Audi Builds A Better iDrive
The automaker's MMI is supremely capable and, more importantly, comprehensible.
Enough has been written about BMW's iDrive to fill a 1,000-page driver's manual. Then again, iDrive owners need a 1,000-page manual to figure out how to use it. Credit Audi for succeeding where the vaunted Bavarian firm failed. After a week driving Audi's new 2004 A8, we can report that the carmaker has created an electronic driver- car interface that is genuinely intuitive.

And countless other articles.
You truly make me laugh with sources... popsci....pcmag... Next time when you search for articles, please make sure the writer knows how to use a computer...... If anyone in the automotive industry still thinks iDrive is hard to use, he/she has a malfunction in the brain.
Give me a break.

When i said that Audi is at least 3 years ahead of every other competitor in terms of Aluminium technology i said it cause i have read an article from a third party (meaning independent party) saying that. I tried to find the article but couldn't, perhaps i will find it later.
BMW made aluminum cars before Audi even knew the material existed
Z8 anyone?
Or are you trying to say Audi had an alu spaceframe before BMW?
