Audi A7 tdi or BMW X5???
 

Hello fellas, I'm currently in the process of swapping cars and I can't decide what to chose!

The main options are : Audi A8 D4, Audi A7 and BMW X5 40d(2014).

The only thing that is a must for me is that I would want the engine to be diesel.

I am 31 years old, still single so I don't really need the space.
I also do a large trip a couple times per month, 600-700 km and back.
I currently own a Porsche panamera turbo S, but I got sick of it. Too many issues and very poor reliability.

My budget is 30.000€ maaaybe 35k if something justifies it.

Thanks a lot for taking the time for reading my wall of text and I know you will be objective! (Even if I'm actually posting this in the A7 forums!)

For my money, A7 TDI

We have a D4 2012 Audi A8L, 2016 Audi A7 3.0T, 2015 BMW X5 diesel and 2014 A6 3.0TDI in the family with cars at different places. I highly recommend the A7

Odd selection as they are all pretty different. Not to mention, everything after the Panamera will handle pretty dull.

If not a single one screams at you, you want none. Find a car that you are passionate about.

Or get something cheaper and basic, then find a hobby or interest to spend the saved money on.

The TDi engine is amazing, at least pre-epa fix.

A friend of mine works on BMW for a living and stated there are only certain model years that he would recommend if you don't want high repair bills. I can ask him again what years and models.

As people are starting the TDI is solid.

A7 TDI for me. 35mpg at 80mph . . . Sorry about your Panny. Mine has been awesome - zero problems.
