Nice reply Einzlr! Makes a lot of sence.. I agree with what you say.

Same with MB over here... More comfort oriented.. (at least speaking for little Norway) But with the new A-class they are starting to appeal to a much larger audience. Especially the younger buyers who wants a sporty car.
And I have a Subaru Impreza buddy. EVO is the enemy.. :p lol...

BMW drivers are the same here. But Audi is among them, without being anything behind/worse. Last time i read something "official" about it was that Audi drivers were the worst drivers when it came to speeding.

The difference in my opinion is that with several BMW drivers you can have nice car conversations. About driving and stuff.
Audi drivers are in general the people who just want an up-market alternative to the other more normal cars (VW, Skoda, Seat.. etc).
VW Golf is the best selling car here. Guess what cars the "snobs" drive.. Audi A3. Which is basically the same car as the Golf, only a tad more premium and "posh".
(yeah, I have a bit attitude towards Audi. I should know better, but cant help myself at times. All other brands are fine)

A nice thing about BMW in Norway, actually think its among the Scandinavic Countries. BMW owners are the most loyal customers and also the people who are most satisfied with their cars. I have seen those results over and over again... My real life impressions seem to show much of the same.

I have a feeling that BMW have a much better reputation in EU than in the US.
