To put it simply!!! If someone gave me an audi for free i aould sell it and buy a bmw!!
I have an e 60 and i drove an a6 , but believe me, the e60 is in the future as plesure of driving, handeling,emotion!! The audi is just plain dull!!
So i dont give a dime about what car magazines are saying, i'm doing my own comparo!! And for sure i can tell you BMW > Audi!!

I really like that coupe in red! I mean the car looks great, why would they put it in an Audi ad? Still R8 V10 is THE car I would like to own, waiting for BMWs production response for that one.

Welll.........

The Audi A4 sedan has 4 variations(A4 2.0, A4 3.2, S4, RS4)
When the comparison was made between the S4 and the BMW 335i, BMW only had 3 sedan variations(328, 335, M3)
So technically the comparison was off because Audi had filled the gap between the RS4 and the A4 3.2 with the S4. Now if Inside Line would test BMW's new version of the 335is than there would be a fair fight.

Audi's are nice cars though not better than BMWs. The only 2 up that Audi has is the Q5 and the R8. All the rest are GAAAAABAGE. lol

I gotta give respect to audi for the R8, although its not all that original (essentially a detuned gallardo), the R8 has turned audi around, as it is the first of more aggressive and IMHO better looking line of cars, and with the R8, it wins some bragging rights as have a legitimate supercar, and has people talking about the brand... if only BMW would do the same... i would die very happy

First i was like then i

Audis are crap, no wonder they need to make such commercials. would never buy an audi, at the moment they have not ONE car that can be called sportscar or that has a drivingfeel close to it. they are just good for safety and for some to make them believe they can show off. actually noone except audifanboys turns a head after an audi.

You know the one that showed a BMW sitting there with a pretty bow on top (like the lexus commercials) and then the bow gets blown off?

BTW, I like Audi's, the new S4 I think is a great car.
The most annoying thing about both BMW and Audi is the ridiculous prices they charge for "options" that come standard on many $20,000 cars.

Maybe BMW can have an ad for the 335i that says: "The HPHP will probably fail, but what the hell. nobody's perfect"

I've owned Audi's, Porsche's, Alfa's and Volvo's. Give me my 135i anyday. But BMW needs to continue to address the enthusiast market and introduce a competitor to the
R8.

I'd like to see an ad with an M3 tearing it up at Nurburgring, stop, and have Jason Statham come out and say, "Audi is for fookin' wankers, In real life I drive the Ultimate Driving Machine." I think that would be a one up for Bimmer in answer to these ads. And everybody please lighten up. I would drive a Mercedes,Audi,Porsche, and even the new Volkswagons are nice. Just don't try to take my 135i away from me.......

Does anybody remember the superbowl ad from a few years back where Jason Statham was driving a bunch of 10-15 year old BMWs, and MBs and then he got into a new Audi and liked it.

And then Audi said hey, were better...than 10 and 15 year old cars.

But seriously. Audis are very nice cars, a little bland, but definently nice to drive.

I really wanted an RS4 back in the day. Hell I still want one, I actually like them better than the E90 M3.

Too bad they switched places on the Cool Wall. I really dont want to be seen as a cock. Howd you M3 drivers deal with it for so long?

audi's looks nice, that's about it.

on a side note: wondering why audi didn't choose the color beige for the bmw. The red coupe looked nice.

That's not what the ad said, at least not what you were supposed to take of it. I think it actually delivered it's intended message very well. The ad said that there was an era where BMW was king, Lexus, Mercedes. Now it Audi. (not my opinion, I'm just saying what the ad said )

they would use the most boring looking 335i EVER for their commercial.
BTW the S4 is gorgeous.
