looking forward to owning the Audi...no bangle bmw for me.

BMW would realize how many loyal customers they have lost because of Bangle. They may have gain somewhat of a new clientele but they are the fickle buyers that will switch to the next out there Merc with no thought. I'm sorry...americans shouldn't be designing german cars.

The free comprehensive maintainence plan similar to the old Audi Advantage that will no longer exist for the 2007 models. Plus some high performance/high priced M series V8s.

they also have much better resale/residual value.

but I sense you will probably trade the RS4 in on the E90 M3's second year of production.

just breakin *****

you made the right choice.

Know how you feel. Just took delivery after 5 BMWs with 2 M3s. No regrets, amazing car.

The RS6 did very well, be interesting to see how the RS4 does.

BMW has built up a reputation that does make them more desireable to the masses. Not necessarily the better car, but more of a status thing.

Out of curiosity, what's the latest on the M3 ETA?

Who's going to buy the 2nd hand bangle bmw? A friend of mine used to worship bmw's until he got a job as a mechanic at a dealer. He said they don't build them as well as they did 6 or 7 years ago...said he wouldn't even buy a new one, too unreliable.
