Hello, pondering buying an X6 xdrive 35D. I have had Range Rovers for eight years and it is either time for a newer one or an X6. Any advice welcome.

Depends on what you need it for? The RR is a proper off-roader and very spacious, whereas the X6 is not.

Like for like, the X5 might be a better bet if space is an issue, and the 35d engine is very very impressive!

The RR is a better day to day drive than an X6 (2011 moodel v 2010 model X6)Both barges, the X6 less so. BMW engines are better, although the RR 3.0 DERV isn't bad at dragging all that weight about.

Well I bought a Sport TDV8, missus did not like the rear window in the X6 in the end. I do like a V8 burble to match my XKR. Keep her lit you beemer drivers.

depends entirely if you want something that handles and goes well or refinement is higher on the priority list, i test drove the RR and RR sport before plumping for the X6, RR was better on longer journeys but the performance and handling was far far superior in the X6

Really? I guess it sounds like a V8 but burble?
