* actually, this is just a photoshopped image encouraged by Audi on their facebook page as to what the response should be.

Actually that is a bit ridiculous to put an R8 in the mix.

When comparing similarly priced competitors that could be considered when shopping for a sports oriented , performance based car that looks like a car that one would find on any road in most any modern country, BMW 's Ad team has come up w, a very clever Ad campaign.

Audi putting the R8 in is just silly just as if BMW put out a photo of their F/1 car to top the R8 .          Dolph

the m5 tops the r8 no need to bring their race car in it

It would have been better if they were like "M3xA4++" except chess boards only go to H. :P

Oh yeah, and you should never mention a competitor's name in an ad. [roll]

It would be funny if someone rented it out and put a pic of a fast and the furious car with car girls and said "LOL@U2"

arguments about which car is better crack me up.    [laugh]

at least there is no question as to which ad is better. ;D

acalles

Wait...

what?

this


vs this?



compaired to S5, the M3 is make the beast with two backsing joke.

what do I get for the extra 8k the M3 costs? a buzzy engine, with less torque, no AWD and whats with the ricer hood. At least they got rid of the rear end that looked like it was trying to drop a deuce.

the E30 M3 was the last time they made a cool looking M3, they've been yuppie ricer bait since then.

While I love the S5 and would take it over the M3, here's the figures:

                Audi                                BMW
Engine      4.2 V8                              4.0 V8
HP            354                                  414
Tq            325                                  295
Weight      3858                                3704
0-60         Under 5 sec                       4.1 sec

So yeah, I like it better, but the M3 has better overall numbers...

Huh? Are you you talking about the Audi? Have you ever driven in fog? Fog lights installed from the manufacturer are aimed properly to hit the ground about 30 feet in front of the car. Why should they be banned?
