New Audi RS 6 or BMW M5 Comp, which one is best? 

As an Audi fan, I fully respect your opinion and I love how honest your opinion is.

Rs6 just has the presence. When you see one on the road they look brutal.

Joe's videos convinced me into getting a M car, and I am an AMG fan. Picked up a f10 M5 Comp, loving it!!!

Both absolute beasts. Personally I’d choose the RS6. Stunning car.

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.

Hope you enjoy this one folks! Which would you have, RS 6 or M5 Competition?

Would take the RS6 in a heart beat, but couldn't afford to change a single tire!

Love the look of the Audi. But from what I know about the driving dynamics, I’d take the BMW..

This is no competition for the m5 comp

I’m a BMW guy, but damn that RS6 has presence!

RS6 for me. Better looking, more versatile, and as fast as what you need. Probably more comfortable in comfort mode and is cheaper.

RS6. Just look at it! Dayummmm

Audi for sure

I have always been a BMW fan but Joe has made me appreciate them even more now! Great Videos!!

M5 Competition all day everyday!!!!

This is the ultimate tool to drive down to the French Alps from England with the car full of kids......

Doesn’t matter if the bmw is faster, the rs6 is just so good looking 👀😍

The RS6 is more suitable for everyday use than the M5. If you have family and want to transport something, the Audi is the first choice.

Camshall is lovely. Reminds me of the RS6 scene in Layer Cake - the best use of an RS6 and The Cult.

RS6 is so beautiful in navarra blue. Like if you agree👍🏻

I absolutely love the RS6, however as an owner of F85 X5M (and many other previous BMW's) I know that the driving experience in the RS6 won't be as good as the M5c. Gorgeous looking car though that RS6 and sounds amazing too

I'd have the rs6 thou archie Hamilton puts me off it abit

I may not like BMW’s but great 👍🏻 job Joe on quality of video and your descriptions are very knowledgable

Must confess id go for the estate all the time don’t get me wrong that bmw is stunning

That RS6 looks like no other car.very beautiful

RS6, yes! This is the car that made me join your channel all those years ago...

The Audi looks incredible

RS6 everyday! Love fast 4wd estates.

The best BMW fanboy reviewer so far! I love how you’re arguing about both sides and isn’t overly biased. Keep it up!

Audi Fan and Owner here, 2016 RS7 Prestige and an 2016 A3 1.8T SLine... don't get me wrong, the BMW is a great machine but the RS6 Avant is beyond this time...absolutely gorgeous, practical and diverse..you can use it as your daily ride, taking kids to school (my case and that's how I use my RS7) or to go to the track and hunt supercars.

Rs6 so beautiful, don't care about slightly worse performance I would rather be in the better looking car.

Audi for me any day

I’d take the RS6 anyday over the M5Comp. I like the BMW too tho.

RS6 for me as I'm a family man & love the idea of a fast practical estate car. Would love to see it compared with Alpina B5 Touring tho. Joe, would you review a E63 AMG estate as some point ?

Damn that RS6 is a sexy thing

I'm a BMW owner, and I have to say, that audi looks the nuts.

Mega video mate. So well put together and mega views already 👏

Joe is the most honest car reviewer out there on YT , he mentioned all important things like About Price , Fuel consumption , Comfort level over B roads , that's awesome , please tell what the Avg MPG you're getting on this RS6

This would be a really difficult choice :O

M5 comp obviously

So a perfect wagon would be a car with AMG engine, BMW transmission and AUDI suspension?

M5. A sedan would always have a sportier behaviour and reactions. Nonetheless, RS6 is a sheer beast as well

:)) as a BMW fanboy..this RS6 looks really badass..love the "Wagon" style of Audi..but while driving, entertainment system with less touch screen features would suit me better, its more pratical for me to adjust things physically.

Audi's you smile big when you look at them, Beamers you smile big when you drive them.

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 😉

U say the RS6 is about the same as a m5 competition from a roll but on recent carwow drag race m5 competition flogged the RS6 from a roll

Great video Joe. I have owned both brands at this level and lean toward BMW, The worry is the new M5 is too harsh and that could swing it for the Audi. Always enjoy you videos, very insightful and objective. Nice camera work as well BTW.

Great video bud. I would have to go for the RS6, looks so good and much practical for the kids/dog, but I would just hate all the touchscreen futuristic styling. Luckily I don’t have a spare £100k to drop on a car so won’t ever have to make the choice 😂

I really love your review which is so well considered and thought out. Surprise, surprise, I am a BMW fan, but I love the Audi RS6, not just because it's a wagon, but definitely because it has a panoramic glass roof, which to my knowledge, you can't spec on a BMW M5. Besides, I would be the guy enjoying blasts down the country road rather than ever going to a track, which is perhaps where the BMW M models are damned near unbeatable. Great video, Joe!

Always the Quattro 😀

What about Alpina B5 touring?

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.

Hmm that’s a tricky question! Aesthetically l, they’re both stylish. I think I’d go for the M5 competition. I’ve not seen a single RS6 in the state - until 2021 out here in Utah.

Great video Joe, as an Audi fan man thank you. I think when Audi release their “Performance” range, it will be very interesting to revisit the two cars as they will be more aligned going head to head. Cheers!

Estate over saloon all day every day.

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

Loving the 4K Joe, great work!

This was a question I guess we've all been waiting the answer to isn't it? excellent take Joe!

Its not even a comparison M5 comp is the fastest 4 door, the rs6 had no chance for speed. But the RS6 is a bit more comfortable and more practical. They are both really technological. For me id take a pre lci M5 comp, fastest, hard and great looking. But its all depending on what you want. Exterior id take the RS6 it looks like a beast, interior id take the m5 I think it looks more luxurious and classy and I know BMW use better materials. If you want the ultimate performence 4 door M5 comp, if you dont care about speed thar much and want comfort, rs6. Speed and less comfort, m5.

The best all round car in the world the Audi RS6

Owned BMWs and AUDIs... Both excellent brands but Audi has the edge on design and interior quality! Power and handling is kinda even on the top end models IMO!. We choose our champions and pay our money but both are excellent driving experiences. 👏🏼👏🏼

Love your work, Joe! So now that you have established M5 still being the King - something all of us BMW fan boys wanted to hear - what’s your take on M5 Comp vs. AMG E63S?

Let’s be honest. Whichever you decided to pick out the two, you are not going to regret it. Both pretty epic cars to be fair.

5 star channel!!! Two amazing cars and the best person to review them,thanks Joe

I’ve not watched this yet. Audi

Another stonking video Joe. Thanks. I've had my RS6 Vorsprung with ceramics for 3 months now and loving it. It has several squeaks and rattles from the dasboard but that might be cos' I specified the carbon trim instead of the one in your review. For me it's the RS6 but the M5 looks fantastic too. A very informative, interesting and entertaining video. Many thanks Joe, Simon

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.

Baddest wagon on planet Earth!!!

I’ve seen you on car wow before never watched your videos, I like them there’s a lot of info well done joe 👍🏻😃

Absolutely brilliant review. Joe is getting better and better.

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%

I'm an Audi man as well .. but even though I disagree (I feel the BMW is more track focused) I appreciate the excellence of this review.

Another superb review Joe!....Thank you for all your fantastic content....

My two current favorite cars going at it? Thanks Joe!

Joe is good, I was a bit scared of him, but he's a good guy.

Audi rs6 all the way. I just love the design

Using the same roads as Harry Metcalf? Great video. I wish I had to choose between the two.

1 of these ands a m2 competition would be a perfect garage for me. Long distance cruiser and a proper track car.

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.

The quality of your videos as well especially this one big thumbs up! It almost seemed like a movie just missing some good music here and there 🤩🥳

RS6 for me. Looks way better, better built, performance difference is negligible and its a Jekyll and Hyde- sometimes you just want to cruise in comfort. Its got it all. (I have an S5 2017 at the moment and absolutely love it. No touch screens either!)

Both are stunning machines but I'd probably take rs6. Especially in that blue colour

I love the m5 but when you hear that rs6 engine you fall in love

I wouldn't mind having either one but m5 comp for me ultimate drivers car the audi rs6 v10 bk in the day was an absolutel monster tho

Cams is just down the road from me, but I didn’t recognise the on road driving sections. Keep up the good work !

Great video Joe, and very well balanced. I love the spec of that particular RS6 as well. Also loved some of the B-roll, made it look like a proper professional production 👍

I think Audi are killing it with the styling in recent years.

Owning a car like this is about emotion and not so much facts ... IMHO. The RS6 (for me) is a more special car than the M5C, and then it looks better and is easier to live with ride/boot etc. No contest for me. Great review Joe.

RS6❤️❤️❤️

Im a BMW fan too, but I would def get a RS6. As a hatchback owner, RS6 suits me better for my everyday driving experience.

It's the ride comfort that does it for me. Who wouldn't want to live with the RS6 daily.

After seeing both in person I would go with the Audi it's a lot more stunning in person than it is in pictures.

Great vid. Probably best camera action and editing yet mate. Epic.

Why not compare m5 comp vs rs7

As a family man, I'd take the RS6, if I wasnt I'd def take the BMW. You could take either one and wont regret it me thinks

When you first pulled away the Audi sounded like a Muscle car with the bypass cutouts engaged!!! What a rumble i heard through my earphones but Joe a very honest review as we have become accustomed to. Lovely agreeive looks to it and practical as you said but you will need adequate Conkers to own one or a very sympathetic credit dealer!!!

used to be a big Audi fan, not a BMW fan, never liked the driving position (5ft 9in), saying that I have driven a Mercedes Brabus Vito (V32) the past 4 years, been thinking about a change, perhaps its time to re-visit the Audi range, great video.

BMW M5🖤🚀🔥❤️

I'm glad that bmw do not add soft limiters

In test driving an Audi TT, RS3, and S3 I always ended up purchasing a BMW (most recently LBB M2 Comp w DCT) for many of the same reasons that are stated in this comparison. The Audi interior looks better but the BMW’s is more comfortable and the tech is easier to use. Same thing when comparing the drive. Sure an RS3 is super quick but an M2 Comp just feels sharper and more engaging. Both great cars but for my taste, BMW every time.
