I don't know about that. Every time I had to drive another car and then
drove my beamer I would fall in love with it all over again. You can
feel the difference. I have a 5 series BMW and I am in the process of
switching to an A4. When I drove the A4 I loved it. But then when I got
back to my car, I loved my car even more! I felt more solid on the
ground in my car, more confident and safer. For my beamer acceleration
was better than the A4. Handling was not as good as the A4 but that's
understandable b/c of the quattro (both were excellent), and my car was
much more luxurious. But, there was a feeling in the Audi I didn't feel
in my car: it felt cozy! it felt nice and I didn't know what it was. My
car is more comfortable but when I get behind the wheel I feel like I
have to awaken all my senses so I can drive in a way aggressive enough
to live up to BMW's reputation as a sports luxury (and I do and its
fun!). But in the Audi I felt more relaxed and "homey". I haven't bought
the audi yet as I am not sure if I should get a 1.8T and chip it or a
2.8. I know it has to be quattro and an A4 because I don't like the way
the A6 feels and looks (no insult meant to A6 owners! ). Until then I
would have a preference for my car (but only a small one!). After I buy
the A4 maybe I will change my mind.On the other hand, maybe I feel that
way because I am comparing a 5 series to an A4 when I should be
comparing it to an A6.

Re: where does Audi fit?
BMW sucks bad in comparison to my test driving 4 and
6 series. Audis are *very* good in performance -that's what I look
for- and my V8 Quattro kicks *** and does not look like a sleazy
gangster car.

6 series. Audis are *very* good in performance -that's what I look
for- and my V8 Quattro kicks *** and does not look like a sleazy

I dont know where u live but here its actually the MB that looks like a
gangster car. BMW is nowhere close to resembling a gansgter car. Audi on
the other hand is for some reason undervalued, and that i find
surprising. I think it is in the ranks of bmw and mb, but ppl here think
its a notch lower.
