My Ride: 2010 BMW 530i Alpine White Saddle Brown Interior (Gone, but not forgotten) :'( 2011 Range Rover Sport HSE Black/Tan
Default

I needed a practical SUV instead of the E60, So I just went to my nearest Range Rover dealer and traded my 2010 530i for the new RRS HSE and its a good thing that they traded it for a reasonable price especially when the new 5 series is out. I test drove it and I couldn't stand how smooth it rode and the V8 sounded like... I had to get it, it was like driving on clouds Sorry guys I just needed more space and more practicality when I'm offroading and when I'm carrying 4+ people with me and I'll be receiving it on the 23rd hopefully The color I got is Santorini Black and Tan interior

If you can afford that, you should have kept both.

P.S. - If that's you in your avatar, I demand more photos.

Congrats on your new truck.

My next planned purchase for me is also an SUV.
The RR would be a one of my choices if it had a 7-seat option.

Very nice....not a bad choice if youre gonna own an SUV! For time BMW owned Landrover, so no doubt the X drive of the Bimmers have a little Rover in them, and I am sure there's a little bit of Bimmer in a Rover!!

I couldn't keep both coz If I did I would be using the rover more often and bimmers resale value get soo low with time, So I traded it and payed around 35 K. P.S. Yes, thats me in my profile avatar but I didn't get the part where you said u demanded more pics ?? lool Ur a guy... aren't u ? :/

Update: My thread avatar is different than my profile one So if you meant the chick on the thread avatar... No!

Offroading with an RRHSE... ahah is that a joke???!?!?

What a sick truck, if i were to get an SUV forsure an HSE Range... But your mistaken if you think that truck is intended for any offroading past those winter storms or the odd rough gravel road.

Really nice truck man, jealous over here!

Love the RRS but i'd have to agree and say it's not really an offroading truck. lol.

It was almost 10 years ago when BMW owned RR. They sold it to Ford in 2000 and then Ford sold it to some Indian company in 2008. I doubt there's anything BMW left in it. :/
