Not rlly. The performance is perfectly fine as Audi likes to balance out luxury and speed. Mercs typically try to be more luxury and BMW's are more sporty. The Audi is like a mix of Mercedes and bmw, which I personally prefer.
^exactly, people have posted substantial results/improvement from pre recall. I was wondering if this had it or not, from the soft launch I would say it didn’t.
@Maverick doesn't matter. Cars aren't build only for good conditions. In germany there's like 60% rainy days and much snow. And only Audi looks good in such conditions.
@Maverick mate the lost souls who think bmw or merc are faster need to giv there head a wobble, get like for like!!! They use standard RS6 against the Comp M5 and E63s. Carwow if you are that much of a reviewer Go get a standard M5 and E63 non Comp or S versions and we’ll see what happens.. and Looks and road presence the AUDI is ahead of the game compared to Bmw or merc.
It's crazy the M550 has a quicker 1/4 mile in rain than the F10 M5, and having less power. Shows how much more efficient and advanced the newer BMWs are.
I wish this was done in dry conditions. The RS6 even beat the E63 and M5 in wet conditions, but then got beat handily in dry…Audi AWD system is better in wet.
This is an 550i not the m5 its weaker and slower but its a good choice for that person who wanna a sedan sport car with not that huge engine and that much power even the rs7 will not have a chance against a normal new m5 the competition will leave her in the dust
Teacher: Mat you did poorly this exam Mat:now what's my verdict? should you ignore it? should you consider it? should you shortlist it? or should you just go ahead and forget it? XD
M550i and RS3 are on my list for next car’s. Currently drive an M240i so idk if i’m ready to commit to a full size SUV or stick to compact. M550i just doesn’t have the handling of a compact, but man a full sized vehicle is just so much comfier than a compact.
The m550i is one special car . XDrive , smooth and a lot of power . That’s the car I would go with . Almost edged out the rs6 and it’s not even the m5 😂
guys, you should really test the M5 ffs, always doing videos of this car man…M5 has such incredible performance and we should really see more of it🤦🏽♂️
Looks like the RS6 is effectively no faster than the BMW that is not even the real M version. I can only imagine how different the results might be in drier conditions and with the nannies disabled.
@@michaelgill5186 You’re right. I only have driven more prestigious cars like the Mercedes S500, Porsche Macan, Lamborghini Aventador & Ferrari 812 superfast.
Moral victory for the M550i, given the fact it’s not even the M5. Incredible car. I would pick the RS6 over both, because of how stunning the RS6 is. I must be shallow 🤣
What carwow thinks what we want: *M550i vs RS6 drag race* What we actually want: *Matthew vs Yianni foot race* What I actually want: *Baby Vlog from Matt Watson*
Matt, I think you’ve done more to harm sales of the M5 than anything else lol. Why have an m5 when a mapped M550i would beat an rs6 and keep with an M5.
Don't think you get it son. The M550i is never going to be an M5 no matter how much you map it. They are completely different cars aimed at different drivers with different needs. The M5 is amazing, but as a daily driver it gets tiring very quickly. They are not comparable. The M550i is the comfortable, plush, daily driver which can still accelerate rapidly when needed, yet won't give you back problems being driven all day over UK pot-hole ridden roads. I'd love an M2C but the running costs, and suspension stiffness would be crippling driving it to work and back every day. So I have an M140i which is a lot more comfortable, costs a lot less to run, yet is actually a fair bit quicker in a straight line now it's running 455bhp/634nm. But, it will never be a proper M car, because the chassis and suspension are not designed in the same way.
there's a recall to fix these m550i's - apparently the acceleration was "too slow." should be out by end of summer... might be interesting to see how it does against competitors after the update is pushed out!
1. Wet races dont tell much of a story. 2. BMW is fixing the lag in this car viansoftware update so this is kind of meaningless. The updates are already available at the dealers. This will be a very very close race after the update
That's basically like the new golf R keeping up with the a45s. Yeah it's down on power but it's still in your back bumper the whole time which makes it satisfying for the guy in the lesser car and incredibly frustrating for the guy in the better car. I'd still rather have the RS6 than a 550i for sure.
This is entertaining but try savagegeese. You will get all the details, engine, underbody, history… even an interview with the head of the GTR program.
I don't care if the Audi RS-6 is faster... I'll still take the BMW as it's got the looks and status. A fair drag race would be to race the Audi S6 with the BMW M550I and to race the Audi RS-6 with the BMW M5 Competition then we will see the real winners !
M550i has to be the best luxury performance sedan by the Germans, all things considered. I've been trying to get my wife to swap her E43 AMG for one but she just won't listen.
The M8 Grand coupe and the M5 are better just to stay within the BMW brand. Otherwise the AMG V8s are also better. This one is pretty good for the price though, considering it has the same hardware as a M5, an ECU tune probably goes a long way.
My buddy has an M550i and my neighbor an M5 and I like the M550i better than the M5. For the money it's a much better deal and oddly I think it looks better too.
Video idea: Matt and yianni each have £1000 or another amount to buy the best performing car in a drag race, and then do the drag/rolling/brake tests as normal
Matt, I have a good suggestion. Rimac VS VW ID.R. I mean, 2 extreme powerful electric hyper-hypercars, competing each other. I know that all other lads wanted to see this.

Not rlly. The performance is perfectly fine as Audi likes to balance out luxury and speed. Mercs typically try to be more luxury and BMW's are more sporty. The Audi is like a mix of Mercedes and bmw, which I personally prefer.
The problem is BMW and Mercedes realsing like 2-3 versions of their performance cars
@Matt you need to get the M550i press car into the dealer for the launch control recall!
2021 M550i had a launch issue that was fixed via recall only in the last few weeks. Improves 0-60 by about 0.7secs.
^exactly, people have posted substantial results/improvement from pre recall. I was wondering if this had it or not, from the soft launch I would say it didn’t.
Love How they had to do So Many Drag Races for the Audi to Finally Win One
@Maverick the audi is the slowest out of the trio. 100-200 is 8.3 for the audi, 7.4 for the e63 and 6.3 for the new M5 comp
BMW fanboy there. :)
it won against the urus
@Maverick doesn't matter. Cars aren't build only for good conditions. In germany there's like 60% rainy days and much snow. And only Audi looks good in such conditions.
@Maverick mate the lost souls who think bmw or merc are faster need to giv there head a wobble, get like for like!!! They use standard RS6 against the Comp M5 and E63s.
Carwow if you are that much of a reviewer Go get a standard M5 and E63 non Comp or S versions and we’ll see what happens.. and Looks and road presence the AUDI is ahead of the game compared to Bmw or merc.
It's crazy the M550 has a quicker 1/4 mile in rain than the F10 M5, and having less power. Shows how much more efficient and advanced the newer BMWs are.
Love you carwow .... was hoping that yannie will be there in that audiRS6
The M5 would have beaten the rs6
Sherlock
Nope
@@adisadewa1337 it did, check his other video ;)
the m5 is lighter and has more hp thats absolutely logical
@@adisadewa1337 LOL try looking before printing lies son.
M5 is quicker, better, faster, you silly boy.
The M550i at 70k is still better, with 10k that car can get up to M5 performences. Love it
Looks like the M550i just needs a solid remap and it out drives the RS6. Good job BMW
6:22 facts.
If Matt was in the Audi that "leading but not by much" would be turned into "I smashed him"
The M550i is such a great value vis-a-vis the power.
I wish this was done in dry conditions. The RS6 even beat the E63 and M5 in wet conditions, but then got beat handily in dry…Audi AWD system is better in wet.
This is an 550i not the m5 its weaker and slower but its a good choice for that person who wanna a sedan sport car with not that huge engine and that much power even the rs7 will not have a chance against a normal new m5 the competition will leave her in the dust
cry
Teacher: Mat you did poorly this exam
Mat:now what's my verdict?
should you ignore it?
should you consider it?
should you shortlist it?
or should you just go ahead and forget it? XD

@@blicky2563 Captions are wrong tho. He said ARSE SEX.
@@sashoxxx and our sex is just going ...
M550i and RS3 are on my list for next car’s. Currently drive an M240i so idk if i’m ready to commit to a full size SUV or stick to compact. M550i just doesn’t have the handling of a compact, but man a full sized vehicle is just so much comfier than a compact.
Do the RS6 vs E63S vs M5 again... but in dry weather 👍
Get stage one tune on m550i! Would be interesting but still out of my price league, still certainly not a poor mans M5 yet
Let's appreciate the fact that he's driving the BMW🔥😂
@Teodor Munteanu he likes Audi, more than BMW, though he now has the 2021 M3 Comp
Those seats look amazing in the BMW.
I think the better match up would've been S6/M550i & RS6/M5.
The m550i is one special car . XDrive , smooth and a lot of power . That’s the car I would go with . Almost edged out the rs6 and it’s not even the m5 😂
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!! I liked the voting you used to do. BRING IT BACK!
RUclips removed the vote poll like almost a year ago
guys, you should really test the M5 ffs, always doing videos of this car man…M5 has such incredible performance and we should really see more of it🤦🏽♂️
M550i is a beast, 1 remap and you'll destroy a M5 competition
@@FascinatingDocumentariesTV AHAHAHAHA you a funny man🤣
@@FascinatingDocumentariesTV So just put a remap on the M5 and it's gone again.. So stupid to compare modded cars with stock-cars.
Love the RS6 so much , makes me sad how heavy it is...
Looks like the RS6 is effectively no faster than the BMW that is not even the real M version. I can only imagine how different the results might be in drier conditions and with the nannies disabled.
25k£ difference is not only in power but practicality, quality looks and comfort.
You obviously have NEVER Driven or owned an Owdi or a BMW nor do u understand the philosophy behind any Euro Prestige car
@@michaelgill5186 You’re right. I only have driven more prestigious cars like the Mercedes S500, Porsche Macan, Lamborghini Aventador & Ferrari 812 superfast.
Matt, it will be awesome to do drag race between R34 and Evo 6 for the next video
R34 will be the winner, easy prediction
Nobody wanna drive shitboxes
@@Mr_devextion I do because I care
and this why you get the hard core M5 comp
when is the new rs3 vs a45s going to race?
cars that matter
Did the M550i have the ECU update? HUGE difference in launch. That may explain the "soft" feeling you got from launch.
Moral victory for the M550i, given the fact it’s not even the M5. Incredible car. I would pick the RS6 over both, because of how stunning the RS6 is. I must be shallow 🤣
What carwow thinks what we want: *M550i vs RS6 drag race*
What we actually want: *Matthew vs Yianni foot race*
What I actually want: *Baby Vlog from Matt Watson*
Of course i wont pay that extra 25 grand to buy an audi🤮
I will pay that extra 30 grand and buy a m5 😉
My guy
Typically basic bmw fanboy as well
Fornite kid
Love u boy
Hahaha I prefer the 550i.
Matt, I think you’ve done more to harm sales of the M5 than anything else lol. Why have an m5 when a mapped M550i would beat an rs6 and keep with an M5.
and why have an m5 when a stock m550i is 0,3 sec slower than rs6 )
Because it’s still not a M5
Don't think you get it son.
The M550i is never going to be an M5 no matter how much you map it.
They are completely different cars aimed at different drivers with different needs.
The M5 is amazing, but as a daily driver it gets tiring very quickly. They are not comparable. The M550i is the comfortable, plush, daily driver which can still accelerate rapidly when needed, yet won't give you back problems being driven all day over UK pot-hole ridden roads.
I'd love an M2C but the running costs, and suspension stiffness would be crippling driving it to work and back every day. So I have an M140i which is a lot more comfortable, costs a lot less to run, yet is actually a fair bit quicker in a straight line now it's running 455bhp/634nm. But, it will never be a proper M car, because the chassis and suspension are not designed in the same way.
I'd like to see the same duel on a dry road
Thank you Mat, this episode is what I really want to see, I left a message before and you did noticed it, thank you very much. You the best
@carwow does the M550i have the updated software that fixes the communication issue between the ECU and TCU that slows the 0-60 time?
there's a recall to fix these m550i's - apparently the acceleration was "too slow." should be out by end of summer... might be interesting to see how it does against competitors after the update is pushed out!
The fact that the BMW launches in the second gears is just making me numb
1. Wet races dont tell much of a story. 2. BMW is fixing the lag in this car viansoftware update so this is kind of meaningless. The updates are already available at the dealers. This will be a very very close race after the update
@@BmwAlfa123 no it wont
@@BmwAlfa123 no it wont, bmw always is fixing something, still doesnt get it :))))
@@Chair991 this guy said so. guess its true
@@dumitrulungu2454 German cars aren’t reliable period. That’s why people lease them.
Been driving G31 and G30 since 2017 now and NEVER had my hazard-lights on when braking. They aren't sensitive at all.
That's basically like the new golf R keeping up with the a45s. Yeah it's down on power but it's still in your back bumper the whole time which makes it satisfying for the guy in the lesser car and incredibly frustrating for the guy in the better car.
I'd still rather have the RS6 than a 550i for sure.
Amazing 👑✨

I love this channel it gives me all the details about a car ♥️♥️
Well, NOT ALWAYS.
This is entertaining but try savagegeese.
You will get all the details, engine, underbody, history… even an interview with the head of the GTR program.
Are these still old recordings?
Cause I thought his leasing on that green RS6 ran out a long time ago?
Yes they are, it appears to have been recorded sometime in winter.
@@Ge4rz isnt it always winter in the uk?
i don’t think that one is his cause he wasn’t driving it like he normally does
I don't care if the Audi RS-6 is faster... I'll still take the BMW as it's got the looks and status.
A fair drag race would be to race the Audi S6 with the BMW M550I and to race the Audi RS-6 with the BMW M5 Competition then we will see the real winners !
M550I is pre or post BMW ECU software update
I don't know why but since carwow joined RUclips my life has changed.😃
Without you Yanni is going Drag Races in his Channel. How is this even Legal?
Yeah ,that wierd Lambo fanboy
btw do you hate lambos like me....do you think they are overdesigned
@@rayyannaeem3062 overdesigned & overpriced & overrated
@@Fransie93 exactly....my stupid classmate was saying huracan as luxury
me: wtf WHY?
he said: its price
Logic sat their crying
@@rayyannaeem3062 Well they are luxury. They are just not comfy!
M550i has to be the best luxury performance sedan by the Germans, all things considered. I've been trying to get my wife to swap her E43 AMG for one but she just won't listen.
Just hide the amg, test drive the bmw, take it home, then when she drives it she will be sold 😄
Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is even better
The M8 Grand coupe and the M5 are better just to stay within the BMW brand. Otherwise the AMG V8s are also better.
This one is pretty good for the price though, considering it has the same hardware as a M5, an ECU tune probably goes a long way.
Time to upgrade my 550i to RS7
My buddy has an M550i and my neighbor an M5 and I like the M550i better than the M5. For the money it's a much better deal and oddly I think it looks better too.
I know it’s an RS6 win before watching 😂
If it was an M5 instead of M550i we all know who will win
Yes because 600hp > 530hp
Well would be a shame if it wouldn't win😂 Nevertheless the M550i wasn't far behind
Still its impresive M550I with 530hp really hold on agaisnt RS6
The m550i is quikcer than the rs6 on a dry surface🤣
Carwow guy: Hey mat the m5's Performance differnce to the rs6 is to big.
Mat: okey whats about the m550i
The Audi have the best AWD system
@@Blacktrous nope bozo xD
@@Blacktrous is you drunk my dude 😂😂
Video idea: Matt and yianni each have £1000 or another amount to buy the best performing car in a drag race, and then do the drag/rolling/brake tests as normal
550i is a bargain honestly… with FBO and a tune you’d be making wayy more power then a stock M5 como. Bc rlly rly the 550i is just detuned
Yup
I really love the RS6 in 35 years I could afford it 😂
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees Yianni DRAG made our Day:
THE RS IS FASTER IN THE WET OK RACE IN THE DRY PLACE
What an excuse lol.
Carwow makes a video that will be a drag race of Rimac Nevera vs BMW M8 Gran Coupé vs Porsche Taycan CT Turbo
Matt, I have a good suggestion. Rimac VS VW ID.R. I mean, 2 extreme powerful electric hyper-hypercars, competing each other. I know that all other lads wanted to see this.
