Range rover sport TDV6 HSE and BMW M3`s

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...

Do either of them pass the "drive by the shopping centre" test?

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........... Strange really how a certain type are associated with a certain vehicle.........

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.
Cheers
