Competition is good! It gives us a better BMW as a result.

The closest BMW gets to the RS interior is the CRT but that is way too exclusive:

Was the R8 billboard real? I never noticed it being up there..

On topic: I like the discreet orange stitching inside the 1M. Was IMHO a wise choice of BMW to avoid a highly contrasting shouting interior.

Though, IMHO Metak has a point about the eye-appealing look 'n feel of Audi dashboards.

A bit like the Apple/IBM feud in the early eighties (IBM repeatedly used a Charlie Chaplin mime in their ads to promote their PCs - Apple struck back with an ad showing a bowler hat and walking cane, questioning IBM's modernism and practicality).

The BMW "Checkmate" ad was legit for sure: .

Unsure about the "Your pawn is no match for our king" ad. Reported, yes, but always the same picture. Too good to be true. Likely a Photoshop rendering that became an urban legend (for example: http://www.forbes.com/sites/robschwa...war-escalates/). Se non è vero, è ben trovato.

Finally, BMW with a cool commercial for the M3:

Thanks I know the BMW board was real, I drive by there frequently. Never saw the R8 board though.
