Don't know why you are even bothering to test

You know it is going to happen

There's still choosing between sport and full fat RR to be done.  It will all be down to the test drives as the sport only comes in 3.0d guise and could, on reflection, be suitably lardy - she's coming from a 40d remember - to warrant a step up to an SDV8. Will see tomorrow.

When I spoke to them there was talk that the V8 will make it in to the RRS next year.

That would be my choice.

Disagree

RRS is where it is at now, so much improved and £20k cheaper without being the poor relation now

No what is actually happening is that manufacturers are making better cars further down the range which means you don't have to wave your cock around saying look at me I have more money than you.

The 981 is better than the 991 and the RRS is better than the FFRR for the enthusiast and not for those that want to be seen in the most expensive.

Urm same as in pic white with mixed leather interior and black pano roof. The V8 diesel Sport is out for order now but we drove the 4.4 v8 RR version and found the V6 in the Sport to be more responsive and more nimble. Dealer actually spoke out against the 4.4 engine also which was refreshing. Mrs Snipez is happy so that's what counts (plus I got some extras thrown in to sweeten the deal). The X5 won't depreciate too much over the next 4 months so a good price/deal overall really and a very good dealer experience to boot.
