I am sure it will be lovely, though  |

Well I'm back to report on my Cayenne as requested!
I ended up with an S model - so the 4.8 v8 with just shy of 400bhp.
I am getting 20mpg out of it driving sensibly, and it's a fantastic drive. ... |

V6 Cayenne is, on paper, as quick as (or even slightly quicker than) TDV8 RRS - but of course it doesn't have the torque so when you're bumbling around it feels as flat as a fart.
This will be ok, ... |

Thanks chaps!
I have noticed the Cayenne prices Kaine. The RRS does much better. I will have to buy (lightly) used for sure !
All the best,

| The Cayenne looks like the most likely choice I think. The V6 one will do early twenties to the gallon of its cheaper petrol and is around £10k less than the TDV8 whilst still having slightly more per ... |

| I tried a V6 and a V8. The first thing I would say to a prospective buyer is - don't discount the V6. On paper it looks like the V8 is the only one to have. When you drive it the V6, however, it makes ... |

| One other thing to mention - sometimes cars sit around for a LONG time (I mean over a year) in holding compounds post manufacture. I don't know if this could be the case on your RRS? If it's been sat ... |

| As an engineer I would say that the BMW is likely to have alloy diff castings hence no rust but the RRS probably has cast iron instead which is obviously going to rust. Nothing to worry about though - ... |

Thanks for that - I guessed as much - and I do agree with what you say about a forum such as this kind of distilling all feeling into one concentrated source.
I am a bit worried about that knocking ... |

Hi everyone!
New user here - love the way the RRS looks but now it's time to take the plunge and change my ageing 330d tourer for a new car I've been investigating more closely.
The TDV8 looks b ... |
