Spoken like someone who hasn't heard the M V10 sing over 5000rpm

When the M5 was released, fuel consumption was one of the things it was most bashed for... today it is the most efficient in the group.

I don't speak If I dont speak of reality.
Actually I have heard the M6 from 0 rpms to the very close to the limit..
but when the car is parked but still running it sounds like a diesel..
but is not only the M6/M5 that sounds like a tractor..

That is some nice diesel you have up in Norway

Must be lack of ample oxygen up there in the fjords or Norwegian M5 owners feeding their cars diesel.

Actually Dasilva isnt completly wrong , at idling it does sound almost like a diesel, like a ticking sound or something. My babybimmer sound the same at idling but once you hit the throttle, the difference is gigantic. But cars are meant to be driven so who cares if it sounds weird when you arent driving, its just a bad excuse for not choosing a M5



But with a easy fix you can make the car sound like this

And you can still upgrade with a Meisterschafts exhaust…then it sounds even more evil…





Well and to be fair…they all sound absolutely stunning:

OMG!! Ree, I think the E63 farted, listen 10 seconds in the Mercedes video

It feels good to be an Audi fan these days RS6 is the dream-monster for sure. It has won so many tests, and here we go again. In your face, haters!

^ Hahaha

All I say is be VERY happy BMW doesn't do Mark II Porsche style!!!!
M5 has been the same car for many years now, no need to upgrade it against the much newer RS6 or E63


Just for VroomVroom though:

Well Done Audi.

I´m really anxious to see how the new M5 comes out. When I first saw the E60 M5, even when I didn´t like too much the current E60, I thought it was the nicest car I had ever seen, specially because of the front. And the engine was pretty impresive, the very first V10, the very first car on that segment to engage 500 hp.

I wonder what is going to happen if the F10 M5 gets a TT V10...

^ Hell will happen. And the M5 will be the first car in segment going over 600 hp, then.

I wonder what would happen if Audi releases their cars at the same time that the competence. I don´t think there is something to be pround of about the RS6 when it is a car that went on sale almost 5 years later than the M5.

See not that hard

At least the M5 is a BMW R&D engine. Lambo V10 anyone?

The way I see it, BMW does not need to update it. It is still the best in class at what it is supposed to do...

was referring to the E and XFR... while the RS6 , though having a v10, still doesn't sound as good as the M5 revving, which reminds me a bit with Ferraris for some reason.

To me the RS6 sounds a bit anemic ??

The E AMG and XFR remind me more of an american muscle

I hope it doesnt turn out to be a X6M.

There is a very big risk for that with all the sharing of platforms and cutting of corners going on right now when manufacturers think they can cheap themselves out of this soon-to-end cricis.

And that's what I like about them.

It's weird, I hate the E60 but love the E60 M5, car just comes together in M5 guise.

Sucks for the E63 to finish second to last here, just imagine what AutoBild's comparison will be like when the F10 M5 comes out.

BTW, that W212 is SHINY, whoever waxed that thing did a good justice to the car. I still think it finishes second to last in the looks department.... it's also weird that every time I see a E60 next to a W212, it makes the E60 look good to me all of a sudden, even kind of "fresh" in a way. XFR is my personal fav here, and the Audi, albeit a great car obviously, isn't really my style.

The M5 is the ICON here

Geeezzz the Merc's dash are really button laden... buzy, buzy, buzy..

1. BMW M5
2. Audi RS6
3. Merc E63
4. Jag

I'd second that list!

Same with me

If it turns out that the next M5 turns out to be just like the X6M and they decided to do the same thing with the M3 in a few years, what will you do?
