Good comparison

Will the M3 with a 4.0 litre V8 with 420 hp match up with the
M-B C 63 AMG (6,2 litre V8) 480 hp or the
Audi A5 with a 4.2 litre V8 with 420 hp.

All goes from 0 - 100 km/h (62 mph) at 4,8 secs


PS. The 0-60 mph is around 4,5 s for all these cars

The rear of the 3 looks more like audi lights than the audi does. Looks like a A8 design on the lights.

Side profile is very different as the creases are not even the same.

C pillar is different also.

But I see how the look is similar in any event!

A lot of engineers that work for Audi have been employed by BMW before...

Yeah I never liked how the BMW E92 Coupe's rear lights were copied from an Audi A4...

Agreed with EBMCS03 about the diffuser

Also, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but look at the A5's side and the M3 one. I get the feeling the A5 is much smoother and just flow & curve nicely as if made of a single piece.
