    I have an M5 but love the looks of the RS6 and could easily see my self in one. The touchscreen is close to a deal breaker for me though. My wife's car has touchscreen controls and I sometimes need to pull over to be able to get the radio station I want and the ventilation working as I like it. The smoother ride though is very attractive for just driving along in traffic on the UK's crap roads.

    I'm sure most people wouldn't understand this but, personally I'd take a used E39 M5 over either of these (and £100k in change!). I did also like the first and second gen RS6s when they came out, and still wouldn't say no. But there's something about this new one that I just find rather.... gross. The current M5 too, albeit to a lesser extent.
    I personally like tasteful and understated cars and that's one area where old Audis (and BMWs) got it right where the newer ones have gotten it very wrong IMO.

    Thanks Joe for another brilliant video. As a 2020 BMW M5 Comp driver I am of course pleased you chose the BMW over the Audi. I've not driven an Audi RS6 myself, so I wouldn't be able to comment on which is better in my eyes - but thats of course why we are all watching your videos! When I was researching my next car I did approach my local Audi dealership for a test drive of an RS6, however they were far from helpful than my BMW dealership. I was told that I couldn't have a test drive unless I only drove on B roads, had a salesman in the car next to me, plus they mentioned no more than 30 minutes in the car! BWM on the other hand lent me an M5 Comp for the weekend! I do think that even the initial contact by a car dealership goes towards you making that all important decision, and I do believe that this was why I chose the M5.

    I’m not biased to any manufacturer and don’t have favourites in that sense but for me the M5 is THE KING. I’m not a fan of ever BMW but the M5 is my ultimate dream family super saloon. Performance wise it kills the RS6 or 7

    Now owned both (currently in RS6). Agree with everything Joe says. I find the RS6 a much better family car - mainly because of its ability to be very smooth and quiet. The cabin is also sharper looking and, with the sunroof, much airier. The M5 is a beast, and definitely quicker/sharper but you have to put up with that all the time when, in my experience, a 4/5 door 2-tonne family car needs a broader set of skills most of the time. Loved both, heart says M5, head says RS6. And yes, the RS6 is the best looking 😉

    For me it would have to be the RS6 as I need the extra practicality and it looks simply awesome. Infotainment differences are largely down to investing the time in getting to know the systems in depth but tbh I do not spend much time fiddling with them on the move in any case. Performance difference is not going to matter unless you are Matt Watson. I agree with your conclusion though, M5 comp would probably provide more pleasure in driving whereas the RS6 would provide more pleasure in ownership.

    What is very hard here is that I really like the wheel arches flare ... which BMW used to have up to E60/E90, but now they are pretty much gone, while Audi have continued them. On the flip side those arches does impact the drag, and you see that in how thirsty these cars are (10.5L/100km for M5 vs 11.6L/100km for RS6). Now, as a owner you might not care about that 10% less consumption, and both have large tanks so range is not a problem ... but BMW/Audi/MB ALL have to keep lowering consumption, and it just seems like BMW is more serious about trying to do so (at the cost of looks).
    Yeah the touch screen is for standing still only ... that include a passenger. You need other way to input stuff.
    BMW is faster across the register (25.2s 0-280km/h vs 28.8s), so that 0.3 0-60 keep building (I also think BMW underestimate their engine a bit more than Audi does).
    fastestlaps.com/comparisons/8r13m4f0vkmd
    Yeah the M5 CP is stiff, I do like the 'feel' as to me the stiffness give more confidence ... but as a limo the RS6 is most likely a better car (constant cruising on a highway) ... but if that's what you are after ... S8 and 750 is the way to go anyhow.
    M5 CP - 95%
    E63s - 93%
    RS6 - 91%

    Love the M5, because it's understated, without the chavvy blacked out everything, and fakeness, of the Audi.
    They are both superb cars, but the BMW is just better in every way, apart from the extra room in the back / load space.
    BMW has better quality, better seats, better driving position, and is a much better car dynamically.
    Joe you say that you don't turn back and look at the M5 as much as you do the Audi, but that is just a personal thing, looks are subjective and I much prefer the styling of the BMW.

    I am an Audi fan in general but you are right...form over function. I love technology but in a car it should be user friendly and the touch screen is really taking your attention off the road...sometimes is even annoying to operate...better to keep some buttons, especially the climate control.

  • @utterlyexiged

    A lot of folks that buy the RS6 are not even in the market for an estate car. It just looks like an animal from every angle. I'm also a BM fan, but the M5 does fly under the radar as far as looks go.
