Thank u for this!
Ps just out of curiosity how was the rs4 to own
And are you doing the trip in the 5 because of the hauling capacity of it? Bikes, roof rack and boot space etc.

Get it used pal!!
I had a 997 Porsche that after 50k went pop. The IMS Bearing went, it was 7 years old. I phoned Porsche has it had a FSH and they said, '50k, yup, thats normal'.... £13k full rebuild later and I lost all love and faith for the car. That was fragile, these units are definately not. I have a pal who owns a very large nationwide recovery company, he drives a Merc E220 with 320k on it, and it has never let him down, he says to me that he picks up over 40 Range Rovers or Discoverys per BMW or Merc he recovers. There is a reason we buy these, they are very strong and build quality is strong.
RS4... it was a 2015 that I got for my 40th. It was nice but dull. Fast in a straight line but it didn't get the adrenaline going like both of my M4's have. The tech was pants inside too......
As an aside.... I came back to my new M4 ZCP after a 2016 Range Rover Sport Autobiography. LR bought it back after I had total brake failure twice, once in the fast lane going a little swiftly. I managed not to crash it, just, but I did soil my seat! After being told by the dealer and JLR CS that I must have imagined it.... I instructed a lawyer and they bought it back at full cost. I will never buy a JLR product for the rest of my days. Shame. Look awesome but are poorly made.
