M5 is also much more luxurious. I was sitting in the Audi S models at the South Florida Auto SHow, and the interiors seemed a little cheap - especially on S6 and S7 where there is lots of plastic and no full leather option.

Speaking of the South Florida Auto show BMW didn't bring much. The most interesting things on display for BMW were the Matt 650 GC and the 650cc Scooter
I know what you mean about the S6/S7/S8, overall I think the Audi S models present a strong alternative to the 550i/750i. Although, once the new N63 TU motors start showing up the advantage - performance wise - should be in BMW's favor.
RS5 is nice - not over an e92 M3, but definitely over the C63 - no question..
