first impression after two days

- very low noise level in the inside / fits perfectly with the room feeling
- sovereign power, not pseudo-sporty like older Audi S-Models
- very good first impression about the cylinder shutdown
- in the positive sense unimpressive for a daily driver

Best regards

- Nice looking, but not overdone
- Small changes to the normal A6
- in a positive sense understatement, not showy
- I will post tomorrow some pics

a picture

A rainy day today...
The color is oolonggrey.

The question was initially: BMW M550d or Audi S6
Both have their advantages. But so far I`m happy with my decision.

The engine of the S6/S7 and the Bentley CGT V8 is basically the same but the one in the CGT V8/Audi S8 has some modifications, biggest things are bigger turbos and other pistons.

The difference between S6/S7 and S8 is just incredible, I never thought you could really feel the additional 100hp of the S8 so much in that big car, in terms of subjective performance it just feels much quicker. Still the S6/S7 is a very quick car and a awesome package. Only if it comes to the sound I am a bit disappointed from the S6/S7/S8, too decent and too silent for my taste. Hopefully RS6/RS7 will be a bit more aggressive

@mka: Nice car, the color is so cool, enjoy it!

Quit rubbing it in that you guys get have the ability to get a 550D and the S6 avant . Here in the states, those are not avialble (550D for sure but maybe not avant).
That is an amazing color and good job getting the Avant, just love that body style. Just noticed your stable, very well done sir.
Congrats again.
