Tim, I test drove the new X5, even borrowed one for a day, and I found it nowhere near as good a drivers car as the RRS! My heart and head for once were in unison when I made my purchase pretty much a year ago! It does have more of the gadgets I'd like to see on the RRS though!

Maybe the extra gadgets are to compensate for the X5's shortcomings then, I have heard that the suspension isn't the most comfortable on earth! So X5 = the penultimate driving machine after the RRS? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

ALso the driving position on the RRS is much better, and although not that much different, driving the new X5 compared to the RRS felt like it was a van size wise!

Hi guys, been a visitor for a couple months, I finally decided to register... I'm 26, I live in Lugano (Switzerland) and a month ago I bought a RRS TDV6. I used to drive a Focus RS before.
Cheers!

Yeah, it is actually...
Even if I liked my old RS... Before it, I had an Integra Type-R, another great car.
Off to "My RRS" to post some pictures now!

Welcome to the forum

I love Lugano - used to have a supplier over there and used to make excuses to go to see them for many years

Ehehehhe, yeah, love it too... Actually I'm half-french and half-italian (hence my italian plate on the RRS) but I live here since '99...

Ciao Korenai, benvenuto nel forum e congratulazioni per l'acquisto. Presa dal Sonvico? '08 RRS TDV8
I converted my diesel RRS to run on an environmentally friendly mixture of caribou fat and baby seals oil

Ciao e grazie! No, l'ho presa in Italia, al Top Marques a Vicenza per essere precisi, uno dei pochi concessionari TVR italiani...
Al Sonvico ci sono stato di recente per un paio di lavoretti, gentili anche se non hanno risolto il problema Bluetooth...

BMW X5 - what can i say-lost a pile of money on the thing & many faults with the car.
Just to list a few: orange-peel paint,elec park brake failed,boring to drive,no more economical than RRS,
Didn't bring a smile like RRS. Hey Tim - hope that answers any questions .

Sounds like BMW's US employees aren't building them as well as the Bavarians would then!!! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
