Really?

In my experience both are pretty bulletproof. It's the accessory parts on
the 5 that will frustrate the hell out of you.

If I were buying a car to drive, I'd probably buy the coupe. If I were
buying a car to keep, no question it would be a 2.8L A6. Boring maybe, but a
lot less to maintain...
