BMW vs Audi
Maybe u have already talked about it, but I'm new here and I'd like to hear your opinions about this...
Seeing motors-look/image of Audi and BMW, which of these is the best (... sorry for my english....) ?
I think BMW has got a look very younger (3 series) and "sprinter...(!)" than Audi...
BMW's motors are most fast (I'm talking of 0-100 km/h too) than the Audi, right? Diesels too...
Anyway, here in italy a lot of people says that Audi rulez.... what do u think?
ciao

Yeh there were already quite a lot of discussions about that and usually also Merc is considered... between Audi and BMW for me it would be very hard... I drive a BMW and I'm superhappy with it.. and I love Bangle's styling on the new models too... but Audis are great quality too, and the quattro AWD system is sure better than the one by BMW...
But well, older Bimmers like the 2002 are way more charming then old Audis maybe... but shit there is the original Audi Quattro!!! And both brands are successfull in racing..
Well, if I have to choose one, it would be BMW, but Audi is very very close!

Audis Quattro Plus makes it a far superior handling car than BMW or Mercedes.....a steering wheel design is irrelevant

It all comes down to opinion and what I am saying is just that, but in reply to Chris Bangles new designs......"YOU DONT FIX WHAT AIN'T BROKE," I believe he ruined BMWs look, and now Mercedes and Audi are pulling far ahead in the market. I know of 3 BMW owners who have already resorted to buying new model Mercedes and Audis over the new BMWs. None the less the mid 90s and old E30s are beautiful, but why in the hell would anyone trust the guy who use to design for Fiat.... (Fiat is a good car, dont get me wrong, but not the prettiest by any stretch of the imagination)

VW and Audi are one in the same (VW owns Audi - Lambo....etc).....Passat is actually a higher end model considering it comes with a W8 in most cases and the A4 usually only has a 1.8T or 3.0 as of recently. Audi simply brings luxury and unmatchable handling.

BMW is fading fast.....sorry to say it.....performance is still there, but the styling that use to make it the buy over Merc and Audi is falling shorter than ever.

not really, i like the new designs, especially the 6 series. Also we seem to forget what the McLaren F1 is powered by.

I'm a die hard 3 series fan/owner/driver cuz it's just so much easier and more fun to power out of a corner tail-out in a bmw than an audi.
if I wanted a quick 4wd car for snow purposes, I'd get a WRX/STI or Evo8.
if I were to get a luxury snow weather car, then I'd get an Audi,
Actually, if I were to drive in snow, I'd get a 4wd Expedition SUV so I can drive over snow mounds and not get stuck.
