Audi RS4 B5 vs BMW M5 E60

[trev0006]

Audi RS4 B5 vs BMW M5 E60 The M5 has great top end.

[KNaudi]

I'd still rather own an RS4. straight line speed has never been the main appeal of any Audi.

[GypsySmash]

I wonder how an rs6 would have done

I'd love to see this race with a GT'd RS4.

[kbS42001]

nice...still rather have the rs4

fixed, it should be noted that the M5 isnt exactly a poor handling car. That said, this is a Audi forum and id take my RS4 in silver.

[Tiluleshpingen]

why race a car that is 4 years older then the other and is 120hp more ..i dunno

[chinareaper]

v6 vs v10? ko4? i dont think so

[BENI_BOY]

v6 vs v10? ko4? i dont think so

lol man the key word is rs4 which = k04s stock.

but it would be nice to see an rs4 with 60 lb injectors and a sick ass tune

[The_Jerbel]

^^ yup.

or even a healthy stage 3 or 3+...

[stamps]

i do love that interior though

[Militant-Grunt]

That was a bone stock RS4 lol. A well running stage 2+ S4 will rape a M5, much less a Stage 3.

video said RS4 tuned in top right corner though.

And a C6 Rs6 should fair well (unlike the C5) and pretty much hold it's own vs the E60 M5.

Stage 2+ rape an E60 M5? I'm not buying it. A strong Stage 2+ puts down, what, close to 300awhp? The E60 M5 puts out 500 crank. S4 weighs about 3600-3700 lbs, M5 about 4100. Can't see a Stage 2+ taking one in any roll race, especially not at high speeds. The M5 (even the E39) has VERY potent top-end power.

Stage 3 would take one, sure, but not a 2+.

NOT a E60 M5.. E39 possible

[HelthInsXpert]

I'm with Gun, I love the RS4 but the M5 is an incredible car and in almost stock form it's really impressive. I mean we could all probably give it a run for it's money with stage 3, but the M5 is almost bone stock and 500hp. (althought I'm sure we all spend less on the stage 3 cars we have........) I dunno, It's a toss up.

evilempire's healthy stg3 put 2 of them to the sword.. modifed ones.

500hp...8250rpm...7 speeds...nuff said

However, we don't know just how tuned the RS4 was...K&N intake? LOL

[Rickson]

Audi RS4 B5 vs BMW M5 E60 The M5 has great top end.

THis video comes from M5board.... moreover I am pretty sure the RS4 is stock. In this way it is V6 vs V10, 507hp Vs 380hp..... thus nothing amazing ....with a difference of 127hp ... In the same way compare a stock RS4 with a 328i .....

[veggiemonster]

v10 has so much advantage over a v6 on the highway tho....

and its not a wagon...

[s4andtls]

I outran a new M5 last year 3 times in 2 minutes UNTIL he decided to put his engine into the 500hp mode. I have a strong 2+. For a couple of minutes I figured that was the only reason I kept pulling on him from 50-130 .

[UkuRiSh]

Im agree whit " Rickson " . For sure That was stock rs4 i did race whit BMW M6 on my STG 3 and i was going at 3-5 cars faster , we did roll from 40 to 120 Mph ...

[Bimmerchop]

The RS4 is NOT stock, but neither is the M5. Here's some more footage from that day...

I was waiting for someone to say it. That motor in the m5 is just spectacular, especially in a little car:

Whats better for the RS4 IMHO, is it has a proper manual transmission. Not some stupid flappy paddle that my Grandma could use.

M3 V10..


it even sounds fast

[Vegas34]

It seems like an apples to oranges comparison. The M5 would have to battle the RS6 (non-wagon) to keep the classes the same. The RS4 will destroy the M3, which is the same class. Right?

I almost bought a 2002 M3 before my 2001.5 S4 and even though she pisses me off from time to time, it was the right decision. Even better when comparing what I would have paid for the Bimmer...

But I agree, the M5 is a BMFer

[Vegas34]

Oh, and a MAJOR +1 from me on the "proper manual" comment. I was so happy Audi opted to keep the 6 speed gearbox in the new S4's...they almost didn't. I was having the feeling the whole world was trying to push us "shifters" out. :-)

wow,


i like rs4, but love the e60 m5

Boooo. I don't see why a manual transmission makes someone a "non grandma" because it's an acquired skill.

Why did Ferrari not offer a traditional manual in the Enzo....? Because the "stupid" flappy paddle gearbox is alot faster. Does pushing a pedal in (the clutch) to shift gears really make the experience of shifting your own gears THAT much more sweet? Not trying to debate, just raising some points of contention.

Oh, and E39 M5 or bust for me. Don't like the E60s. The V10 is monstrous, but V8 > V10 for me, any day, always.

Yes.

[blmlozz]

" flappy paddle gearbox is alot faster. Does pushing a pedal in (the clutch) to shift gears really make the experience of shifting your own gears THAT much more sweet? Not trying to debate, just raising some points of contention.

yes, it does. Paddle shifters are for people that spend more time driving grandma to the doctor or showing off their car than acutaly driving.

[Sleeeper X]

Although Mr EvillEmpire might deny it but , I beat him and I put the fucking hurtin on a modded M5 3 cars from 60-140.

e85 was used on both runs, evilllempire was on a 102~107 mix, m5 on pump.

this ...

it's a predictable outcome. the E60 is a phenomenal car, but for me, i think i'd rather have an E39 if i were to get an M5. to be honest, it's only been in recent years that the E39 became able to compete with the E34 for my affection/attention.
