my response.



let's see what you guys come up with.

Jalopnik already did this, and some of the ones on there are the end-alls.

This wins

Just cooked this up:

The last quote i saw for a VAG alternator was over 500 dollars, for just parts..... so, no.

Jalopnik had some good responses.

Linky

News to me, the one for my dad's was $167. Of course it was free though under warranty, just like his oil changes.

My favorite of the bunch.

(sorry, i don't have photoshop and even if I did I wouldn't even know how to draw a rhombus like a bitch*)

*p-a

Agreed. It's very fitting.

I just did another. Although it's not fair because of LMP1 vs GT2 - but BMW should have a LMP1.

Realistically they only really passed them 216 times, because as a team once the lead car passes that's 1 then the other does the same and for the team it's still once. But I still find it funny.

^^bmw's response

Both BMWs retired from the 12 hours of Sebring, btw.

I'd rather not, seeing as I'm biased against VAG, and this sounds like the work I do for my Creative Executions class. If I really go into it, I'd probably end up spending a week looking at all the creative factors, writing a copy platform, etc...so I just won't.

Also Mustang, I don't think the creative firm would want to go back and recycle the whole winning at LeMans idea in almost exactly the same way they've used it before.

Here would be my response.



Full Stop!

^ Wow, that's... fucking awesome.

lol, you should put BMW's Munich HQ in the explosion...

Quick MSPaint Job :)

lol @ fiber.

BMW-Sauber/BMW Williams has never finished First in Formula 1

Dont you mean lawn darts? Third Gen FTW though lol.

Yeah, except the BMW 1-2 at CANADA IN MONTREAL...... you know, the PLACE YOU KIND OF LIVE BY?

Looks like Audi's interested in responding.

Wow moe, your flagrant hatred of VAG is worse than fanboying it.

For mechanical reasons, right? That's why it's a good statement. Sebring/Le Mans is about finishing.


Oh damn, because i was on my way to pitch this to Audi right now until I read this. It's just for kicks, don't declare you're not going to make one and then say mine is too much like a popular ad campaign - of course it is, that's why i did it.

Not as long as your still a blatant R32 whore.



I don't understand why you're so aggressive on every little comment. I've noticed it across the forums. I was just pointing out that it was, it wasn't a critical comment.

You come into my house. You insult my family?


Maybe I just read it wrong?

Possibly, sorry about it anyway bud.

Don't be. I'm being a dick, i've been conditioned by offtopic.com. I wouldn't react that way in person, so that's sums it up.

Moe, I am in love with that BMW M1, but let's face it, that BM cannot hold a stick to the R8, nothing BMW makes can.
The next best step for them would be to get the racing side of things involved.
Sorry, but AUDI R8 BMW M3. And that's fact, not just 'cause I'm a(quote moe "VAG whore")

you do realize that Audi R8 is not in 'competition' to the M3? a proper comparison would be the RS4...

M5 needs a refresh to outdo the R8 5.2 FSI

edit: the M5 has a higher top speed if the limiters are removed on both...

So what's the basis of being better? Acceleration, top speed, 'Ring time????

BMW has the M6 competition package. It's kind of a sledgehammer to Audi's scalpel, but it's there.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Fucking. Win.

End thread.

It would be M5 vs RS6, no?

I meant in terms of overall standings at the end of the racing season

The M6 is overkill, something BMW has been doing for a while (X6, X6M). I'm not saying this because of any conscious/subconscious bias but it really is. Why waste an extra $15,000 when you can get a perfectly capable vehicle in the BMW M5, or an even more sensible choice in the BMW M3 Sedan/Coupe.

^ Right, but technically the M5's competition from Audi is the RS6. Also the Competition Package isn't available on the M5...yet...

The closest real "competition" to the R8 would have been the Z8 if were still being produced and if it were so it would be a big fat failure compared to the R8.

NOTHING in BMW's product line comes even close to the brilliance of the R8. The best of Audi > best of BMW. The M6 is a fat load of bollocks.

I am tired of seeing the hoard of beemers here...its a brand that is diluting imo. X5M and X6M...cmon.

^ Have you read DR's shootout between the 911 Turbo, R8, and M6 Competition? It's definitely in the same league as the R8, just a very different approach to the performance car segment. DR pretty much said the M6's undoing isn't the R8, but the M3...the fact that it costs several thousands less, and is absolutely brilliant.

I did actually read DR's review, and it isn't enough to change my views on the car. Imo, the M6 looks truly ghastly...in any dream or reality, I'd rather have the M5...more practical and easier to live with.

Although, I do agree that the M3 is a very competent car. I love it. But in comparison between BMW vs Audi, I'd rather drive the R8. Given the money parameters...M3 please.

Fair enough, I'd take the R8 too. I'm not being Anti-Vag here, I'm just pointing out that BMW does have sufficient firepower to match the R8 in its arsenal. It just goes about it in a completely different manner.

someone add a poll to this thread...lets have a brand war between Audi and BMW.

update:

Oh snaps

There wont be a competition pack for the M5. The last thing they did was put the new idrive in it last year and thats the end of the E60 M5 (end the V10 )

It took Audi and Cadillac 4 years to catch to the M5. They've started work on the new one already. Going to knock the competition back to the stone age like the last 30 years, but Cadi, Benz and especially Audi are getting better. Though the RS6 weighs 200kg more than the current M5. Offcourse you can't really beat the laws of physics, they're sedans in end... blablabla
