An RS5 costs $91k???
Am I missing something or does this seem kind of overpriced, especially compared to a BMW M4 Competition? It's like $15k more than the M4. I was toying with the idea of trading in my 2018 M4 Competition for an RS5 coupe since I really could use the AWD in Alaska, but the price difference doesn't make sense to me, especially since the RS5 is slower.

Yes, the RS5 can get up there. Sounds like you are talking about loaded to the gills, but without details, it will be tough for others to give you qualified information.

Upon closer look, the car I saw on the local dealer's website does have quite a few options: Dynamic Plus Package, Dynamic Package, Black Optic Carbon Package, B&O stereo, heated steering wheel and all-weather mats. Are there good deals to be had on RS5 coupes? Given the big price difference between my M4 as a trade-in and this RS5, it seems hard to justify the cost.

First off, I am not a BMW guy, so if you want an M4 - knock yourself out. I’m not getting into an Audi vs. BMW debate.
Secondly, I agree in many ways with you. I suspect that might be why in my local area there are 30 or so RS5 SB’s on the lot. I struggle to believe dealers are holding out for full price. But. I was able to get a pretty good discount and aggressive trade in. I went with the carbon BOP. Definitely not worth $5.5k!!! But does look killer once you have it. I love it now that I spent the money. I don’t see the need for dynamic steering or the dynamic plus with higher top end speed. The RS5 is fast enough, seriously. I love the car.
This is the spec i went with...

there are definitely deals to be had for coupes, prices have been steadily creeping down. load up cargurus and filter by length of time the ad has been on the site. there are some already listed under msrp by 7-8% before any negotiating.

I'll do a bit of research, but it looks like a deal would most likely work out to my 2018 M4 Comp. + roughly $25k, which seems kind of nuts. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm used to Audi's being priced roughly 10% lower than a comparable BMW or Mercedes model and this one just....isn't.
