Need to replace my A6 Quattro TDi in a month or so.

It’s fast enough at 5 seconds to 60, so wanted something as quick but preferably petrol. The electric boosted exhaust on the tdi is annoying after a while.

Always fancied an M5 but the rear wheel drive after being able to pretty much just stamp on the throttle with the Quattro gives a bit of concern?
S6 seems pretty decent. Possible S8.

Thoughts? Is an M5 rwd for the brave? Also looking at the M6 grand coupe. I tend to buy main dealer so warranty expected.

The M5 will be fine but there will be times when the traction will be limited, if you're used to just nailing the throttle then yes you may have issues.

Out of the Audi's the S8 would be my pick.
