here here ! thats a better piece of kit than any thing bmw produce , nice car mate :wink:

I disagree.
RS4 is the ONLY decent driver's car AUDI has ever produced, unlike BMW.

Are you really trying to say that the R8 is not a drivers car?

Come on Peskarik, that statement was just a bit of a rush of blood to the head wasn't it :grin:

OK, so there is R8. That's two cars.
Now, count the number of driver's cars BMW produced over the years.
It's widely acknowledged that in terms of driving, stearing, control and feel - BMW is the benchmark. (Don't mention Porsche in this context).

Besides, R8 is a totally different car from 3-series, and 5-series, and obviously 1-series, and defunct 8-series. SHould we now bring up BMW M1 to compare to R8?

Therefore, in my book, R8 does not count in this context.

The original Audi Quattro = 3, was miles ahead of any beemer in the early 80's too Peskarik. Or doesn't that count either?

The RS2 - made in conjunction with Porsche = 4

MKII Audi TT - debateable, but easily surpasses any little car that BMW have tried to make = 5

Coming soon RS5 - judgement is on hold at the mo, but it will have 450bhp and looks  :cool:

Since "Peskarik" is a Russian word for a small fish, you may be on to something!  :laugh:

I do not argue, maybe I am wrong.

The original quattro, that was ages back, forget it.

I haven't tried RS2, RS6(old one), RS4(old one), S5, TT, TTS etc, but just judging from reviews, their steering is dull, and the cars are clinical.
For me, BWD is the definition of driver's car, and 4x4 - not.  :lipsrsealed:
