In the olden days . . . 30 - 70 was the most often quoted time in reviews. It's far more meaningful than 0 - 60, so it's nice to find someone using it again.

Not a Fair race to be fair. The drop top 3 series is 250kg heavier than the E92 coupe

[@charlieskids4348]

Totally fair. Actually it's 280kg which is like carrying 3 extra large passengers, however the BMW has 30 bhp more. If you look at the power to weight ratio, then the Audi only has 3 bhp/ton more which is nothing, therefore the difference is down to gearing, drag or more likely the torque (Calvin - can you add this to the stats as well). By the way, each 10th of a second is approximately one car length, therefore the Audi won the 0-60 by 2 car lengths. It would be interesting to see the comparison after stripping the BMW out or injecting nitrous in the intake (there's a video that showed a 201bhp diesel engine make 272 bhp with just a small shot in the intake).

I bought my manual E92 (coupe) 330d as a stop gap after my E36 M3 was stollen nearly 3 years ago. Still got it!!! Hands down one of the best cars i've owned. It did turn out a previous owner had had it mapped so it's a fair bit quicker than stock. In day to day driving it's faster than the M3 was because of the torque and returns 40+mpg. Whats not to like? Not driven a diesel audi but have driven a V6 petrol which left me cold, FWD 😔

"more traction but less top end power" would have sufficed

[@iandavies1893]

The 330D saloon weighs about 300kg less and is unsurprisingly quite a lot faster as you can easily lose over a second from the 0-60 time. A simple remap can knock a couple of seconds from the 1/4 mile time which in the real world makes them bloody fast as in Golf R fast and quicker in gear due to 50% more torque.

[@vandalstatus3703]

I really like the way you come across on screen, you should be on top gear or something better than that cos I would rather see this channel than the pretty lame top gear I only saw one time since Clarkson and friends left. I have been involved in the modified German car scene for over 20 years and you have given a fair evaluation of both models here, just to add to what you have already said, the best production all wheel drive system in the world is the genuine quattro version, not to be confused with the Haldex system on the small vag cars like the golf and a1 and a3, which is still a good system just not permanent 4wd. So if you had a 335d and the higher power a5 3.0 tdi you would have a better match with the 335d being more powerful and the audi will have a lot more traction with the quattro set up. This gives the a5 a much harder launch than the bmw, but the 335d will reel it in after the first 2 gear changes. The choice between the two is a difficult one, the audi is a better car for daily usage with more comfort and less noise, arguably the better looking and more reliable, and the bmw is a more responsive, more precise handling car, feeling more like a performance car than the smooth comfort based audi, which for me is a bit hard over bumps but a nicer place to be inside. I've had a few models of both of these from the m3 to the rs5 and the bmw is the most involving car to drive and it's the one that makes you smile, the audi feels like a luxury car with the whole image of it yet its a numb feeling when compared to the bmw. If you like driving in a feeling what the car is doing then you need the bmw, if you want a quick comfortable well built reliable car you can depend on, and you don't need to feel like a racing driver then get the audi and you will be more than happy

[@mraeece]

The e93 is quite heavy and the previous generation engine whereas the Audi is newer and lighter

[@SGM805]

So the e92 will piss all over the newer a5

[@monz87]

Makes sense as the horsepower is more top end speed where weight doesn't factor too much as it does off the line for example. So the higher powered BMW went quicker top end. Plus the BMW has probably lost a few ponies.

[@Andersljungberg]

Isn't torque more important than horsepower within certain limits? and at what speeds you get the torque
