Videos Auto Express: BMW M4 vs Audi RS5


Surprisingly, in that video I think M3/4 sounded better. In the beginning where they rev both, the S55 sounds even more free revving than the RS5 unit. Though, I do strongly dislike the off throttle crackles and pops. But it seems to be the fad now. Also the reason I dislike the new Porsche sports exhaust.
 
Wow the BMW is in another league to the Audi around that track, its body and chassis control is so much better, hardly any roll whereas Audi had tons of roll into some understeer in some corners and the BMW much better balance and controllable oversteer. The engine did sound good in this video, but maybe not as nice as the Audi's but better than other videos.
