-They really disliked the flot bottom R8 steering wheel. Minus 1 for all the Audi interior lovers...
-M3 high speed stability is "on par with Alcatraz during a heavy gale"
-M3 had the best steering response in the wet
-Hold your breath... $68k BASE PRICE (estimated). Not looking good on this point


Blame the American Dollar for this one.... You guys should see the bloodlust in Canada now that our currency is even and we are paying much more money than our neighbours for the same car!

BMW AG needs to make money from BMWUSA but doesn't want to raise prices because they will lose marketshare.....

We are but pawns in a bigger game.
