Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

That guy has to be one of the worse car reviewers ever... After watching his S4 review, I'm ready to deck the guy...

Sorry, maybe I've just been spoiled watching Top Gear after all these years.

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

I think MBenz full size cars are much better than BMW. Small cars definately go to BMW. Those new top end MB are crazy. the new S600 are V12 twin turbo, something like 540 torque. nice cars are nice cars though

I just don't think the guy's reviews do the cars justice!

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

the 7 series bmw's have too many issues with them. Mbenz is the way to go if your looking for a big luxuary car and the new S class looks bad ass

I'm a big top gear fan, but I'll cut this guy some slack as he didn't even start the car so obviously he is not evaluating them as a whole, just looking at it from a very CNET perspective of their tech, which is something most other review completely neglect. Interesting that he called their nav one of the best, that is the first postitive review I've heard about iDrive from anybody.

That Beemer is impressive, but I agree with the above comment, they do small cars best. E36 M3 :RockOn:

I love watching Top Gear....I have learned a lot about cars from this show.

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

CNET sucks. Top Gear is awesome.

I not only love how they go over the cars features from a realistic, knowledgable perspective, but they also pound on them and tell you how they really feel.

Perhaps you should pick up a Consumer Reports magazine once in awhile then, because in the last 5 years, MBenz has dropped SIGNIFICANTLY in quality ratings. Blame Chrysler.

#520037Post 15 of 30

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

You can't "blame Chysler" when it was the Germans running the company. I agree the merger has been better for the American brand than Benz, but IMO Mercedes lost the plot when they switched from making over engineered tanks to these techno gizmo packed pieces of shit. They started chasing the Japs and it killed them because nobody can do electronics like them, especially Germans.

So true. The germans should stick to what they know best, engines.

Above when someone said benz makes better cars than bmw, that's just silly talk. :p

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

benz and bmw can both sit t f down imo. if they want a lesson in engineering take a note from these guys...

the ultimate machine is right here:

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

HAHA. 700plus hp suv, a bit excessive. I'll settle for a Turbo, or even an S.

M5's are ultimate drool worthy. I finally saw one on the street here in the states a few weeks ago. The M6 is hot too, but i'm guessing those are a year away, probably more stateside.

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

Yeah its a great site... theres a real power race going on at the moment in germany.

I guess you guys are alittle behind on the current episodes of top gear... Clarkson reviewed the new Audi RS4 last week and he said it was awesome... Prob better than the M3.. Check it...

I also saw an M6 in Dublin too.. They are so sweet... same engine as the M5...

heres the audi..417BHP for ?80k isnt bad... i mean an M3 with 350 is ?90k

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

wonder if they're going to make a new model of the RS6? That car was always one of my favorites, even if it is a glorified VW.

#520092Post 26 of 30

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

The Rs6 Is one of the coolest car's ever... I know Audi have got another one planned..

Considering the power race at the moment id say the Rs6 will be pushing 500+ consideriing the Rs4 is 417...

WOWwee all in a family wagon.. haha.

#520103Post 27 of 30

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

Audi is taking the v10 from the Lambo Gallardo for the next RS6.

#520107Post 28 of 30

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

Kobe, where did you read that... holy shit...

they'll prob retune it and it will be pushing 550+ sweet shit.. well i suppose its logical as the current M5 is as quick as the 360... good old launch control..

Clicky click..

Re: omfg.... BMW taking it to the next level

various rumors floating around, it's a logical choice because as you point out they must now top the M5 and already have a motor in house with the capability to do just that

They will also be making a sports car aimed at the 911 based on the Le Mans show car (looks identical). Add in the new SUV and Audi will finally have a complete product line instead of just 3 sedans/wagons
