AUDI A6 4,2 against BMW 550i:
Full pipe of because of load donkeys: The two clearly over 300 HP of strong combinations AUDI A6 Avant 4,2 Quattro and BMWS 550i Touring are much to luxurioes, nobly and strongly for schnoede tasks of transportation. Luxury combinations are representatives of the upper middle class, who under-feed the practical combination advantages with high Leistungspotenzial and fine equipment. All BMW brings in front with that to 367 HP strong Touring a strong piece on the road. It has again 32 HP more achievement than its direct competitor AUDI A6 Avant 4,2, whose eight-cylinder aggregate brings its smaller achievement however over a traction-strong all-wheel drive on the runway. There is the BMW 550i however only with rear-wheel drive. Neither with the basic price nor in the equipment do both the pain. Also a few Kreuzchen in the option list rises the price clearly over 70.000 euro. But the two spaceships are in the best way prepared for air in the upper house. The betoerende smell genuine wood served also at Noblesse accustomed senses, polished by heavy leather and the noble gloss of. The AUDI even still somewhat more than the BMWS: The fine aluminum frameworks, the fuller key clicking and the airier space offer are for the feeling, the higher additional load, the more variable loading space and the plus at luggage capacity for the understanding. The interior fuenfer is hardly less well finished, but more sober and not so roomy. Besides nervt the plastic case space cover, which pushes itself after each opening procedure of the rear flap like a camouflage cap before the back window and there also after the locking persistently stayed. The Touring in the safety chapter with two-stage collects pluses belt meet far from and buegelgriffen. But the operation of the AUDI goes particularly remaining faster for experienced drivers than in the BMW nevertheless also in the A6 ergonomic annoyances like the pedantic seat heating and the missing single CD slot in the center console. Handling advantages treated for the BMW of the 550i strongly ondulierten underground somewhat hemdsaermelig and tautly. Its standard combination of stealing and pneumatic cushioning takes also in the comfort attitude of the dynamic drive chassis impact hole attacks more sportily in principle. Wages of the knackigeren tuning are together with the precise steering element a very agiles handling, little Wankneigung and the feeling to pilotieren a clearly more compact car. BMW esp acts besides more frequently, but evenly than in the A6, which intervenes later, but then more strongly. The AUDI does not give itself so much trouble to hide its nearly two tons and particularly floats in the comfort position of its optional pneumatic cushioning with elegance over dirt roads. This more carried handling leads also in the mechanism attitude of the suspension to noticeable body fluctuations around the longitudinal axis. Handling Fetischisten already do not find because of the somewhat more indirect steering element in the Avant their completely large luck. But they rise after hundreds of kilometers a trace more relaxed from their five meter Trumm. The A6-Motor is isolated regarded likewise pours to the joy. With strammen calves the Fuenfventiler pretightens its passengers bullig. The strength distributes thereby a Torsen in the middle Differenzial of the slip steered evenly on front and rear axle. The fact that the particularly briefly building 4,2-Liter obenrum something goes out air becomes only with transferred in the BMWS at present. The 4,8-Liter-V8 drives itself with a binding ease. As loosely the 550i start and as easy it lets its crankshaft up to 7.000 routes rotate, however highest engine construction art documents. Hardly clouded of the somewhat too hectically acting six-course mechanism. In addition the fuenfer a half clay/tone situation sounds higher and more biting than the AUDI. An emotional Dopingpaket for fans of beherzter driving fashion - however only with dryness. Because wetness puts traction control with automatic achievement reduction over the road, fights for Grip. The felt dynamics sink on the level of a Einser, while the all-wheel-driven AUDI brings now proudly its giant radiator into the poles to position.
