Audi A5 and BMW 3 Series Coupes - which one should I go for?

I am about to replace my Audi A3 TSI Sportback Quattro with one of above. Prices appear similar. Any recommendation, please?

Both nice cars. Both very good looking. Audi arguably the better looking. But the BMW has better accommodation in the back seats (surprisingly comfortable), and I think a slightly bigger boot. All the BMW engines are chain cam. Only the V6 diesel and Audi petrol engines are.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
