X-drive system is totally different in concept to the Audi quattro and superior handling wise and especially in the dry. Saying why did BMW introduce 4x4 models is like saying why does Audi try and move the engine further back to improve weight distribution since BMW has already achieved 50:50.
And as far as DSG is concerned it is not an entirely new concept because similar systems have been used in some rally cars of the past. Also I am not 100% on this but my dealer tells me DCT is quite different from DSG.
On the innovations front Audi comes a firm third and if my money had to be on it I would probably say the MB is the leader.
p.s. there also rumors circulating in the car world that Audi is going to move to RWD just like Alfa Romeo and Honda are about to do with their premium models....

First, unless this is suddenly a private forum I don't see what is your issue with anyboby that contributes -not taking anything from- in here, regardless of the car owned.
Second, you sure have a lot of
less-than-100%-facts in your "rebuttal" to be in a position to be arguing with
anybody.
Third, I like that new iDrive interface.
