The RS7 is a straight line monster. The low end torque along with a better stock exhaust (I initially had the sports exhaust and then changed to an Akra) was amazing.

The F90 does everything else better and with an exhaust upgrade, it now sounds just as good if not better. I went with an Akra + primary catless DP set up and have no complaints!

I'm on the quest for a better exhaust sound too but I'm a bit stingy when it comes to exhaust for unknown reasons

I've heard the popular ones in person on some F90's and here's my take.

The M sport exhaust is good for a reasonable cost but it wasn't good enough for me coming from what I had on the RS7.

IMO, if you don't want to splurge, I would go for the Remus. It's priced very fairy and sounds very good.

If you want the loudest, maybe a little obnoxious with your neighbors going crazy, Eisenmann race lol.

I personally went with the Akra as the sound is an exotic loud but not crazy. Plus you recoup majority of what you invest as the resale price on used units hold their value.

Remus is my plan B after resonator delete,
And I probably don't need the car back if I am deleting the front resonator anyway,

Thanks again

My 4 was the best & most fun car I ever owned. My first M and my first ED. The 5 is a step up. I love driving the 5. It feels heavier and you can also feel all four tires pushing & pulling when you accelerate.

I would've loved to keep my 4. But couldn't afford to pay for both.

I do also believe that M4 looks more ///M and arguably the best looking M ever

As you know, totally different in every way. S8 just rides so smooth in nearly every road condition. The suspension and large 21" tires/wheels just takes the bumps and imperfections in stride. And the S8 is just fast for it's size. I had a RS7 with Stage 1 tune before the S8 Plus and it was a blast. APR makes a good tune for Audi!

Did RS7 handle corners and in general better than M5 F90? It is about same weight but different take! The interior with no FULL LEATHER OPTION AND NO 3 seats in the back swayed me away more than once from pulling the trigger on RS7

The RS7 can't touch the M5C in the handling department!

I had a serious problem with the lack of leather dash and the cheap plastic in the back between the seats. At least the S8 feels more like a luxury car for the same price. I like the look of the RS7 in many ways, but didn't like the cheap interior and lack of modern tech inside the car.

The reason Audi pulled me from BMW in the first place was because they offer active cruise control and all-wheel drive on all the performance cars (RS7, S8, etc) I would consider. BMW didn't offer dynamic cruise control nor did they offer AWD so I was out of the brand and said I wouldn't come back until they did. Well, they do now...so I'm back.

Absolutely! Clearly it is subjective but I'm with you on this. I came from the M4 and it remains the best looking BMW I've ever owned.
