The A6 2.0T will of course be slower, but it's also a better car in many other areas. The A6 is also supposed to be sportier than the 5er.

My E90 328i is very lightly equipped M-sport model. If I build a F30 M-sport with similar option content, it comes out to be ~$4K more. Of course the F30 has some of the things that my 328i is missing, most notably iDrive and basic Bluetooth. But still, it seems you do pay quite a bit for the extra interior room + improved power and efficiency.
Thats it exactly. I would not be looking at a 3.0T but the 2.0T. at Premium Plus. That Google nav plus the built in wifi is something I suspect I would use more frequently than 100 extra horses. I doubt that it is a significantly worse driving car than my current E60. We'll see.
