On a personal note, I did consider the S6 though. What drove me away from it was the styling(you can't tell the difference between A4,A6,A8) and the lack of interior space. As big as the car it is, it's pretty small on the inside. It also can't match the comfort of the F10 series.
Still it's a nice alternative never the less.

I did'nt say it's as good as the M5 but ALMOST AS GOOD and for A LOT CHEAPER. If you want to know why, just read the review against the M5 and E63! Also you will be surprise to learn that the S6 also does the 0-60 in 3.7 and the 1/4 mile in 12.1 at 115mph, that is fast, A LOT faster then the 550i! Even with a tune the 550i would not match that trap speed so imagine a tune on the S6!! It's well known that Audi underated their engines, just look at the S4 and S8 performances!
As far as styling, it's all subjective but to me the S6 looks more like a special bread of car compered to the 550i which just look like a normal 5 series. Everything from the seats, the trims, the S6 badge all over the car makes you feel like you're in something really exclusive!
And for the interior space, I'm pretty sure they are both similar, you know the germains, Merc E, BMW 5 and audi 6, all similar!!
I'm not bashing your car but it's obvious that Audi has done something more special with the S6 then BMW with the 550i, if seing it compared to the M5 does'nt convice you, I don't know what will!
