I like the V10 BMW more in sound. It sounds more visceral or at least that's my impression after seeing that video. What intrigues me is that an M5, delimited, is faster at the top end than what they say about the audi "supercar".
For that money i'd go for a 911. Beware that Porsche wasn't a fool with this new Audi R8 V10. Soon in a few months a faacelifted Turbo will come out, which will be probably faster than the Audi, more powerful and rumors say they will introduce the new PDK on the Turbo.

Very nice.
It seems that Audi is really able to make fantastic niche cars like the R8 and S5 - if they are able to spread this magic to their entire lineup, BMW is in trouble.

Come on man who on Earth will buy an R8 V10 when at that cash you can buy a Lambo Gallardo. It's the same engine, a tad more expensive YES (like a few K will count for smth at that car price range) BUT a tad more powerful, a bit faster, sounds better, more exotic etc etc etc. IMHO Audi will sell shit with the new R8 V10 especially in this financial/economical situation.
