I'm just struggling with the love for BMW versus the thunderous noise and speed of the RS7. |

Money is relative so its hard to gauge what one is willing to give up and gain to pay more for. Both the M and the RS7 are great cars; I kept my M5 for 6 months and am coming up on my half year celebration with the RS7. I modded both but the full tune on the RS7 and the AWD has me still loving the car. Ill keep it until December..... LOLOLOLOL

True though, it's all relative in the end. But, 40-45% more money for a car with the same price is a hard pill to swallow at the moment. If you give up the RS7 in December, let me know. I'll snag it and have it wrapped in Sepang Pearl |

thanks for the review, I don't know how I missed this until you pointed me to this thread!
Your car in the first set of photos seems to sit much higher than the red one I saw at the dealer, maybe it's because of the aftermarket wheels you put on it? Was the resonator removal a bolt-on and removal or did it have to be cut? After reading your review now I need to go back to the dealer to drive it. This is the only super sedan I have not driven. The m5 I drove was a DCT and it had blistering acceleration but too quiet and isolated feeling. The Pana GTS is the most "Alive" car of the bunch thus far. Would you say the RS7 is faster than the M5? Exhaust note is very important to me....as much as I love white cars, I am really thinking of doing something different (Either a blue, black) this time around. Are you planning to sell yours? If so please let me know....

The resonator is a cut and weld process and is very simple to do. I have since pulled both the mid and back resonators keeping the remainder of the system stock and the noise level is probably up about 40% from Idle to WOT with the burbles and pops being much more noticeable. I cant see myself wanting to put an aftermarket exhaust on the car like I did on my F10 M5 and F13 M6; those cars were silent in comparison. So for 300 dollars I have a great sounding car I really enjoy the car, stock it is very fast from a dig (faster than an M5) and it will carry this lead into a quartermile no doubt. The M5 will do better from a roll with its RWD platform and DCT tranny but the gaps are close. The RS7 has a "full blown" tune and it will pull higher 10's in the quarter and close to 130 mph trap (tune only on 93). I am not selling my car at this time
