You can't go wrong with any of these ,but oh my,that 3 Series in M -Sport with M-Performance parts is absolutely stunning,and i love the interior. My pick goes with the 3 Series easily,Merc comes in 2nd ,and that dull A4 ,in 3rd. Btw,not such bad of a review as people rag about.

[@jackv6816]

It was on October 5, 1917 the BMW trademark was registered with the Imperial Trade Mark Roll under No. 221388. It featured the circular design of the Rapp logo but with the letters BMW at the top of the outer ring. The inner quadrants featured the Bavarian Free State colors of blue and white - but in the opposite order - as it was illegal to use national symbols in a commercial trademark.The design was not in any way connected with aircraft engines or propellers. The idea that the blue and white had anything to do with spinning propellers comes from a 1929 advertisement, which featured aircraft with the image of the Roundel in the rotating propellers. This advertisement came at the beginning of the Great Depression, which coincided with BMW acquiring the license to build Pratt & Whitney radial aircraft engines. The advertising department used the Roundel and BMW heritage in an attempt to increase sales of the new radial motors

[@rongshao2525]

For those who commented that the Editor is biased or clearly an Audi guy, how many of you actually drove both the 2019 BMW 330i and Audi A4 quattro? For some, I doubt if you can even afford one of these 3 cars. Well, it's always easy to dump you crap on the internet as you don't take responsibility for it. Btw, this clearly biased Audit guy from Drive.com.au concluded in this video and his article (www.drive.com.au/comparison-review/bmw-330i-audi-a4-mercedes-benz-c300-121224) that the 330i's wins out the competition.

[@malcolmscott4150]

The BMW grille is overdone with M performance pack - looks like a bad fitting fake moustache - A4 more elegant

[@fooltube9999]

Most of you probably haven’t tested these cars back to back like this guy and it really sounds like you’re basing your comments on old stereotypes. Truth is these three brands are constantly changing and each will have their up and down times. Can’t tell you which car feels better to drive but I can definitely say the Audi interior is the best one, with the new 3series close behind.

Nathan good on u mate. VAG forever.

[@lonelywuffy]

The BMW has the worst interior in my opinion.

[@Endorion_YTC]

I respect your opinion, and I totally agree, it's however meant to look more sporty, not very luxurious approach. Mercedes is heavy with tech and luxury which is where they are focused on and lastly Audi is more like a minimalistic and simple and a slightly cheap end budget for those. Mercedes > Audi > BMW

[@Endorion_YTC]

Necro W1zard Yeah good way to put it. Audi seems to be more towards the tech and clean slate look with its interior. Exterior is pretty much same with minor face changes.

[@campkira]

@Necro W1zard It is the same car.... you can removed the head unit and put in the old one...

[@gavinpowell8538]

Wow, they've really stuffed up the grill on the BM

[@marksmith6839]

The Audi A4 - pure elegance. Best looking sedan on the road.

[@noynoy3190]

Disagree because the 3 series is much way better then the A4. I drove it before and didn't like it. Now the bmw 3 series is definitely more fun and enjoyable. The Audi interiors is boring compare to BMW.
