If you go for the 1st Gen (05-09) models, you probably will regret it.

I have had an X3, X5, TDV6 and now have the TDV8, although I must admit the X3 had the least problems and the TDV6 had the most I wouldn't go back to BMW. Touch wood the V8 has been great so far and comfort, style and drive pleasure is much better. My X5 and X3 were petrol so I can't compare on fuel. It comes down to what you feel so test out a few I know I was hooked as soon as we changed. Price and servicing are very simillar. Good luck anyway you go. Spud |

Agree with this, lifes too short not to try something even if only for a short while ![]() Mileage wise, I'm only seeing late teens early twenties, but most of my driving is very short trips round town. On the motorway I'm seeing mid twenties. 2016 VW Golf GTD DSG 2007 Exige S British GT SE Gone : 2011 3.0TDV6 HSE, Stornoway Grey, Ivory, Piano Black Trim, Paddleshift, Privacy Glass, Side Steps, Mud Flaps, Heated Steering Wheel, Timed Climate & Remote Park Heating ![]() |

Thanks for replies, I am planning on going to dealer this weekend to take a look at what they have got, and more importantly see what i can get for my current car so i can see what price i can go for.

+1 My boss has just got a new X5 its a bloody good car much faster than the RRS that it replaced now my car, but I have to say I much prefer the RRS. I had an 07 TDV8 RRS that I thought I would regret moving from to the 3.0 but performance is nearly as good but the big difference is the newer interior is 100% better hence the plus 1 An X5 is a better drivers car but its not a better car to drive if you understand what I'm saying, its more refined and has a lot less plastic than the X5 assuming you get the leather dash - a most in my eyes.

I dare to argue, x5 is not that much faster than RRS. Here is the proof

Not that good a drag tbh. The X5 doesn't seem to go for it off the line, several seconds in before it drops a cog and accelerates hard.

Top speed and 0-62 figures are low down on my list of priorities. Although I do like the x5 in sport mode, but the small difference doesn't bother me.

Does the dash on TDV6 have a full TFT screen for speed dials etc? I have seen some pics/videos of the complete speed dials etc being a tft screen, do any RRS have these? which ones?
