Audi, BMW, Benz

Germanfag here, I think they just have different reputations.
Audi is for people who want a nice, good car without paying a fuckton.
Mercedes is for people who want the prestige and want everyone to know they kind of have money.
BMW is mostly for old guys or turks here, has the reputation of being equally good but less classy.

turks don't buy BMW anymore. Get your facts straight faggot.

Are turks just people from turkey? Never heard much about them in the US.

bmw has always been thought of as the enthusiast brand
merc is the old man's brand, AMG is their redeeming factor
audi is just a nice vw

Mercedes is for the company boss because there's no better brand for being behind the wheel.

BMW is for his spoiled son who will either crash it and write it off on the Nordschleife or eventually sell it to a bunch of Turks.

Audi is for people who wish they could be BMW tier assholes but can't afford a BMW or have offspring to taxi around forcing them to opt for an all wheel drive family wagon.

Aren't BMW and Audi comparable in price? Is it different in Europe?

>BMW
Mostly driven by Bavarian family father's that don't want to admit that they now have to take care of responsibilities and want something sporty to drive. Older ones are driven by Turks because they're dirt cheap and they want something that gets em sideways because >MUH HIGH TESTOSTERONE
Reliability wise they're pretty meh but parts are easy to come by especially with older models.

>AUDI
It isn't a common stereotype but I've noticed that they're very popular among Franconians. They're pretty over-engineered which makes them painfully unreliable. But parts should be dirt cheap since they're basically all from VW.

>MERCEDES
Mostly driven by pensioners and half decaying corpses. Older Benz's are very reliable, don't know about newer ones. Would recommend if you don't care about image.

BMW are for people who want fun to drive cars but want a slight luxury slant. Their smaller vehicles like the 2 and 3 series are often quite reliable but bigger more complex models like the 7 series and X5 are some of the most unreliable vehicles on the face of the earth due to their over engineered designs. They're generally good cars. They're not quite as fun to drive as they used to be, Cadillac and Jaguar have temporarily stolen the handling benchmark, but they're still well rounded. If you live outside of Europe they can be expensive to maintain due to parts not being as common. They're sportier than the other German marques.

Mercedes are big secure, well engineered, generally reliable classical luxury cars. They don't handle as well as BMW nor Audi but they're still very competent nonetheless and more recent models have been coming close to parity. I personally think the new C-Class is a better driver than the 3 series. Again, just like the BMW models, smaller simpler designs are more reliable, but the higher end models aren't drastically unreliable. They're ranked very highly in terms of quality and dependability. They don't have things break very often but when things do break they're expensive to replace. Most refined and comfortable of the German brands.

Audi. Basically luxurious heavy Volkswagens with better interiors and great AWD systems. Base models are front wheel drive. If you pay extra for AWD they become amazing drivers cars but they're not as refined as the other two brands, also can't go sideways in them. They're horrendously unreliable besides the simpler I4 models. Great interior designs though the new designs seem like they're getting uglier, especially the new Q7. I actually want an A6 2.0 Quattro as a commuter but I will probably end up getting an E350 or a Lexus GS as Audi products become frustrating to maintain as they age, though I4 models nearly aren't as bad as the W12 or V8 engines.

It really just depends on what you want

Eastern Euro here:
>Beemer is epitome Russian car - lower class gangster wannabes drive Older M3/5, richer oligarchs drive 5 and X series.
>Newer Mercs are rich snob cars, older ones are are ok daily cars
>Audi's are middle class top line cars

>BMW
The most overrated brand in "sport"

>Audi
The most overrated brand in "luxury"

>Mercedes
The brand. It wipes the floor with both Audi and BMW at once. And I don't even like Mercedes.

.

BMW used the sporty enthusiast one of the lot
Merc used to be comfy luxobarge one for non-enthusiasts
and Audi has always been pimped up VW shit.

Now all three of them are indistinguishable from one another and are shit.

This coming from someone who's owned 4 bmw's and still own two.
