My Ride: E90 M3
Model Year: 2011
Enjoy the new Audi! Overall a good looking car though the front grill is not to my liking, but that is simply a matter of personal taste.
Went through the same process when the lease was up on my '08 550, just could't do the F10. And yes, I test drove the car with the sports pkg. Ultimately went with the M3 as the interior space and amenities are very similar to my old 550.
Felt the same way about turning in the E60 550, great car! Unfortunately the residual was well above the market value at the time so made no sense to buy the car at lease end.

Nothing wrong with Audi - the only thing you may be giving up is handling (not so much nowadays). Enjoy the new ride!

Yeah the F10 is like a camry around me, so sick and tired of seeing it at every turn, the E60 had already been everywhere. 5-6 people in my development have an E60, 3-4 have a F10, only one Audi A7 and now my A6.
The A6, E Class, A7, etc are rare to see around me. The A7/A6 have only been out for a few months so I am sure you will see some more pop up soon.....but I don't mind lol, I rather be a bit unique, not like everyone down the block. If you go further south from me.....from northern westchester into lower westchester you start seeing a lot more A6/A7's.....depends on the area I guess.

OP is your car quattro? the AWD audi handle an AWD against and a RWD older Bimmer (E46/E39/E60 sports of course) are comparable to me.
Enjoy!

Just recently switched from an A4 to a 550. I had no complaints about my audi and now I'm actually wishing i'd kept it as a daily driver bc the gas is murdering me on the 550. Just like the BM's, find a good honest mechanic. Before I got the e60, I debated on the new a6's, those are so sweet. Enjoy the car, and I know this is the e60 forum but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see some more pics
