Dream about WTF are you on about???
I hope Audi never becomes a brand people just buy, cuz its a Audi.....It will lead down the same path as BMW have gone down with fugly design, worse reliability and so on.....
And thats before we start to look at what kind of people alot of them who buy BMW`s are...They dont know shit about cars just buys it to get street cred and trying to get som muff with the car...(said by a BMW guy not me)
NOT something I want "my" brand to deteriorate into......
Dont get me wrong here there are alot of car nuts with alot of knowledge on cars who buys BMW, thats not my point...but if you look at the people buying M`s and compare it to the people buying RS models from Audi chances are there are more car lovers in the RS camp......

For once, unfortunately, you are absolutely right.
In fact, if Bangle's design keeps the posers away, and leaves the hard core BMW "drivers" as the buyers, then all the better to him... sadly, I don't think that's the case. It seems more and more of the the "poser" crowd are being drawn to the new BMWs... which I have to admit, bother's me a bit.

To be honest guys, the only posers i've encountered with the newer BMWs are the "chic" chicks. and they all drive either E46's or E36 318ti's (which i refer to as the yuppie's daughter's car) The guys that drive the E46 all want to bump up to either a 330Ci or an M3, or even the E90 330Ci when it comes out.
5 owners with 530i's wth the sport package aren't really posers..just chickens

the 545i hauls ass and doesn't handle like the boat it appears to be, so it really gives the parent who didn't want to be a parent, a chance to feel like they still have some dignity in driving a 4 door. But then again the E60 just continues that tradition from the E39 540is (i haven't had the chance to drive an E34 540 or V8 530)
7 owners...well..they're their own animal.

Being BMW's flagship, posh car, the 7's are entitled to theur own breed
