wait so let me get this straight, as your suspension compresses camber increases rather than decreases? :wtf

I have sold tons of Audi’s (also owned one) and owned/driven tons of BMW’s.

BMW is much more fun to drive  
Audi has the much better AWD system  
Parts are similar in cost and availability  
BMW’s seem to be easier to work on  
Audi’s transmissions take away any driving sporty fun  
You will end up replacing parts of the BMW’s coolant system  
You will replace coil packs on the Audi

In the end if you want to have a sporty toss it around daily driver, buy the BMW. If you want a comfortable, awesome in winter car, buy the Audi.

Because older MB’s are terrible in every way other than being a status symbol.

The newest c-class has really impressed me though.

I’ve owned one Audi and four BMW’s.

I bought a CPO Audi TT 225Q with 31K on it. I loved the car, but it was nothing but problems form the day I bought it.

The windows went up and down on their own.  
The drivers window came of the track 3 times in one year.  
Coil packs kept going out.  
Secondary Air injection CEL code would never go away.  
Replaced the Kombi valve twice (in a year)  
MAF sensor died at 40K.  
The turbo pissed oil everywhere.  
The cheap ass plastic dipstick tube broke when I was checking my oil.

I’ve had much more experience with BMW’s. The issues I’ve had with my BMW’s are:

1995 740IL, problem started at 183K miles, “Transmission Program” (would buck and jerk/no reverse)  
1999 328i (E46): had to replace multiple coils and thermostat (all after 120K miles)  
2004 X3 51K miles (no issues or repairs)  
2006 X3 33K miles (locking mechanism replaced)

The ML320 I had was nothing but problems too. We had it for four years and replaced:

Crank angle sensor  
Brake switch on pedal  
Drive shaft bearing  
Control unit for power windows/defroster failed (I rigged it up so I could close the windows)  
Random engine gaskets  
Rear springs were both broken  
…and tons of random little things
