Thanks for posting this great video. I will never own a car like that nor will I ever get to drive on a road like that, so the closest I will get is to ride with you on YouTube. And it was just fabulous.
@FeatherGlow1 I used to think the same. About 11 years ago I became a motoring journalist and worked very hard (and took lots of driver training) so I would eventually earn the right to get invited on launches like these. Never say never - you can do this too some day!
@whannel525 I started 12 years ago by writing loads of articles and submitting them to as many publications/websites as I could. You have to be able to write first and foremost. Eventually after months of perseverance I got an article published and that was it - I was off. It took years to make a wage out of it, though, and wasn't until I was a car mag editor that the really sweet invites (such as M3) started to arrive. I've since retired but these vids bring back great memories!
@MrConorTwomey Thank you for the info. I really hope I can do the same. I can only but try. I would also like to say that I love your videos. Will there be more in the future?
@whannel525 I think so. Right now family life and a new job mean less time to play but I will post more in future and I hope they won't disappoint. Good luck with the journalism - remember, being able to write clearly, concisely and in an entertain way is the most importantant thing. There are lots of car nuts out there - set yourself apart!
@mtrauua Glad you enjoyed. I will add more eventually but not for a few months yet. I just wish I'd made more of these over the years. Some great drives (and motorbike rides) all over the world...
M3 on the Stelvio, no question. The turns are very tight so the BMW's sharper steering rack and more, um, playful rear end means you work less and smile more. It's a challenging road that needs a responsive car. You'll notice in the RS5 video (taken at the car's launch) Audi selected much wider, more open roads. That's where the RS5 shines - it's amazingly balanced and assuring in those big sweepers, even in the wet, but the Stelvio demands a different style of driving that the RS5 doesn't like.
Audi RS5 Any time all the time. BMW is good but Audi is superior. BMW is small and uncomfortable and to be honest after driving it for while i would get sick of all that ugly noise and skidding across the road, in all honesty that is unsafely of a car, if the car is skidding like that on dry roads i can only imagine how would it be on wet, down the cliff you go. Audi is comfort ride quality bigger more options looks better performs better and is for anytime all the time.
@jimpodi It's a good point. BMWs never sound great whereas Audis always make a fantastic noise. The M5 sounds like a tractor when it's cold, for example. As I said before, there's great potential in the RS5 if they just backed off the health-and-safety electronics. You can drive the M3 like a go-kart, feeding in throttle and brake as YOU see fit. But Audi doesn't seem to think its customers can manage the same feat (no pun intended)!
@richandiben Haha. I'll do my best! As you can imagine, opportunities to drive cars like these on roads like these doesn't come along too often but I'm going to get a better camera I can mount outside the car so future drives will be a little more dramatic.
@audi4myass As I think I mentioned before, I didn't love the M3 when it was launched and I still think it could use more steering feel but BMW has gradually improved it over the years (as it does with all its M cars) to the point where I don't think there are many other machines that could catch it on really challenging roads like these. It's amazing.

I like the engine sound of the RS5 better - it's more "full" and robust than the M3. But I see what you mean - the M3 I is more agile than the RS5.

@MrConorTwomey BMW M5 like an tractor? lol, the M5 is THE BEST sounding car in his segment, V10 ftw
The M3 has an epic sound but I guess it's a matter of taste. Dislike Audi

@MrConorTwomey could you say on cambered roads with tight corners that the RS5 is a faster point-to-point machine though
