I believe we forget here that the battle of the near future will be fought with EVs like the i4 M and e-Tron RS/GT. I have the impression that the window of opportunity for the G8x versus RS 4/5 as dinosaurs of the past is already vanishing while we speak. Much of the virtues BMW has vs Audi, because of architectural or component based choices, will perish soon.

Just consider how Tesla was able to rank between serious drivers' cars just out of the blue! Change now with the upcoming generation is not incremental, but disruptive.
