Maintenance and reliability issues make them both terrible cars to own.

I'd never buy a BMW 3 series. You're paying german made BMW prices for American quality.

Both will be a maintenance heavy and a money pit. Kids are terrible drivers as well. They wont be able to keep it for long.

I've owned both and the only thing that is worse than a BMW is an Audi.

Can you talk him into an Acura or Honda or Lexus or Toyota?

He's a a damn teenager. You shouldn't have to talk him into anything. You're the damn parent. Just give him the car you want him to have.

You'd be dumb to buy either.

Honda Civic. He's a fricking teenager.

can't comment on the bmw but be careful with the audi if it has the 2.0T engine, they had major oil consumption issues from 2008-2012, google audi a4 2.0T oil consumption for more info, audi has since fixed the engine problem,
my son got a black on black 2015 A4 2.0T Quatro S-line, he loves it, and as dabigfella stated it is a chick car according to my son, err chick magnet...

Why would you give a teenager a BMW or Audi in the first place?

If he wants a sports car and somehow persuaded you to get him one, get an IS 250.

I have a three-series. Great car but it's expensive to keep up outside of warranty and even the base model has a little bit more power than I'd trust a teenager with.

Your money and your kid, though. BMWs are better cars than Audis in general. And the 3-series is the company's bread and butter. It's far better than the A4.

I have a 12 audi q5 with 70,000. Im wondering when all these maintenance problems will pop up, because I have had none.

I also have not had the oil consumption issue somebody talked about.

I have done nothing but the regular maintenence schedule. Dont get me wrong it would be expensive if stuff broke, but i havent had anything break.

Now all that being said, i wouldnt give a teenager a german sports sedan. Teenagers never take care of cars and you dont want him tearing it up. That would be expensive.

But him something he can tear up, not keep clean, or can dent up, for a first car.
