Easily the EVO.

Quicker, more rare, and isn't a hideous tub of lard. (That last one was an opinion )

for me, the one thing that makes this a hard choice is the 7-speed SMG in the M5

I don’t think they can be compared… a lancer VS 5 series. The M5 is the Ultimate saloon. Yes the evo is fast but that’s all it has.

I agree the new M5 is the ultimate Ubersaloon, beating arguably even the RS6. The EVO FQ400 is a heavily modified Lancer, but a Lancer nonetheless. And people still vote that?

Yeah you got 7 gears... but with the limiter
you only get most of the 6th gear and NONE of the top gear!
That's realy sad...

Someone who owns a BMW can not be apologised for what you wrote:

1st thing: why do you consider an Evo a monster saloon? Think it as nothing to do with proportions, right?

2nd: those cars are on totally opposite sides of the automotive world and cannot be compared.

3rd : A BMW is always better than anything else.

4th: just for the record, compare the tag prices to see how much apart they are.

I think there should be an age restriction on UCP...some of the kids round here talk a lot of nonsense...
firstly...
1)monster in terms of performance
2)in terms of feature yes but both are performance cars bought solely for their performance
3)you must be kidding right?
4)most cars are really overpriced..so therefore the Evo should be better value in terms of bang for your bucks....
I drive a BMW..and I love it a lot...but if i can just afford to get me the Audi that I want .....

The Evo needs engine rebuilds every 4000 miles or something.

The M5 can be derestricted for a nominal fee.

The Evo might be quicker, but I should imagine that it would be a nightmare to live with.
