Re: Sportauto: BMW M5 vs Audi S6

I think Audi is actually being very clever in not going directly after BMW but rather doing their own thing. The S6 is cheaper and has less power than the M5, while the RS6 will be more expensive and have more power than the M5, so neither will be a direct competitor. S cars are fine for those who want a car that's fast but not too flashy, and also don't care about stuff like bragging rights.

Re: Sportauto: BMW M5 vs Audi S6

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the M5 would win this comparison. The S6 and E63 AMG are hardly M5 competitors at heart. Their qualities lie elsewhere.

Then BMW should had renamed the M3 to 332i or something when the RS4 got released.

Anyway RS6 will be here soon and then it will be payback time.

Re: Sportauto: BMW M5 vs Audi S6

But there was a E 63 vs. M5 comparison in the new Auto Motor & Sport!

http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/t...n.120665 .htm


E 63

0-100 km/h 4.9s
0-200 km/h 16.5s

M5

0-100 km/h 4.7
0-200 km/h 14.5

The Mercedes won the test because the power of the new V8 is stunning and the comfort doesn't come off badly!

LOL, Yannis, you need a response here or what? The E46 M3 isn't even in production anymore. There was only maybe a month or so left when the RS4 got released. The new M3 will eat the RS4 like a snack
