My argument has always been:
If an Audi supercar can sell, why can't a BMW supercar? And BMW certainly has the technical know-how to do it... Though I think BMW believes its more profitable to sell the "common" cars. They are rapidly expanding their range for buyers of all demographics... Though hopefully something is in the works, i.e. the "Green" supercar. Well, if you really want a BMW supercar. Get rich and get on BMW AG's board of directors |

My opinion is that Audi learned from the M1 and decided to approach getting their own supercar differently which definitely worked. Your comments speaks volume, I don't hear you viewing the R8 as a cheap Gallardo copy but it's equal at a lot less money. It's viewed to be just as desirable. No one, especially me has said that BMW don't have the skills but I doesn't believe it's either the right time or necessary for BMW to make a supercar. Though if they made an ultra economical supercar that just might make all the difference. I reckon Audi were on to something when the showed the R8 v12 diesel, the world is crying out for something totally different and individual, maybe BMW should look down this avenue. |

that's because that car failed hard. it wasn't an all-out performance supercar like the F1 or CGT, but it wasn't comfy either, and the brakes apparently sucked.
