I've got an Audi A5 right now (please don't shoot me) so it would make sense to check out the A6, but I really like the BMW too. I never used to like bmw interior, but they've done a stunning job with the F10 and the 5 with M sports package looks the business.
I've been reading lots of reviews and comparisons and they do not all say the same thing. The comparison in Auto Motor und Sport (German mag) actually favours the handling of the A6 over the bmw 5 (!). Don't get me wrong, when I read that I found that very hard to believe but I guess it means I'll need to test drive them both and see which one I prefer. All of these reviews are at the end of the day subjective, it is very hard to write an objective review when you are detailing your personal experience with a car.

Totally agree with BMW interior improvement. Audi is the bench mark in the industry for interior but F10 is just superb. Better the Audi A6, I think.
Regarding handling, on the basis that those German mags are correct (until proven wrong), even if subjective, I won't be too surprised if the F10 tested was a standard SE without those active suspension/steering enhancements.
