Pretty sweet!

I got a similar invitation when the E90 came out... a friend and I had a blast with various 325i/330i models around in a mini-track (where they do the entry level BMW driving courses).

They probably will. I reckon they will just stick crap tyres on the audi, and have one with a rubbish colour scheme and make the suspension ride harsh.

Oh, c'mon ...

Quattro is very good. Bot not unbeatable.

With the tech development going on, BMW & MB are catching Audi on 4WD, Audi & MB catching BMW on performance, Audi & BMW catching MB on tech, ...

Regarding xDrive vs. Quattro: just wait for a few months when E70 X5 comes out ... A shock is expected ...
