Vic, thanks for your reviews ... so overall except exhaust sound since it's personal preference (however I agree with your ranking in exhaust sound) M5 is the winner, correct ?

Its too hard to say actually since the only 4 door I have now is the RS7 and I am happy with it. But in 4 months I could be bored and move on but as I ranked whats the most fun to drive for me- I like the RS7. I enjoyed my M5 but it lasted only 6 months; maybe because a v10 R8 replaced it? Who knows but I have ADD or car acquisition for sure The Jag F type R Coupe looms heavily too with its simple tune and pulley for 100 more whp.

Great insight and I appreciate the review. The only thing I would add, which is not relevant to the people in warm places, is that the shifter on the RS7 changes from the one with the round knob (see pics below) to the standard shifter found in A7/S7 if you get the cold weather pkg b/c of the heated steering wheel. On my test drive, the CA told me that steering wheel and shifter are linked in their system for some reason.

So this is where Vic has ventured to recently. Much respect and thanks for the great write up. I'm inclined to test drive this car now just to satisfy my curiosity.

IDK the Jag pill is an easy swallow seeing that its got a tighter chassis and stronger suspension vs the S class and its ABC set up. I like the S Coupe but its big; maybe Ill drop the SL for that car as I can't have 3 benzes in the stable haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

They don't delete threads that provide value and they created this subsection for members to provide input. If you are an admin (I am on the largest Benz site) you would appreciate the spirit of car discussions in general and the M5post leaders are no different. I agree, this forum rocks.

A good pic that actually reflects the entire car and the top side as well. The KW HAS have been ordered:

Ill flash it as as soon as GIAC is ready!!!!! I am actually more interested in the trap speed and getting over 130mph from the tune but I doubt that happens out here with the Cali DA.

That is a really brilliant white color - the wrapped roof looks great and is needed to offset that color a little IMO. RS7 is a beast; I'd be very afraid at a stoplight... The KW should be game changer for both looks and performance~ Nicely done
