I think the comparisons are there between classes you just have to look deeper into BMW because they have so many different models ex:
3 series as of 2007 and up
323i/325i/328i/330i/335i
Audi 4 series
A4/S4/RS4
Audi has 3/4/5/6/8/TT/Q
BMW has 1/3/5/6/7/Z/X
See where Audi has 3 at the most models per series BMW has 3+ and BMW also has coupes and sedans.Where Audi has mostly sedans
And I really don't think the R8 is a Lambo in Audi clothing. Look at the heart of the car the engine. Its a Audi built engine, same one that is in the RS6 although it does use the same R-tronic transmission as the Lambo. I feel all cars that are super cars borrow something from the competion. Such as the new nsx. Kinda looks like a R8 no??
Do I think one is better than the other?
No I think they are better at different things
Cheers,

I don't see that BMW has more models. They have sedan and coupe variants of the 3 series, but Audi also has the A4/S4 to compete with the 3 sedan.
And they have the A5/S5 to compete with 3 series coupes.
Both brands cover this range pretty equally in terms of offerings.
The choices in N. America are different in the small car range with BMW 1 series coupes and Audi A3 hatchs.
That's going to change with the coming Audi A3 sedan, and likely no hatch. BMW is bringing a new 2 series coupe, but still won't bring the 1 series hatch.
Overall though, Audi is part of VW. And VW AG is a MUCH bigger company than BMW and offers a LOT more models all over the world.
