+1. Ever since he took over, its gone from bad to worse to not so bad. When "not so bad" is your design goal, you know you have problems.

Apparently, it is you.

While everyone is knocking the "Banglization" of BMW, it appears other manufacturers are knocking it off....i.e. Mercedes, Acura, Lexus, etc.

I will take BMW quality over Audi anyday.

Gentlemen....start your screaming.

If I had a like new B6 or new B7 S4 sitting in front of me and had to choose one of them over a new 335i I'd still choose the Audi honestly..

Not that Im saying I dont LOVE the 335i's that are badass and look amazing with a drop and wheels, Id love to own one! but given the option of the two, I'd pick the Audi...


maybe thats just me though..

(Im a sucker for a V8 also lol)

Still love my B6 S4. Not all that hot looking - but it makes for a great daily.

The new S5 looks light years better than the new 3 Series coupes IMO - inside and out.

Totally agree. An E46 M3 is fantastic looking, but today - they look like absolute garbage. I am actually quite surprised they are selling so well.

looks audi is killer and performance isnt all that bad to tell you the truth they are still doing great in the super sedan scene and now sports car scene with cars like r8, s5, rs4, s4. IMHO i think they are doing just fine, compared to m5, 3, etc i had lots more fun driving the audis.

just had an s5 ad r8 look in the upcoming issues of EC

Yes, I am dissapointed by the new body designs of all the BMW series and also what is going on with the new C class?? Must admit that I am suprised by Cadillac.
