Both same spec, same price, 2011 model (autobiography) both just under £35k

Which one would you good people opt for ?

SDV6 Everytime. Go drive them both and you will see what I mean. Totally different driving machine's.

If you're a low miler then Sdv6. If you're a high miler then TDV6 (I've never driven an sdv6 so I have nothing to miss and tdv6 goes just fine for me!) L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

TDV6 all day with 30k miles. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

Are they both in the same condition? Service history?

How many miles are you going to do a year? How long do you intend to keep it?

I'd probably be buying the 12MY, particularly as I cover >20k a year and don't plan to sell cars quickly. 8-speed is a box to tick if it's a good one.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Both in vgc as far as I can see (online)

I do 13/14k a year, and this would be kept for 5 years plus at least all being well.

The new box might tip it, bit of extra economy etc.

I'd stick with the 12MY then.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Nice one cheers

And thanks to all who replied..

I should add, always worth looking at both anyway.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Had the TDV6 - been in a BMW 3 series since, unlike Ady - my boat isn't floated - nice car, but that's it for me...

But was you in the 3 series with the 335d engine fitted

No mate, 320 Msport.

If you get the chance, have a drive of a 335d. You might be pleasantly surprised.

- dunno - I'm properly missing the RRS.... Been a laugh with rear wheel drive these past few winters though

Plus fact daughter (5 years old) is insisting that I "get the nice big car again Daddy"

I must admit, I really enjoyed the last 5 years of owning a RRS, more so with the SDV6. Good luck on whichever you choose.
