short verdict:

The more powerful and lighter BMW 5 easily wins that comaprison with 49/37 (out of 60) pts. The S6 loses against the M5 as the (Lamborghini) V10 si limited to just 435 bhp and the S6 weighs about 150 kgs more than the M5.

S6: 435 PS / 2003 kg = 217 PS/ton
M5: 507 PS / 1858 kg = 273 PS/ton

So the M5 beats the S6 in all aspects, it is the much sportier and better to drive, the S6 is perfect grand tourer with a lot of power and a pretty good handling due to the permanent 4WD.


S6: 172 EUR/PS
M5: 174 EUR/PS

M5 / S6
0-100km/h 4.7 / 5.9
0-200km/h 14.4 / 19.8
18 meter slalom: 66,6km/h 63,9 km/h

Hockenheim 1.16,3 min 1.18,3 min
 
What a slaughter, surprising... Didnt think it would be such a BIG difference.

Too bad for Audi... I really thought they had somehting there! :t-banghea
 
Wow, ouch S6. They would be better off just calling the car A6 5.0 or something imo.

Yeh really... I certainly would drop the "S" badge off, and throw a "A" badge up there real QUICK!
 
If you look at their scoring system, the result is hardly surprising. I don't think anyone expected the S6 to be quicker than the M5 around a track or a slalom course. I'm quite certain other magazines will have different emphasis and thus, a different result. ;)

As the name Sportauto says, the winner is baised on the sportiest car, laptimes, acceleration, driving feedback, feelings and emotions are Sportautos priority.
When thats the priority , a car like S6 dont stand a chance. Sportauto simply is the best sportcarmagazine today. Unfortuanly only in german :t-banghea

Sportauto is far away from AMS and Autobild, not a single thing in common.

So sportauto means BMW and Porsche victories, the rest MB and Audi cause they're better all rounders.

BMW often wins but it has lost as well.
 
Audi has completely lost the plot with the S cars. I had a B5 S4, the last good S car, a great affordable alternative to M3. After that they all became these fat ass crusisers and you have to spend way more for a RS to get a really sporty Audi.
 
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.
 
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. :usa7uh:
 
Just_Me, has there already been E 63 vs. M5 comparison in Sportauto?

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

Anyway RS6 will be here soon and then it will be payback time.:t-drive:

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 :bowdown:
