You can buy an E39 M5 for 35k, how much is the Audi?

no clue.... why? If you are comparing the price....back in 1998 it would be way more expensive than 39K....

true. I actually like the S6 but I dont know about it compared with 550i. I voted for the S6 (naturally) but I wish I knew the price now that I know the 5 is closer to its performance.

one thing that you should realize is that there is no competetor from BMW that competes with th S6...M5 is too powerful.....550i seems like it is not powerful enough....its closer to the 550i so that would be its competetor.....I'm actually guessing that the price is less than the RS4 and S8 so from 60,000 to 70,000 dollars.

hopefully. Id be curious as to which car is better around a track, S6 or 550i. I wish we had more Nurb times...

at the ring of course the S6 but at hockenheim a 550i with sportpackage has a chance to beat the S6

why do you think that? Becuase of long straightaways at nurb. It will be interesting can't wait till the mags start comparing the S6 with M5 or 550i.

I voted for 550i ... might sound strange but I didn't like the S6 ... I hate the idea of a powerful car with AWD ... if it was the new E500 with 5.5L .. I would vote for that instead ..

why do you vote for E550 instead? Cause it has more horsepowers? Anyway, E550 wouldn't help for me.

Im surprised that E500 has 5 votes already ...crazy.

Just_me: I know it is less fun to drive compared to 550i .. but I dunno .. i find the E500 with sport package more attractive than the 550 ... BTW here in UAE u could have the "M5 Look" for almost 10K Euro .. no one could tell it is a 550 .. and that might help the looks of the 550 .. but it will be redicoulesly pricy ..
