This is a really stupid thread.  It seems that some people here have an
inferiority complex driving their Audis and would rather have a BMW.

Audi as a company (along with VW and all of its conglomerates) builds
cars of world class qualiy and performance.  They do not take a back seat
to BMW.  Differences between the marques merely reflect the design philosophy
and marketing focus.  BMWs are made to squeeze that last drop of performance
out of ideal track conditions (at least they are marketed as such).  However,
Audis reign supreme in real world situations.  You pick your car for
the street based on your preference, but it is pointless to say that
BMWs are "better" than Audi, or that Audi is behind BMWs in technology...
That's total baloney.
