Wow, first time I've seen this. Clearly the M3 is the best.

BTW, what did you guys expect... every company is guilty of this type of shameless marketing tactics. That is the nature of marketing.

They say pioneered, not invented... which is far from the same thing. You're looking too much into it.

Audi say they pioneered AWD systems... while the first AWD car actually predates Audi as a company

Audi RS4: Nice car, but not a BMW.

Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG: Nice car, but not a BMW.

Porsche 911: Nice car, but not a BMW.



Got it.

Let's just say i have many thing about my car to be proud of...

I think they issue this to their sales reps and salesmen to help them explain the differences between their product and the competition. Sometimes, potential buyers really don't know the difference, except that the afformentioned cars are all "fast" and German.

This is quite funny to read, the other cars are pretty good, but the BMW's better!

I think they call this propaganda!

Re: How BMW themselves rate the competition - 07-22-2007, 09:53 PM

LOL i posted this in the brochure thread..
it blew my mind when i read it..
i thought some fan had written it..

PS
Ive seen a similar comparo by MB.. vs the A8 and the 7er..
but it was not put in words like these..it was more sientific.. with a scale..i think it was based on reviews and owners views..
but still its just another way to promote your own product..so i say dont hate the playa ..hate the game

Interesting, but fair IMO. They really don't trashy any of the competitors. The only thing is though, if BMW has to talk about everyday use when talking about the Porsche they've lost the plot. They obviously can't pick with the Porsche in any way but to mention how many seats it is has, seems like to me that says the Porsche is the better car for the enthusiast that has graduated from BMWs.
