Your budget will get you into either a Lexus NX300h or an RX450h, both hybrids so should be more suitable for London.

I wouldn't be looking at diesels for London given the likely tax increases on the horizon.

You've just listed some second hand cars, what is it you want from the car? 30 grand would buy you a nice new car, would this be a better option?

Do you need a diesel? If not then get a petrol XJ?

Or XFR

If you don't need four doors then get a CL500/600/63

500

600

Thanks guys. Unfortunately your replies were too slow. I went for the BMW X6.

It's diesel...but screw it. You only live once, right?

Tragic that "you only live once" was said after buying a Diesel SUV.....

I heard a rumour that with every X6 it sells, BMW throw in a free hessian sack. Legend has it the sack is for drowning kittens.

Can the OP confirm or deny?

You asked the question at 19:13. At 23:25 you said you went from the BMW X6. Were you really in that much of a rush that you couldn't wait longer than a few hours for the answers on a Monday evening...

How depressing.

How many miles do you cover per year?

[giblets_]

27k on quite possibly the ugliest car BMW makes.

Each to their own I guess

[aaron_2000]

Shame, I was going to suggest you buy a 5.0 Mustang to stick it to the congestion charge . Why not an X5 over an X6?

Not a phrase I would normally associate with the purchase of a mainstream diesel BMW!

Very similar prices, with the x6 looking much sleeker. High ride coupes are my favourite at the moment.

I thought with this forum supposedly the most active car message board there is, I'd get instant answers. Unfortunately, wasn't the case.

X6 is a monster of a car. Behemoth of the UK roads. Commanding. Authoritative. Mean.

The response time is terrible.

Ask for your money back.

Predominantly leased in white and driven by orange women with huge sunglasses.

I'd say your summary of X6's and their drivers couldn't be further what what I've witnessed.

From what I've seen they are in black driven by middle aged men.
