I must be among the absolute minority here. When i am choosing a car in this category or a sports car, I don't care if it has good stereo, sat nav, interior design, iDrive or equivalent, bluetooth, etc...So long as none of them irritates me too badly, I am ok. I tend to only care about drivetrain, chasis tuning, handling feel, grip, performance, etc...Exterior need not be gorgeous, but doesn't hurt if it is. It mustn't be ugly that's for sure...

No they aren't and I didn't configure them. They arrived at the dealer loaded to the gills. I think you misunderstood my post. I said I won't choose one over the other based on those items. I din say i don't need or use them.

My 07 Yukon is a base bottom line. Then the fun began. Lowered on ground force kit. 22's. tints, ken wood double din, JL Audio x2 amps and JL speakers all around. Sometimes base models make a better car.

Personally, I am not a fan of the Audi finish either. Not a fan of the exterior looks as well but that is all very subjective.

I just found this . It's over a month old, but pretty good. I've always enjoyed the Rosenthal videos. Looks pretty cool in Original too!
Honestly I'd rather have an S6 than an RS7, I'm just a sedan guy.

You would like the California. Definite higher position. Just not as sporty feeling. Very easy to love though. Highly responsive car with comfort. Electronics no match for the M or P cars however.

The 991 is like a glove around my not so buffet like chassis. Its easily a daily driver and even a long driver (plus 200 miles). The 18 way buckets put the M5 seats to shame. Yes its a sports car, yes its not the M5 but it was brought up so ... when in rome.

M5 seats are really nice - but just so - far from amazing. The multi-contour seats with the active bolsters in my '09 E60 M5 were significantly better.

I concur--- I had an E63 M6 and those seats were awesome. My SL63 has crazy adjustments via the Nav screen. There are 10 levels of side bolsters, 10 levels of thigh bolsters amongst a myriad of other options. I know some buyers dont like the dynamic seats but I do (the ones where the sides press in on turns).

I wonder why Bmw m division decided to not go all the way out for this new platform. They should really have made it stand out from the other 5 series. For this kind of money there's no excuse for the seats to be fully laid. Fully leather limiter delete. I think I need to tell them how to do right next time.

As you noted, they are all great cars in their own right. Would love to own an AMG at some point. In fact, in many ways I prefer the interior over the BMW. In many ways I don't. Audi interior appointments are my least favorite of the three. And Porsche, well you know the story there :-) Btw...look for a new thread with the baddest, sweetest, fastest, meanest ride you've seen in a while...not from me but a board friend. Coming soon. You'll know when you see it. Been drooling over this car for two days now.

Did you buy a beautiful RS7? Its a sleek super car, and people tends to be happy when the see the shape of the car. I have a M5, and i still love the RS7.

RS7 and RS6 have the same engine/transmission/suspension the only difference is how they look. I think that most of you know Chris Harris and below you can find his opinion on the matter:

As I posted in the dark side thread below- Im thinking about this car. Not because its better but because its different. Ive never had an AWD sedan (mid to full size that is) and this thing is quite big at 197 inches long. I drove it and was impressed with several things but it was a short drive and placebo effect was in full force Im sure. The sound of the car is very impressive: barks and burbles and a nice deepness to it not commonly heard in a smaller displacement turbo engine.
I can place an order and back out at any time so Ill probably do just that. The Dynamic package with steel springs vs air suspension and std and diagonal shocks seems intriguing as I hate that ever prevalent body roll in heavier cars and this thing is portly at 4500 lbs. I didnt test drive one with the DP as its not out yet but avail for order.
