RE: 2001 M3 - light relief

["Greg and Gill Spark" <sparkg@wave.co.nz>]

Cars are like ice creams - buy and drive the flavour you like most and can
afford - the only bottom line is to enjoy it to the fullest - any argument
along the lines of "my audi's better than your beemer" - "nah its not - my
beemer's better" - all gets rather tiresome and pointless.

As far as Bobs assertion that "Audi is usually a few years behind the
leapfrog" goes - excuse me?? - who's in front in a leapfrog race has always
been really hard to figure out from where I sit :) - refer to first
paragraph for answer.

Cheers and enjoy your car - I do - but then it IS an Audi!!

I like BMW as well, but Im not sure they are 'amazing' and always has been
etc...  just like all other mfrs, theyve made some real crap too. However
when it comes to acceleration, handling and braking, not too many cars can
keep up with them.  The new s4 beats the old m3... lets just hope the next
generation s4 beats the new m3. Audi is usually a few years behind the
leapfrog.  OTOH fit and finish on a BMW is atrocios...always has been and
probably always will be :) That is compared to audi..
