Test drove the RS5 a couple weeks ago. The car is beautiful inside and out. Simply a stunner in person. The engine is superb, high revving V8 sound was a dream. Throttle blips on down shifts were impressive. We drove to the dealership in my buddies C63. It felt just as fast if not faster due to the awd.

The premium over an equally equipped S5 is well worth it. Like others have said above, RS5 will hold their value far more than a S5. But it doesn't matter to most BMW owners, because most of them are just "renting" their cars anyways.
