Pros Cons of BMW M3

Pros

  • Strong engine power
  • Great grip from the 4x4 system
  • Big 480-litre boot space
  • Clear and bright curved screen
  • Practical rear seats for adults

Cons

  • Low ground clearance
  • No physical AC buttons
  • Polarising front grille design
  • Very expensive add-on options
  • Firm ride over bad roads

Verdict

The BMW M3 is an absolute beast on the road. While it keeps its family credentials alive and kicking, a true track car’s raw speed also lies resting within its DNA, letting you pull hard all the way to the redline. To keep you out of trouble when you’re feeling adventurous, the BMW M3’s brake bite is tremendous as well, letting you enjoy empty stretches without any second thoughts. Besides, there’s also an EV variant that could hit Indian shores by 2027, while you also need to check whether the previous models are still on retail or not.

Sure, the original's firm suspension may not be up to the mark when going through broken city streets, or the styling might not appeal to all. But those complaints lose ground when you feel how direct the sedan’s steering is, and how the car’s four-door practicality is actually non-negotiable if you're a family man. If you have the budget and want a car that can comfortably handle the daily office commute before hitting a weekend trip, there’s no point in hesitating to bring the BMW M3 home.

Pros Cons of Audi A6

Pros

  • New-Gen Tech
  • Increase In Dimensions
  • Refined Engine

Cons

  • No Diesel Engine
  • Limited Interior Storage
  • Stiff Ride Quality 

Verdict

The new 5th generation Audi A6 sedan impresses on several levels and leaves its predecessors shortcomings far behind. On the inside the A6 will truly impress as the cabin has moved up several notches on not just design, materials and gadgets, but most importantly - on comfort. The last car had a very awkward rear bench and the new A6 will pamper its rear-seat biased owners with a very comfortable bench and seatback angle. The A6 will be a credible and robust addition to the Audi sedan portfolio.
