I had an M5 for a week on demo as was very much thinking I would go from my M3 into it's bigger brother. While I think the M5 is an amazing peice of kit and I did love it to drive it is definatly alot heavy and feels a bit clumbsy on the road. Mind you not a problem in Miami.......

The RS4 make's a better noise IMO but do what other have done drive them both and see what you think.

good luck
Current car..... hmmmmm????

I believe M5killer is talking about the BMW Alpina b5 this is basically the normal 4.4ltr V8 found in a 545i but it has a supercharger bolted on. I believe figures are around 492bhp so not far off an M5.

I know you’re not talking about a B5 RS4 I meant this B5 Alpina

I think M5killer was saying go have a look and drive of one before you set your heart on the M5.

Of course you should 100% go and test drive a B7 RS4 too...... :wink:

thanks thats exactly what i meant and the alpina b5 is between 500-507 bhp in reality its actually more but because of the politics with bmw m powered cars and alpina they keep their figures below that of m5, the b5 has much more torque as well...
