the source is from BMW in München so at least its important for BMW to get these awards.

I know the source of your news, what counts (afaic) is that it's from SportAuto (the award)...

It's amazing the M3 is still winning awards all these years later, it's going to be a hard act to follow!

How can that be the case, if they haven't tested the car yet!

You can't just guess that a car would be sporty!

Oh right, so it's decided by the readers! Looks good for BMW, but I can't really take it seriously!

this is no different from other surveys done by the readers, hence Autobild, Top Gear etc etc. This shows that people still think BMW is a sporty brand, if they didnt think so they would vote for something else. People still thinks bmw build sporty cars, thats a good thing.
M3 only won in the category "Coupés to 90,000 euro". M6 didnt get an award at all.

Oh and bmw takes this serious becuase they have an article on their webpage for the press.

Why not? If anything, I would find things decided by the readers the most important! Moreso then what biased reviewer thinks!!!

Kudos to BMW, awesome job, well deserved! Can't wait for an M1 to kill everything in that class too!!!

Yes I agree it's good that people think BMW have a good image!

I'm sorry, I misunderstood what it was, I was thinking they were saying which were the best cars in each segment and price range, from reviews, not from a survey!

BMW M3 winner - Coupés to 90,000 euro wasnt even one of the candidates. Must be an error in my first post
