Re: 2001 M3 (or Audi vs. BMW?)

This response originally turned into a page length rant about how, in my
opinion, Audi can't hold a stick to BMW when it comes to performance
(acceleration, engine, handling, braking).  But I'd rather avoid the flaming
that would ensue.  So I'll just say that BMWs are very capable all-weather
cars thanks to 50/50 weight distribution and traction control.  Is the Audi
better in the snow?  No doubt.  But for the other 99% of the time, the BMW
is a lot more fun to drive.

Common misperception.  They work real well in the wet when driven by somone
who knows what they are doing.  They are much better balanced than the q's
which has some real advantages.
