technically great but there is just something intrinsically special about a BMW in-line six… excellent review Thomas.

Solely based on the increased reliability of the Audi A5 vs the Audi S5, I chose the A5. 0-60 in the A5 is 5.0sec vs 4.3 in the 3.0v6 S5. I bought for overall daily driving, top down, reliable, sporty but luxury fun.

Thanks Thomas, a really great comparison. I'm driving the S5 since 5 years and I'm really happy with the car. But, I'm evaluating a new Cabrio just now and compair the Audi and the BWM. Do I have an answer now? No, but I can confirm your summary to 100%.

Hard choice for sure! But I think the Audi sounds a bit better with the cracles and bangs. But the BMW looks better :). I would go for the Audi!

I liked the rant about the disaster in the car industry. Soon they'll put a touch screen tv in there. Im 28 but I love the "old school" driving style and cars, I have a 14 yo alfa. Go in, start it up and drive, dont need 57 drive modes or something. Also, I hope to own a v8 someday, EVs feel like toys, not cars.

I have a 2021 M440i coupe and much prefer it over the S5 coupe. The BMW just has more character and the engine in my opinion is more responsive and it handles great.

B58 engine with the ZF transmission make a too good combo to not take them into consideration! Exterior colour and interior can be vastly customised so I don't see a possible high difference here 🤔 M440i is much more fun driven with the top down ✌

I LOVE your reviews, Thomas. Your passion is obvious. I so appreciate how thorough, knowledgeable & authentic you are. Thank you for all your valued work. It really helps people like me to make decisions about our vehicle purchases. Question: I am more concerned with comfort over performance although I also really appreciate performance. I want a convertible as my next vehicle in the next 6 months. Which BMW would you recommend- the 8 series, 4 series or Z4. I currently have the X5 and really enjoy all the features.

I had an SQ5 prior to my present X5. I felt the BMW was superior in fit and finish - maybe because the SQ5 was built in Mexico. My heart makes me lean toward the BMW 😊.
