Audi RS6 vs BMW M5 Competition | Twin-Test 

Why competition pack but not standard?????? Audi Rs6 is standard at the moment no Rs6 Performance so the comparison is not fair?????

Glad you did opted to do the video, good test of the cars.

I am BIG fan of BMW but RS6 os sick. Way better than M5

It’s a pity. You should record this videos in a weather friendly country. Let’s say Spain 😅

This is typical UK weather both cars need to deal with it, I would remind you on the C7 model RS there has always been an unmarked button the owner can customise and use it like an RS button. it's just unmarked.

Mogsyman I agree 👍🏽

Yeah that's why the RS6 is the better car

Of course its not an M5 its an RS6. You said it yourself 🤭😜

Ex M5 Comp Daily Driver here... it was one of the most unreliable, poorly built car I've owned... was in the shop more times than not, and had more buttons fascia peeled off than you'd expect from a Kia... Sold it for a RS6 in Daytona with custom ECU and Akrapovic and use my 911 Touring for the track...

The Audi will have better reliability. Even though all German makes are unreliable.

my father has the new rs6 so team audi

@@moritzegger6291 all the way

The Porsche GT3 RS and GT2 RS are like that for me.

agreed, as an owner whose swappign to the RS6... couldnt agree more... I stupidly bought a discounted black on black M5 comp demo... and it literally looks like a 520d and it does my head in.

@@pseudonym6642 sorry to hear that

Fucking blind your are, on any Any ANY car check first breaks, calipers and disc size. Forget about body, that's where you see real diff

This RS6 look‘s like a frog so I choose the M5 😅😂

@@MatorThorsson ah, choosing the pig instead

Yeahb

@@MatorThorsson wear glasses next time

Lewis Junior Phidza ok... I do now but this RS6 just more like a frog yet, so I put my glasses away.

audi 10 times better in all

morispielt haha in what way? 😂 M5 is faster, more fun, better ride comfort, more dynamic, better infotainment system. RS6 has a bigger boot space and a better 4WD system, that’s it.

Bmf we pull you out when you get stuck😂 I’m a Texan and this has nothin to do with anything.

You can still get the M550i same engine as the regular M5 less power you have the M package that look pretty cool

World Is Awesome the part that sucks is we don’t get the 5 wagon in the states. The last generation we got was the e60.

Glad you enjoyed it!

M5 already looks damn perfect. Doesn't need a facelift.

why the fuck do you need a facelift man? there will be only minor appearance change.. same engine. same drive train. same power..

what difference does the lci make if your not actually buying it

Ebrahim K a big difference. Plenty of dealer contribution finance deals. Got a hefty discount from Berry BMW Heathrow on my 2018 M5 Competition

I don't think the G30 and F90 will ever have a LCI. Well, the F15/F85 didn't

Thanks Bheki - glad you enjoyed. Don't forget to sub!

Great car - B7?

CAR Magazine yes indeed, sprint blue saloon, only 60k on the clock. Cracking weekend car, nowhere near as fast as the modern stuff but plenty quick enough for uk roads, and the fun you have along with the sound of the milltek exhaust more than makes up for any shortfalls.

Sounds wonderful. Brilliant car. 👌We’re making a video on the B7 RS4 soon, so be sure to keep an eye out for it!

Soorma530 when your a BMW fan so have to pretend it has more presence🤣

Syke Last I disagree, those old performance cars can’t be compared to anything we have now

etse dziwornu ofcourse performance has enhanced by a lot with all manufactures however my point I’m putting across is BMW is still number one and will forever be number one.

Syke Last I can tell you must love BMW so much, so do I also love Audi with my everything. There are a couple of drag races that BMW didn’t do well, technology has evolved with time & they’ve been dethrone long ago

etse dziwornu I do love BMW the most. I’ve owned Audi and Mercedes before. Both amg and rs models too. Honestly they are as equal as BMW m performance cars not even full m cars. In regards to them getting dethroned, I’m not sure about that... they outsold Mercedes in USA this year, and in every comparison against its rivals I’m seeing that the journalists always favor BMW. Again that’s my personal opinion. You can have yours and I can have mine. Cheers to all German manufacturers, but BMW got an edge

Vinny Booboo nope. M5 comp beat e63, m8 beat gt 4 door, m3/m4 beat c63, m2 comp best all there little amg hatches

Absolutely agree.. I have new A5 sportback and I can't keep my eyes off of it. what a car

Edijs Benoit You could drop either in my driveway and I’d be happy but I drive a 2008 Renault Laguna 😂 which is fine for everyday use but my bike would beat either which I could buy 20 of for these cars

Glad you enjoyed it!

CAR Magazine already done :-)

Regular M5 is no longer available to order in the UK.

@@CARmagazineTV but you could compare bearly used one

@Latvietis96 lol . grow up

M6 or M8 Assuming you mean aggressive/sporty rather than the M5's conservative/business look.

If the bmw was an estate it would not be as good but there is not much in it as it is

Yeah old M3 E46/E92 and M5 E60 had a more special look ... Audi have that covered now ... but the M5 is a more engaging car to drive ...

that Audi looks stupid. Wayy to aggressive for an estate wagon. The performance the rs6 brings is disappointing too. Cost same as e63 or m5 only to be .5 sec slower.

Thanks!

would be a waste of time. bmw is at least 2 years behind mercedes and audi, sadly

BMW-> Best Mechanics Wehicle

@@_uknown_ wehicle lol

Glad you enjoyed it!

How’s it copying so all the manufactures that have awd copied Audi ? Can the Audi go into rwd from awd ? I agree with everything else besides you saying they’re copying

Romik Patel not saying they’re copying but they just looked and realised that Audi had a product that was good all year round and was generally always quicker in a straight line.

@@g9mtkvilla perhaps theyll copy Audi again, when BMW realise their cars have the build quality of a middle level Kia

Pseudo nym you’ve clearly never owned a bmw, idiot

@@matrics753 lol, Quite the contrary, you have to actually have owned BMWs to know that from the E90 onwards build quality has gone to the dogs... luckily ive owned more Beemers than youve had hot dinners. Furthermore, Ive owned both cars tested - sold the Comp for the RS6 because it was constantly in the shop and has some of the worst fit and finish I've experienced...and I own Vintage Alfas + Ferraris...so thats saying something... During the course of one year, I Replaced multiple dash buttons, replaced awd clutch plate, had gearbox lurching, creeping... short shifting and LC not working constantly... Go knock one out over the picture of one you have on your wall...I dont understand fanboys - when you grow up, youll realise, if you can afford to, you no longer need to show blind allegiance to a particular brand - you merely buy the car that is best at the time.

Thanks! It’s Singapore Grey Metallic.

Thank you!

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.

CAR Magazine sorry mate but your wrong. The optional steel springs give a much softer ride than even air suspension.

Not sure where you’ve heard that Mohammad, but afraid it’s incorrect!

@@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.

You had me dying on a toilet. I just smoked one... 😂

Maybe he feels comfortable that way or has a better view being closer? Did you want him to lay down on his belly and drive?

That’s a track driver setup. Arms with about 90 degree bend. How you want to be when driving fast.

Kayden Kelly Agreed, especially rally drivers.

Because he’s 12 leave him alone lol.

Actually it makes perfect sense as you want to be able to move your arms as much as possible without taking your hands off the wheel during fast driving

680hp 😯😯

​@@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.

VAG is going the all-plastic-thousand-screens-fingerprints-allover road. Happy to have a more simple and basic interior.

What years is your car?

I did in 2.8 sev

true

I think he is tiny lol

When Merc brought the E63 AMG s to the party fight after the M5 was released people didn't get it then but now they do.

Or have a second car... most RS6 owners, have a second car... Lets be honest, why would you track your super saloon? Thats what 911s are for... an RS6 is infinitely better as a daily road car than the M5... I know, Im selling my comp... an utter dog to own...has the build quality of a Kia.

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.

Probably because, in the UK at least, you can no longer order the “regular” M5.. we just have the competition version available.

James David Holland they should just make it the regular m5 then lol

Because the normal M5 killed the big daddy E63 AMG s. The competition is simply the last nail in the rivals coffin. From here on, its the super cars in its sight. schweettt...

As James David Holland pointed out, you can no longer buy an M5 in the UK.

Mr Marrow Seem being the operative word.

Its a dog to own mate... Im trading mine in for the RS6... Lets get real, noone tracks super saloons... I track my 911 touring... The Super Saloon is for bahn storming and driving to work... and for that the Audi runs 4 rings around the M5... The worst built car ive owned in years.

@@pseudonym6642 what problems have you had with the BMW?

@@almac9203 shuddy gearbox, constantly needing to go into the shop, trim/buttons peeling and wearing, overly complex, just to engage the ideal settings... including launch control... not suitable for inner city broken roads - just feels low rent in comparison to the new 63 and RS6 both inside and out.

Pseudo nym BMW is over complex? You have to use touch screen controls to change even something as basic as temp in the audi. It has shit over hauling touch screens everywhere. Idrive is way better

@@ahmetcanakkoyun979 right, because youve owned an M5, have you? Lol. all these keyboard car collectors, whove only ever driven said cars on Xbox.

Greens Player it’s not about looks, the m5 is gl for other people, m5 has a nicer interior, so if you don’t know about cars shut up

@@afegasdf76y123e in my opinion the rs6 interior looks better

Not practical? Will you try parking that Audio boat in a overcrowded city? lol

Doesn’t exist for us in the UK anymore!

Yeah right and I am a Lambo fan but I can take a KIA over an Audi.

@@kokochipssyd7686 don't cry you moron. Im also bmw fan and id take this RS6 any day.

TheEryk well then I’m audi fan and I would take the M5 anyday

A Real BMW fan doesn't do that Shame on you guys I worked at Mercedes Dealership after I drove all Mercedes AMG etc now I'm 100% convinced they are all crap

@Lukas believe or not long time ago I was more for mercedes, specially the 2012 c63 was my dream car same as the GTs Than I found out the first generation of the x6m racing ferrari, lamb's, rs6,.. Same for the m5 e60 a total beast. I drove all Mercedes over the years One car I didn't drove was the SLR but there was one in the garage All all of them maybach , s65 , s63 , sls ,gt , c63 you name and the quality and the performance is not the same as the BMW offers In my first 2 years I only saw 3 cars with headup display C63 , s500 and BMW f31 Lmao I mean there was once one bmw in the garage and had more options than all the other Mercedes. I'll be honest Audi has more quality than Mercedes cheap ass garbage quality. And Mercedes has more Performance than Audi BMW is 10 years ahead of all this cars

😂

Same lol

nah doesn't look as good

Sid Haha, it does IMO. Can't tell whether the beemer is an M Sport 🤔

@@nathandepasquale9571 the new one looks even worse imo... M5 for performance and RS6 for looks

The Hearse Edition? lol

Try filming in it.

M5 felt the pressure to go AWD 😂 other wise there would be no competition..

@Latvietis96 and who drives around the corners all the time.. Once a year maybe.

@Latvietis96 and who buys a BMW M5 just to take it to the autobahn.. I care more about the overall dally usefull and the utility of a car.. Snow wet dry and occasionally some twisty roads and thats why the RS6 was is still a much better package and thats why BMw felt the pressure to go AWD otherwise there was no competition and the rest of the automobile companys are going AWD cuz audi was is dominating..

@Latvietis96 😂 hahahahahahahahahaha thats your comeback.. More and more merc and bimmer drivers are switching to audi my friend.. Thats just to show you whats better. But whatever go buy your bimmer if you can afford one and geton w your life cocky bimmer fan boy..

Get your head our off your ass

M5 win 😁

Thanks Dave! Glad you enjoyed.

Becosue RS6 have mile hybrid system.
