I'm not hating Audi's but i saw an A8 with the shark fin antenna. It was huge and looked more like a baby shark!

No. I don't think BMW have been copying Audi. Fins appeared on BMWs more than a year ago at least. They were on the 7 series and 3 series with Navigation/Mobile phones. So way more than a year.

Could say Audi are copying BMW. In fact the new Audi A6 brochure here in the UK shows an A6 with 7 spoke alloys. In fact they look very very similar to the E60's 123 style alloys. Now that's a copying.
