The track record is very clear for us. 2 BMW (2015 and 2018)and 1 Mini Countryman (2018) on the BMW UKL platform with BMW powertrain, all delivered with no issues and one BMW developed one rattle. That's it. Compare to the Audi list I posted above.
As to the trans, it may or may not be the same trans, but the behaviors couldn't be more different, which may be the vehicle adaptation by the individual manufacturer/engineering team. For fuel economy, Audi appears to want to stuff several upshifts into the acceleration before reaching 30mph, and they are not well executed. The trans in the Mini Countryman and the 3 Series are seamless and slick...beautiful automatics. The Audi is a surging mess, and the techs who drove it confirmed the problem but said for the 2016+ A6, there is no fix.
Some with older Audis may have had better outcomes, but our 2016 A6 is a basketcase, and given the lack of support from Audi, I can see no reason to ever consider that brand again. Based on quality alone, I'd take another BMW without reservations.
