Its also alot faster than the new RS4 once moving. A friend of mine has an RS4 and an impromtu drag race against my CSL proved there was absolutely nothing in it up to silly speeds. I once came up against an M5 and from a starting point of 90mph i gave up after 3 seconds as the M5 was long gone, its relentless.
Make no doubt about it the new M5 has epic performance, SL55, 911tt, ferrari 550's are all gobbled up above 100mph

Talk of "gobbling up" other cars above 100mph is largely irrelevant outside of the pub and macho Evo magazine articles. Even in Germany (which is the only place you can indulge in serious foot to the floor antics above 100mph without fear of being banned, put in jail or having your car confiscated) traffic, restricted sections of road and poor road surfaces often get in the way of such activities.
I'm sure the E60 M5 is a superb car though. It's just a pity that to date they've not released a more family friendly estate version.

Speaking from experience (of car life with a toddler, not the 996 or M5 
) I doubt any non estate car can cope with baby's first trip to Xmas at the grandparents.
RS6 Avant if I had a similar choice, or keep the car you love and chop in the 120 for an A6 avant / 5 series touring
