I would have really loved to be able to cross shop BMW in the decision to buy a car like this. But I think VW's ownership of Lambo, Bentley, and Porsche is only going to add more "umph" to Audi's ability to put out a leading German supercar, while BMW is going to be playing catch-up for a while. While I have considerable faith in BMW, the fact is they don't have a sister company with the pedigree to borrow technology as Audi did - so they're inherently disadvantaged, no less putting themselves further behind willingly. |
Perhaps they should look to buy in to an exotic brand, owning a chunk of something really special might be useful. Or tie up with a manufacturer, a partnership between McLaren and BMW would be lovely to see
