[NAC] BMW M5 v. Audi

[TM]

Sorry for the non-quattro content, but does anyone else
think that the E39 M5 has a really lame engine sound?
To me, the car sounds like a big vacuum cleaner all the
time. Also, it feels really heavy, although the weight
seems to not be a factor while driving it, as the brakes
can really haul you down from speed and the car corners
really well. The car manages to accelerate at a quite
thrilling pace as well. It's so powerful that I'm very
wary of all that available torque and the ease that you
can turn on that yellow DSC light.

I'm waiting to drive the S8, just to see how it compares.
I guess a manual transmission S6 would be the closest
thing.

Just a useless, random thought posting for the day. More
serious content in the next post.
