Alright fellow sub-forum regulars. I have gone through my temporary mental spasm regarding the 528i M Sport and the A6 3.0TFSI Quattro. I have decided that the 300 hp and the 301 lb-ft of torque on the A6 are very strong arguments for the Audi.... but nothing beats the feel and handling of a BMW. Therefore, I am sticking with my original decision of the 5 series.

To all those who were irritated and shaking their heads about about my conundrum, my apologies. However, the delivery date of my car is still more than 2 months away. There may be some more episodes of epileptic judgment. For this I ask for your kind understanding and words of wisdom to direct me in the proper direction.

Now, the next indecision.

Do I go with a quad exhaust or stick to a dual exhaust system? If I go with quad, that would mean some serious modifications to the under tray of the car because I don't want to go with single muffler on the left and a "dummy" pipe on the right. I would also need to get a new rear diffuser or the M5 rear bumper.

I am awaiting your opinions!

I really wish the 535i was available in Korea. When I first decided to get a new car, I was originally wanting to get an M5, but the current E60 goes 'end of life' in the spring of 2010 and the F10 will be released into the market. I think North America gets the F10 in the fall of 2010 and Korea will get it about 2 to 3 months after that. Dependant on that, I figured it wouldn't be worth it to spend over US$120K for any car that is going to change soon. Therefore I settled on the 528i, since the 535i is not available. When the M5 version of the F10 comes out, I'll be the first to sign up for one!

While you are deciding, you should just do the mods on your 535i. Did you read my previous post?

I think most of us would go with the LM-R given that the road conditions where we live didn't look like the surface of the moon.
