Took them both out for a test drive today...
Anyone got any experience of them?
What are they like to live with day to day etc....
Loved them both,but the range rovers coming out in front on a practical and easy/stress free drive front....
Weak point on r/rover is the gearboxes........and the smoothness with the uptake of the drive.
Sit to the side of the road for a while they are ten a penny going past, especialy black ones.........
M3..............thats got you written all over it!;)

M3 Convertable of course in Gangsta Black, black windows etc
And I know what you mean about the RR sports, they are selling very well, soooo they gotta be good.
Two of my friends have Range rovers and they are both Hairdressers too...
I dont know, whats the world coming too... :rolleyes:

What!!! A Chelsea tractor going off road???? Are you mad????
Getting all dirty and muddy???
Whatever next? Some crazy fool will say that we should be taking a Ducati`s on race tracks..
:lol:
Van, drop Rattler a u2u mate as he had an M3 converts, lovely it was too, also Chillo, but he bent his after switching off the traction control ...
Do either of them pass the "drive by the shopping centre" test?:lol:
On the M3, i have a mate who sold his recently. He got that miffed with people sticking up of a finger at him, or waving a gripped fist in his direction...........:lol: Strange really how a certain type are associated with a certain vehicle.........:eek:

I'd go for the Sport. Mainly because I work there anD have worked under BMW and would not give them them the time of day.
I am a little bemused at Andyb's comments on poor G/box quality on Sport as I am unware of any issues with them. All of the software issues are fixed and these really are a good vehicles now.
If you want to sell drugs or be a pimp go for the beema.
Other wise fly the flag and keep me in a job.

funnily enough I have only heard the gearbox remark once before and that was also from a member of the Constabulary. Are you boys a wee bit rough on them? After all they are built for off roading not racing down motorways and dropping the clutch on a V8, with a certain about of play on the props is always going to invoke a good deal of diff slap, and gear box stress.

RR sport is a chelsea tractor it's not meant to go off road unless you count parking on the pavement outside Harvey Nicks:D
It's not as good offroad as the non sport model or a Disco 3.
Diesels I hate 'em...............the M3 runs on petrol get that.:eek:
Ray.
Oh I don't know Andy, I expect you're used to it by now... ;)
That's one replacement for a coffee sprayed keyboard you owe me

Ive done the maths..........apparantly there is an extra inch of willy extention with the BMW...... :lol:
Still your right yet again, what would i know? If you really want to know how a vehicle goes, ask a hair dresser!:rolleyes:
The Audi is the one for me..........

I like the look of the Audi but they always have the feel of playing second-fiddle to BMW. Don't know if that's still true or not, though.
For that kind of money I'd be looking for an Aston myself.

Strange - then why aren't you riding Triumph and keeping them chaps in work. Flying the flag is no reason for buying something.
A purchase should be done only on the merit of the product measured by what you expect it to do, vis-a-vié its value when compared to other like products.
Having said that, I wish everyone at LR full and long employment - hopefully the dipsticks at Ford will sell you off to someone sensible like JCB - now that we be a perfect synergy and would also see a LR product back in my garage after an absence of 12yrs.
