Can't the wife's SQ5 suffice as the family truck thus permitting a toy?

Surely RS6 is no bigger than the M5 as a footprint.

The new Rs6 is bigger than a small cruise liner
I think, from memory, that it's a good couple of inches wider than an f10 M5 and about the same in length too

You think a couple of extra inches isn't much, confirm that wife your wife :)

I guess it didn't bother me when I drove the C7 having wafted around in a C6 for over four years. I recall the dealer laughing at the wife when she questioned the size of the Q7 provided as a loaner. Your RS6 is massive, don't worry about it!

If I ask the wife about inches the response will be predictable!

Surely the RS6 is bigger than an M5 in every department? Love your choice of colour, my B7 was mugello and I really believe it should be a standard colour on any genuine RS, it would be my choice but I could never bring myself to pay the extra.

It irks having to pay for paint, but the alternative (I didn't want two DG cars) was Misano, and with that you have to go carbon pack/mirrors. And, once in for penny balls to it, go hard or go home.

Carbon styling and Mirrors is definitely going balls deep
Fwiw. I met a guy recently in a service station (as you do) with a estoril rs6 that he'd had the window surrounds and grill painted or wrapped black and some aftermarket carbon mirror casings. Said it cost him <£1500 all in, which is a several thousand saving over factory and looked factory quality
