5 stars for both, that is 5 stars out of 5 stars. Which mean both these cars are great cars, down too personal preferences wich car you want to spend your money on

The RS4 Avant is just so beautiful. By its jaw-dropping looks alone I'd take it.

Re: [scans] EVO: Audi RS4 Avant vs BMW M5 Touring

A great read, this is why I love EVO!!

I'm surprised they said the M5 was as good to drive as the RS4 on the tight roads, would have expected it to be worse, considering the extra weight. Also I think BMW should have engineered a proper manual for the M5 as well as the SMG, not a crappy one like they have for NA! The RS4 did very well considering it has less power.

I have either, love them both!

It's not just the gearbox. The engine doesn't like the manuals in the first place.

OK then, they should have engineered the engine to like manuals!

I have never tried SMG or DSG, or anything like that, but personally, especially when changing down, I can't see how anything could beat a manual with a clutch where you can control the amount the clutch is in, and also when going along slowly in traffic!

Re: [scans] EVO: Audi RS4 Avant vs BMW M5 Touring

Both are indeed fantastic vehicles, however choosing between the two isn't hard in my eyes.
I'll easily take the RS4.
