Sorry, but do you really think that a 450 hp turbo Audi can beat a 500 hp naturally aspirated BMW. If so I think you are sadly mistaken. A 5 speed Audi vs. BMWs 7-Speed SMG, which is probably that fastest transmission in the world. Naturally aspirated power is soooo much better then turbo because of lag. The E60 5-series handles better then the E-Class and the Audi 6 cars according to everyone (C&D, EVO, CAR). Can't be certain on the M5's handling v RS6's because nobody's drivin the M yet, but if the trend continues then the bimmer will probably win that one. Styling... really thats an opinionated thing that cant be scientifically tested, but when I first saw the bangle styled E60, i hated it. I saw it as the next step in the downfall of BMW styling after the 7-series and the Z4 (which i still dont like as much as the Z3). However after a year or so of seeing the E60, i think its grown on me. While I still dont like Bangle, I like how the new M5 looks with the M bodywork. So where the M5 falls short of the RS6 (except possibly styling) I still cant really see.
I read somewhere that the price was going to be somewhere between $80,000 and $90,000. Similar to the E39 M5.
