Audi Inspired BMW R8 Appears on the Street
Introducing the BMW 850i

Fresh from the "what were they thinking" department, an Audi R8 has been photographed (or photoshopped) wearing BMW badges.
The Russian-owned R8 has been completely stripped of all Audi logos. Redubbed the BMW 850i, the car has BMW badges on the hood, engine cover, and rear fascia. While we aren't sure what to make of this, it's clearly odd to say the least. On the bright side, it's a real R8 instead of a creepy replica based on a Mercury Cougar.
We always knew Audi had an inferiority complex, but apparently some of their customers do too.

But you have to remember 1 thing, Pretty much at this one hotel are ALL the nice cars in the country durring the summer, maybe at Hotel Mamaia too a few more. Not that rich if you consider Romania has 22million people, not even 0.1% of people can afford cars like that, 90% are dirt poor and can barely get by, and the other 9.9% are medium class by western standards. NOT all Romania is filled with cars like that, same for russia, out of 140million people there are bound to be a few rich, and the rich stick with the rich so when u see a high concentration of nice cars u assume they are filthy rich as a people. In the US the wealth is more spread out.
