@Kyle,

Audi A3 probably did copy BMW’s tail lights because the 3 Series coupe was based on E65 7 Series second generation, which came out in late 2005!

It didn’t copy A3! ^^

Meticulous driver often hunt for gadgets and higher specification found in an Audi.

Demure driver commonly seen in a Mercedes.

Driver in BMW are usually having joy in style but BMW stereotype is definitely victim of its own success.

As Clarkson put it, they could put BMW logo on a piece of sh*t and people will still buy it. ~ But, that was last year. (He labeled BMW uncool because too many peoples put a M3 badge on a 318i) ………. This year : Clarkson said in the latest Top gear series “people tailgate you on road are buying Audi…really cock ……” and …… “Last year, only cock would buy a BMW…, but now you are cock if you don’t buy one.” ~ This explains everything.

Very funny. Remember, pathetic mercedes and audi: BMW IS THE KING.
LONG LIVE THE KING!

There’s no company in the world that is able to produce such ideal cars as BMW does. I wouldn’t even change a BMW 5-Series tyre with e-classes, a4s and other suchlike shit that mercedes and audi produce. BMW is for the noble while mercedes and audi are for half-dead people.

@mpower:

If you are referring to Audi copying BMW’s tail lights.
Think Again.

The A3 tail lights were out before the 3 series coupe.

I was kinda disappointed when BMW announced the M versions of the X5 & X6, but now I see the reasoning. They are a relatively small car company that does not fall under a parent company. They need to make money to stay in business. Audi, however, is an arm of the world’s largest company. I don’t think it’s a surprise the Audi will soon be overtaking BMW and Mercedes, but they make it sound like it is a level playing field. I mean, Audi shares engines with VW – that’s a huge advantage for cost. And I’m sure they are sharing lots of other things. Bold statement, but it doesn’t make me want to buy an A4. Those new A4′s are ugly.

@Auday Hussein: I disagree on a few points…
The BMW logo means nothing to BMW at the mo, their cars gets more flack nowadays than Robert Mugabe -and for what? For thinking out of the box. For daring to leave the past behind and reshape the future.
BMW quality is actually going up.
BMW design is followed by many -they’re reshaping car design and getting flack for it.
BMW cars are still the sportiest luxury choice out there -just read any auto mag.
In stead of getting stale and long in the tooth, they’re coming up with new and innovative ideas… etc etc

I’m getting so sick of this new trend. When ever the name BMW is used, it usally gets taged with building cars no one wants, persuing proffits in stead of building sports cars, designs that no one gets… on and on!

I would have loved to hear you if BMW never progressed since the 90s – you know, the era when BMW still made great cars. If they still looked the same, drove the same, 3, 5 and 7 series, nothing new, nothing fresh. Oh, then they would have been taged as boring and going nowere.

Now they’re at the for front of design and enginering. They’re successful and people hate them for that. It’s time for the under dog to get recognised. Bring on Audi.

Oh, they just do everything right. The little darlings are just adored for following in BMWs footsteps.

Rant over… for now.

@Giom, what Matski said :)

Victim as being so good and so successfull in making good cars and building good reputation that they dont care about it anymore. As Clarkson put it, they could put BMW logo on a piece of sh*t and people will still buy it.
BMW quality is going down, design is becoming worst and getting away from the essence of the agile sport car, sporty driver oriented feeling down (still better than the competitors but they are catching up),… and the model selection is going far from the original direction into …hmmm. 5GT and X5M nonsense. BMW has nothing to prove and they are not trying , Audi has everything to prove and they are getting there.

@Auday Hussein: I agree, BMW is a victim of its own success. But define 'victim'. They were doing very well before the economic slump -only to be really hurt by residuals. Their cars are still class leaders in most areas. They might be called 'victim' because they sell so many cars. Now Audi wants to sell more cars (and boast about it), so where is that going? Interesting this numbers game.

@Carlos Perez: I have to give them this, the Audi is still not even comparable to the VW, it's in a total different class. Yes, they might share some parts or platforms, but it's a whole different game. I also believe that the competition between BMW and Audi can only be beneficial for us, it will challenge them more and we will benefit from it.

Simple Driving and audi, VW or a Seat, especially in the A3, Golf and the leon is exactly the same,and not just the driving but the feeling in general if the car, if you buy and audi you r really buying and overpriced VW so, there’s no way audi could be better than BMW

@Auday Hussein: R8 is a nice all-rounder but man, the Vantage is just hot. If it were up to me, I'd take the Vantage on exhaust note alone.

I wouldn’t be surprised, …. BMW is becoming the victim of its own success. While Audi is working hard to catch up in the game of quality and brand recognition, BMW is just focusing on what makes more money and what sells at the moment risking losing it’s image as a focused driver’s oriented special car.

Mercedes went this root (sacrificing quality for variation and quantity) before and look where they are now, BMW is following and I expect them to start seeing the outcome of their revenue oriented policy soon.

I’ve been a loyal BMW fan since I was 6, and I own 3 BMWs now (2 M cars) but honestly my next car will either be a much older BMW or something new with a pure sport feeling maybe a Vantage, or an R8.

@Mauro Corti: I wouldn’t say Audi look better than the 3 Series. In fact, I think the A4 is a very bloated, poorly desinged car. The 3 Series is a very iconic sports car design, which the A4 cannot even compete in. Many customers are amazed by the progress of Audi’s and yes, they do make some good looking cars like the R8 and A5. Butif you put the 3 next to the A4, do you really think the A4 is better looking? If you put the A3 convertible next to the 1 Series, do you really think the A3 looks better? Put the TT next to the Z4. Put the 5 Series next to the A6. My point is that many are over-reacting to Audi’s tremendous progress and falsely thinking that it is a better car… because it is definately still miles behind the pedigree of BMW and MB. All you have to do is open the bonnet of the cr and take a look at the VW parts, start the diesel engine and listen to the lack of refinement and clatter noise as compared to BMW’s silky smooth engine, push the car around corners a bit and feel the poor handling.

As for your choice of the A4 over the 3 Series, I’ve already mentioned the lack of refinement, design, what about Efficient Dynamics? Audi tech is so old and they contemplate most of teh time how to cut cost to make most profit per car. Do you really think the interior is better than the 3 Series interior, go check out the materials used on the 3 and A4. The last time I checked, A4 has so much cheap plastics in between that I would have thought that I was in a Polo or Golf! Do you think it handles better than the 3? That heavier steering feel that the A4 has is just a bluff, there’s no road communication, whatsoever, they jsut made it stiffer and heavier – like stuffing it with a pillow!
