    So... We didn't get lucky with the weather. In fact, we knew it was going to be pretty bad but we thought we would go ahead and make the video anyway. So our apologies for all the slightly blurred shots, rain battering the windscreen and wet microphones, we hope you still enjoy the video and subscribe to the channel. Examples of our work in - much sunnier conditions - can be found in this very playlist. Enjoy :)

    Both amazing cars and both very fast, not really to sure any arguments of 0.4 of a second on a 0-60 run make any difference at all in the real world... yes the M5 Comp is slightly quicker but anyone who actually cares about that will never own ether of them bar in the dreams.... for me the M5 still looks like a sleeper and when spending £100k on a super family car you'd want people to know It's a beast not a sleeper that looks like any other 5 series bar a few differences (quad tips, V8 sound, and slightly more stance).... Now, the RS6 is not by any means a sleeper with its aggressive looks, flared haunches (Arches) deeper V8 grumble, new lines, bigger wheels, much bigger grills and the Oval exhausts I'd just a game changer.... In my opinion BMW missed a trick when it came to styling, all the literally needed to do what give the M5 wider aches and it would have been perfect.... RS6 wins for me.... disclaimer for all those fan boys out there, I am a BMW fan, owner and have been for over 15 years... I have owned 1x e90 330d 2010, 1x e90 335i 2011, 1x 335d f30 2013, and lastly but not least the e92 V8 M3 Comp 2012....

    Can you say why you didn't match the cars i.e. M5 v RS6. Surely matching the modified, lightened and tuned M5 competition up to the Base RS6 is saying the standard car is not good enough for this test. Also it would have been better testing the RS6 with Steel colis and adaptive dampers widely thought to be the better set up overall. Will you rematch the tuned M5 competition against the RS6 performance when it arrives.

    The M5 is no longer available to order in the UK. We will be testing the RS6 Performance (or whatever it might be called) when/if it is launched. The press car we were allocated had the air suspension, but given one of the RS6's biggest strengths over the BMW is its comfort - and the steel coils aren't as comfortable as air - we highly doubt it would have changed the result. Something which has been echoed by our testers who have driven both the M5 Comp, RS6 with air suspension and RS6 with steel coils.

    @@CARmagazineTV You guys have a 25 year old guy, who in crude terms, praises the M5 for turn in, handling and acceleration... and have cited that the major part of the RS6s appeal is its ability to be more comfortable than the M5...Lol, what about build quality, storage size and practicality, Grand Tourer ability... design and road presence and lastly the total package, ie which car does the best job at the most number of things...because the M5 really does not shine at being an all in daily driver.... in fact, as a daily driver you are better off with a 550xi. I am sorry, but as someone whose owned both (rs6 and m5 comp) - among 10 other cars currently, what appeals to a veritable kid, is not what appeals to actual buyers of these vehicles...He probably doesnt have kids, he definitely doesnt have a second home to lug things to, he doesnt care if a car can be a quiet luxury car in traffic, thats supple... he simply cares if the car feels racy, lairy and chavvy when hes up it. Part of the reason I sold the M5c, is that its turned into a Chav/drug dealer trinket... the market probably concurs, considering M5s now have such woeful resale - particularly in comparison to the RS6. Firstly, the fit and finish of these cars are light years apart... the dashboard alone of the M5 for me was the bane of my ass, the buttons would peel, it had cheap silver hard plastics... the RS6 comparatively is like a bank vault... you can feel its got carry over from its Bentley/porsche brethren... An $2m a year executive is more likely to want a Flying spur in a wagon type practicality with a mix of grunt and excitement, than a 2 tonne car trying to be an M2 competition... which brings me to the Turn in of the M5.. yes it is more direct, but in daily driving, the steering is actually irritating, the wheel has nowhere for your thumbs to rest, and when you are driving around town, the short lock makes the thing simply too eager...its fucken annoying... When I was 25, sure I may have like it, but I didnt have the option to take out my 911 Touring for a fang... Re suspension... I opted for the MRC steel coils, and it gives the car far more composure through challenging B roads - without sacrificing that much comfort... The M5 simply does not handle fast b roads well - try driving the car at speed over broken road, its twitchy as hell... the car has a clutch plate haldex like awd connection... not an torsen centre diff awd system - The M5 loses traction far quicker than the Audi does... If you live in snow or tough terrain, the M5 is not up to the job. So more importantly and existentially - at what point is there a connect between your opinions and what owners think - and im not talking about 25 year olds who live at home and lease one of these for 1 year, before going broke or writing them off - I am talking about intended target audience.

    I must concur with the general sentiment that this was a well done review! Having owned several BMWs and M cars, I never thought I'd switch brand, but starting with the S4 Avant B6, followed by the RS4 Avant B6, followed by the S6 Avant C6 (5.2L V10 :-), and now having an RS6 C7, I cannot see myself ever switching back.... Though I still admire M cars (which I prefer over AMG cars), I consider the RS6 the best car I've ever had -- I'm in my sixth year with it now, and it still feels fresh and up-to-date, perhaps slightly dated only in terms of interior design. I'm about to update the ECU with APR stage 1, which will put it at 680 hp and acceleration figures on par or even trumping this new M5 CS and honestly see no reason to replace it in years.

    ​@@CARmagazineTV I know :-). Actually though, I just noticed that this figure is in bhp (American hp), which translates to 701 PS/hp in European DIN -- which would well account for its rather impressive acceleration figure of 3,3 sec 0-100 km/h (3,1 sec 0-60 mph)... However, it should be mentioned as well that the C8 uses the new EA825 engine, co-developed by Audi and Porsche and produced by Porsche, which offers significant improvements over the older EA824 engine used in the C7. Although sharing the same general configuration of 4.0L FSI V8 Twin Turbo, the newer engine has been improved in so many different aspects that I believe APR will be able to offer substantial power gains over the older engine, once they have completed their stage 1 software development for it.

  • @Rascallucci

    That's the problem of the Audi, that 4 litre twin turbo is close to maxed out already, it just doesn't have the engine capacity to compete with the M5 or the E63. It is what it is and there is nothing Audi can do about it unless they change the engine in future. Other than that, the RS6 Avant is far better looking and is an estate, as such I would still take the Audi. Not quite sure why BMW is not making the Touring version for the M5.

    These are two very different cars. The RS6 estate practicality adds to the appeal, but the M5 comes across as the driver's car. Neither the BMW or RS6 comes across as a driver's car, need to drop down to the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quad (and just live with the compromises).

    Owned both now (currently in the C8 RS6). The M5 is by far the more engaging drivers car - much better throttle response and modulation, more steering feel and much more intuitive to drive - but it also has a much harsher ride and is noisier. The problem for me is that I didn’t buy a big 5-seater just for outright pace, I need it to be usable with the family, and my family really didn’t like being in the M5, mainly because of the ride and the sensitive throttle. On the other hand, they love the RS6. It also looks so much better - i get far more comments about my RS6 than I ever did about the M5 - some people will prefer the sleeper looks of the M5 but I do enjoy the greater sense of occasion that the RS6 brings. My biggest gripe with the RS6 is the power delivery - as said in this review, it doesn’t feel as quick as the M5 to me, simply because of the throttle lag and torque profile. But it’s a better family car for me, hands down.

A suitcase hitting you in the back of the head at sixty miles an hour will most definitely do more than just feel bad.

    The M5 is astonishing and probably even more enjoyable but look at the RS6. I mean maybe it’s not that fast and noisy as the C7 or the C6,which were undeniably more “arrogants”,but still is amazing in her design,her engine and her technology. Then it’s up to you,Perhaps I’d choose the M5 too,to get a really fun- to-drive high-performance saloon with plenty of technology in it,even though the RS6 might be more comfortable and usable on the road and so,more proper to an usage of a “saloon car”.

    Mate, I like your very ending, the people that buy these cars are very much not interested in luxury or comfort, as such, that's why you have the S6, the S8, the 540 and the 7 series for luxury and comfort, the people that buy these do so purely for performance, that's why BMW edges them because they understand purely that you can't make the car utter comfortable on a rigid platform, you need to sacrifice some and gain some, and that's what messes Audi and Benz, they try to bring the comfort to these cars hence they easily gain weight.. They need to learn from the best, you said it correctly, the BMW tries a bit hard to be a sports car, that's what these cars should be all about. They need to make sense to the guy who wants a performance car but doesn't have 200k pounds, a car that will be a hooligan and also settle down to serve his family and the wife can drive it. During the weekends, take it to the canyons and even the track, the BMW serves the performance segment very well, the AMG tails it and the Audi is just trying hard, even accepted to put that RS button the old BMW way......

    The comparison should be made between the m5 and rs6. Not rs6 and m5 competition
