Joe Achilles calls BMW M350 "Better Than Audi's RS 5"

The BMW M350 is Better Than Audi's RS 5 | 0-60 Test | New 3 Series
Joe Achilles has been asking whether he bought the right Porsche. His latest BMW review poses a different question: how does the new M350 measure up against Audi's RS 5?
His verdict is right there in the title, "The BMW M350 is Better Than Audi's RS 5 | 0-60 Test | New 3 Series". The upload has made a much faster start than his usual regular video, while views across the channel have climbed to roughly 400,000 a day, almost ten times their typical level.
The review isn't built around acceleration alone. Achilles works through the styling, running gear and interior before moving into normal driving and then pushing on. The promised 0-60 test comes later, followed by a separate section on the brakes and his conclusion.
BMW estates already have a substantial place in his channel's history. A film following his M3 Touring being built in Germany sits among his most watched regular uploads, alongside an earlier look at an M3 Touring conversion.
Meanwhile, his own Porsche ownership story is unfolding through a European road trip. Its first episode follows his Carrera T from Reims into the Alps and on to Nice, testing whether the car is everything he wanted it to be.
