    Given the choice, which would you choose.

    Audi RS6 is so pretty.

    But the BMW M5 is a beemer. And you can say cool things like "Who's got the keys to my bimmer."

    Either one is not your average Bimmer.
    Both cost around 80k, so if it's image you are worrying about, both will do fine.

    I would wait for the next M5, v10 500+ hp, with BMW handling,
    That would be sweet.

    M5, and I would never ask that question because no one would touch my keys.

    The Audi is fast but it handles like sh*t. Go with the M5. Have you guys seen the new 6 btw?

    The RS6 is the fastest and finished first in a Car and Driver comparison test with the MB E55 AMG and the Jaguar S-Type R
    RS6 1st place finish

    M5 2nd place finish

    I would take the E55 AMG because get a load of these performance numbers:

    But wait until the next M5, which is supposed to have a V-10 pumping out 500 h.p. !!!!

    M5 is the way to go.

    BTW if you have the kind of money to get an M5, can i work for you or can I have a loan?

    I am not attempting to derail the thread, but a few weeks back for about a week I had the opportunity to drive around San Diego in a Cayenne Turbo. That was the single most unbelievable driving vehicles I have ever driven.

    A marvelous piece of engineering! If it falls in your price range I strongly suggest giving it a look.
