Is the RS4 B7 old hat

Howdy all
I have owned two B7's before once in 2014 and once in 2015, the first with a milltek and second with a JCW weldfab, both cars had stage 2 by MRC
I have also since owned a RS6 C6, Audi A7 bi turbo black edition, A S8, and more recently a BMW m5 F10 twin turbo 4.4 v8
Its worth noting i do sell my cars often if i find a reason too, i started a business in 2014 and have justified all the sales for this reason, usually a summer purchase with a end of summer sale at not much cost but tops business account back up to levels needed
The problem is i find the f10 lacking, its a lovely car, drives so nice is insainly fast with the DMS remap i have done (720 bhp) it puts you on the edge of your seat when pushing but i just find the rest of the time it lacks, well anything.
no noise
no special looks
a lovely auto box but its all to easy
a bit bland all around
I find myself looking again at Audi RS4's this time a supercharged car. I have seen it this week and do not feel it has aged any, its not like other 2006 cars where the panels look like bricks, its still a lovely looking car as standard.
I remissness to the times i owned a RS4, if your driving fast or slow it has a presence about it, a noise that cannot be matched by any modern turbo cars, wide arches, bucket seats, a kind of retro feel without going back to the 80's etc etc.
My f10 is worth 30 odd K, a supercharged Rs4 7 years older is 25 odd k, am i mad? is it truly that wonderful drivers car that i remember. I can get out my m5 at a carpark and walk away, with my old RS4's you couldn't help but look back a few times?
how have you guys found the RS4 when comparing to more modern cars? has anybody had the same as me?
