Oh I don't know Andy, I expect you're used to it by now...

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.

Andyb has to have a biggoted narrow minded view of things, its part of the job description...

And the RS4 doesnt convert or go off road.....

RR sport is a chelsea tractor it's not meant to go off road unless you count parking on the pavement outside Harvey Nicks

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.
