Brakes...never got a photo of the M5 brakes, maybe they didn't impress me enough once I'd seen this? :hihi:

Great pictures, really enjoy watching your pictures. It's an amazing job you do, big thanks!

Btw, do I have to mention that I'd like the RS6 over the M5? :hihi:

[Audiphile]

Amazing photos! Thanks. The RS6 Avant is a dream vehicle! The interior is just plain beautiful! The exhausts are threatening. Love the extended fenders the pics of the monster V10 5.2L 580 bhp.

Great photos Erik. Great work with the camera.

[artur777]

Erik, very cool photos!
Very nice!

[Rs6freak]

damn dude, your pics where better then p*rn to watch :)

[RussianM3_dude]

Well, the M5 is much older then the RS6. I think the next year's update should rectify things.

[GrantG]

It's nice to know the touring at least looks slightly better than the M5 saloon (not that it could look worse). Shame it still looks sh1t compared to the RS6.

Grear pics once again Eric thanks a lot.

I have to admit that the M5 touring looks great as well.

[AUDItor]

Last photo the best!

[DuckWingDuck]

Damn I love wagons. Both are amazing.

Well, the M5 is much older then the RS6. I think the next year's update should rectify things.

The one you're looking at is the latest facelift.

The one you're looking at is the latest facelift.

Mild cosmetic one.
