Audi & BMW are two of the most highly regarded luxury performance German auto manufacturers in the Hoffman Estates area. That means that their line-ups are frequently compared by buyers interested in sporty coupes, sedans, & hatchbacks that look as good as they feel behind the wheel.
The Audi A7 is one of the most gorgeous you can find anywhere, & is still easier on the wallet than equivalent BMW models, leaving you extra money to spend on other experiences. In this review, we'll be comparing the 2017 Audi A7 Prestige -- starting at $71,350 MSRP -- to the 2017 BMW 640i Coupe, which starts at $77,600 MSRP.
2017 Audi A7 vs. 2017 BMW 640i: Specs & Performance
Both Audi & BMW have built reputations for themselves as superb driving machines; smooth as silk, quick off the starting line, & highly responsive to every turn of the wheel. That being said, we believe that the ride quality of the new Audi A7 is superior, in addition to being quicker & more efficient. Furthermore, Audi Drive Select allows drivers to choose their preferred throttle, transmission, & steering response from four different settings.

2017 Audi A7 vs. 2017 BMW 640i: Interior & Design
The BMW 640i is a true two-door, four-seat coupe. However, the Audi A7 has the elegant sloping roofline of a coupe, but the spacious rear passenger & cargo areas of a hatchback. It's comfier, roomier, & has more impressive user features as well.
