This was our closest Showroom Showdown in quite some time. Lots of people around the office were predicting an easy victory for the Bimmer—mostly because of its superior hp to weight ratio—but by my count, both cars got 36 votes. So we’re calling this one a tie, folks. Ryan is pretty happy.

Many of you know that Ryan, our marketing guy, has a pretty sweet Audi A5. So for this week’s Showroom Showdown I decided to put it up against its main competitor, the BMW 335i Coupe. Both cars come in near the $40k mark. The BMW is RWD, weighs 3,571 pounds and has a twin-turbo inline 6 which produces 300hp. The Audi is AWD, weighs 3,737 pounds and has V6 which puts out 265 hp. Which would you choose?
