Andreas if you believe that i 'm trying to bash BMW you are wrong. I 'm just saying that everything in life has it's possitive and negative aspects. Same goes for 50:50 , 60:40 or 40:60 weight distributions. All have their positives and negatives.

BTW if someone wants an Audi with nearly 50:50 weight distribution he can get a Q7 or an R8 with 44:56 weight distribution.

I thought the R8 had a 49:51 weight distribution..

For example the 5 series had trouble passing the moose test when fully loaded:

Ideal for performance driving. For dodling along the streets, it doesn't matter *** the weight bias is. Ever wondered why Audi is spending millions to develop the new clutch and transmission to give a better weight distribution.

Re: Audi A5 Official Pictures
Sorry for moving your guys' posts to a new thread, but they had veered off from the A5 discussion, now you can argue all you want though.
