At Hilton Head BMW, one of our greatest pleasures is to show drivers what it means to drive like a VIP.
When you’re cruising around Hilton Head, Hardeeville, or Bluffton, SC, don’t you want top-of-the-line convenience and power that thrills? What about the peace of mind of an intelligent safety system?
The 2021 BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 aim to deliver these VIP qualities. We’re here to show you which one hits the mark.
The Audi model is often recognized as a formidable luxury sport sedan. It has an available 3.0L TFSI® V6 engine with turbo power and a highly responsive throttle. Such features allow the sedan to kick up 335 horsepower without breaking a sweat.
There’s no doubt that the sedan’s 6-cylinder motor provides a thrilling experience for your daily drives, but how does it compare to the 5 Series trims?
BMW takes “sport” to the next level with its M550i xDrive trim. This sedan upgrades the V6 to a brawnier V8. Thanks to TwinPower Turbo, it yields 523 horsepower.
Ultimately, you’ll have a great view of the Audi A6 in the BMW 5 Series—it’ll just be in your rear view.

These broad, color touchscreens are the focal point of the cockpit. In the BMW 5 Series, you have the iDrive 7.0 operating system; in the Audi A6, you have the MMI® touch response system.
Both connect the car to your mobile devices with integration via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto. You can stream music, podcasts, and even connect with navigation to ensure you make it to your destination as quickly and enjoyably as possible.
The BMW 5 Series adds in an extra touch with the Connected Package Professional. Available Concierge Services will respond to your queries. This package can even help you find street parking in a crowded city.

Cars these advanced need to go the extra mile to keep you safe. That’s the bottom line.
Fortunately, both the 5 Series and A6 offer driver-assisting safety features to monitor and respond to road hazards for you. Frontal Collision Warning, Active Blind Spot Detection, and Lane Departure Warning are just a few of the driver-assisting features available.
While smart safety is quite similar between these cars, the BMW 5 Series provides a nice bonus. It has Fatigue & Focus Alert that keeps watch of how you’re feeling by monitoring driving patterns. This highly personal feature is just one of the ways BMW goes the extra mile to protect you.
If you’re chasing that “very important” feeling, you’ll find just what you need in the BMW 5 Series. While the Audi A6 comes close to achieving this experience, it repeatedly falls shorts.
Of course, at Hilton Head BMW, you’ll be more than just a VIP; you’ll be a VID: Very Important Driver.
