Arnage Green label engine vs 6.75 old faithful ?

[hartley]

Excuse my ignorance - more of an Aston man - but I am attracted to the Arnage by the looks and the interior which seems very similar with the smaller engine car and as I would only use the car for cruising I wonder whether those of you who have driven both versions consider the green label engine experience pleasant enough or should I forget that version ? Relative running costs ?

Thanks very helpful. I was aware the bmw engine was not favoured but I assume this now reflcts in second hand prices which might make the green label more attractive given I would only be cruising around with a speed limiter installed ( the wife ! ).I note that the 0-60 time for the green label is quoted as 6.5 seconds which is still reasonably brisk for a big car . Do you know if the running costs - mpg and servicing costs differ ?

Thanks for the info - I swallow hard at having to pay 1k for my db9 service so 3k for a standard service is a bit depressing - is it any cheaper with specialist non franchise dealers ? Do you prefer
either to the drive in a continental GT which are now around the same price ?
