both are unreliable and i wouldnt pick either, but if you really really have to with a gun to your head, pick the BMW. The VW is an overglorified entry level car. BMW costs more but at least you do get what you pay for in performance and other areas. Even the VW golf is an overglorified hatchback.

Audi is basically an overglorified VW, so you're buying an overglorified overglorified entry level car

both the audi and bmw have a lot of parts. The trick with the VW group is that the parts are the same, only different branding. So most of the time you will be able to find a VW part that is the same as the part you need. Not many know this but for porsche owners can help them save a bundle.

For BMW you do have a lot of parts, but its the same as VW only BMW doesnt have another brand for their parts. For both brands you can find aftermarket parts as well. the problem with BMW is that they use plastic inside so things like pipes and such, so make sure you inspect and replace before you get a catastrophic failure. Ideally you can replace with OEM metal parts for things like pipes but for cooling systems or similar, i would becareful about using metal pipes since plastic might be used here to avoid reactivity with the chemical based fluids, but also means that you need to be vigilant to replace the plastic every 5 years. Thats why chemical battery cases are plastic otherwise the acid/salt will wreak havoc with the metal.

You can also get parts for BMW from recycling where the car is torn down into parts to be recycled, and its here you will see just so much plastic comes from the engine bay. BMWs are plastic.

Thats why unless you have a gun to your head, dont pick either.

that would make it much more difficult to obtain official parts if there isnt VW in malaysia. Audi is owned by VW so you dont need Audi to be in malaysia.
