Well, they aren't really in the same class or for the same purpose so a bit hard to compare. The A8 is definitely much bigger then the M5 and a little less expensive with the 4.2L V8. The A8 also has a 12 cylinder 6L engine available for $30K more. The A8 can't compare in raw performance to the M5 with its 4.2L engine. However, both cars are super nice and deserve a test drive. I would say go with the S8 over the A8 if you are getting the Audi. No matter what car you choose to spend your $100K+ annual salary on I hope you enjoy it. Oh, I hope there are no potholes where you live or you'll be spending plenty of time at the tire shop with the 35 profile tires these cars come standard with.

If that is your only options take the BMW M5 I wouldn't give a quarter for an Audi. However I have friends with a BMW and they are working on something all the time.

Well, if you get the A8 with the V10 or V12, then performance isn't really a factor. In that case, I'd go with the Audi. Even with the V8, it would still be a close match
