Worth spalshing more cash on a facelift?

[rj1986]

Hey all.

Thinking of getting a RRS, but want some good toys on it (after sitting in a fully spec'd X6 today).

Is it worth scraping together the extra bit of money for a face-lifted RRS?

2 examples-
07, TDV6 HSE, 35k miles for £25k
or a 2010 TDV6 HSE facelifted, 15k for £36.

Does the new models have more stuff as standard? For me, it MUST have nav, bluetooth and xenon's.
Also, is there any engine/ mpg difference in the newer models?

Thanks in advanced

It's worth the difference.

the main thing is that there is MASSIVE difference in the engine. The 3.0 TDV6 develops 37% more power than the 2.7 TDV6!!!

The facelift interior is a huge improvement too - the original is not nice.

Is there much improvement in mpg? Or does it still hover around the high 20's?

Always difficult as it is very dependant on how you drive but IIRC the 3.0 should be slightly better.

ooohhh... thats good.
I'll be using more a mixture of everything (3-days a/b-roads, and 3 days m25).
Currently on a BMW 120d (early version) and i get about 37-42 using shell fuelsave.

Sorry to keep asking questions- but do you know what toys came standard on the newer RRS? Looking for leather, nav, bluetooth and xenons. (edit:- nver mind, found it on honest john's)

Thanks for all the help.
