Hi all, just really after general views from the masses on what you all generally think of this decision.

I currently have an E92 BMW M3 comp pack, which I have to say I absolutely love to bits. However, I don't take it on track and now in my 40th year, I don't (mostly) drive like a tit on the road. This means that as much as I love the looks, handling and go of the M3, plus the howling induction noise as it winds round to nearly 8.5k rpm, it's just feeling a little pointless to own on UK roads now.

I've loved the Disco 4 for some time now (would prefer a FFRR but out of my budget) and so am very nearly ready to swap the M3 for a Disco. I'm well aware of the issues on the Disco, the dated tech and the fact there's a new model due out next year, but after having had one on hire in Scotland this year, I liked the comfort, practicality the Disco offered.

We'll be keeping the TVR so still have a fun car in the family.

Guess I'm really just after opinions on whether I should make the change or not!

Cheers

Was looking at a new one. Not too keen on the looks of the old RRS to be honest and although not the quickest, I quite like the engine in the D4. It certainly seems to pull well through the gears.

Thanks for your replies, it's been really helpful.

I managed to get a good deal on a new Disco 4 Landmark edition which I hope to pick up next weekend. I'm looking forward to it though it's very different to anything I've had before. I will miss the BMW a bit but it's time for something different.

We've still got the TVR for a weekend toy. smile

Well, the M3 has gone and in its place on the drive is a lovely new Discovery 4 Landmark!

Only managed 100 miles in it so far so hoping to get out over the weekend to put some more miles on it.

Still have have the TVR for when the sun's shining as well.
