Sue,
I know this is the E60 board, but please post picks of you Range when you get it. From an SUV standpoint, I love their styling in and out.
One note though, Land Rover/Range Rover has been known to have more reliability and electrical problems than most other automakers. I believe someone on here has a Range Rover horror story or something like that. It sounds like you have been through enough the 5, so I pray that everything goes well with the Range Rover. Again, please post pics.

Sue,
PLEASE before yo do the RR thing, do your home work.
The Sept 28th Daily Mail from London rates the LR products and the most likely to break down it came 27th at 46% out of 27 manufacturers tested.
Also, take a peak at the link below.

one thing that is certain about owning cars is that they will break down, generally at the most inconvienent of places or time.
03' M3 has seen the shop over 15 times in 8 months and has been in the shop currently for the last month.
03 x5' service engine came on today and the car shakes as it drives.
I have heard nothing good about the Range Rover and the Cayenne is suspect. I've decided to try the e60 and see if I get a car that runs well. then after that a porsche 911.
at this point in my life i EXPECT higher end cars to have problems.
and by the way if you want something clean that will never break down, i had a 97 maxima that ran like hell for 3 years with just oil changes.

Am I having a flashback? 
This thread reminds me on the foglight thread...
SueBMW has a lot of bad luck with her car. This board and its members want to read/post/share everything regarding the E60! I want to hear it! YOu don't want to, don't read the thread...

To everyone concerned about me getting a Land Rover, please don't be. The new Range Rover has been extremely reliable. I am VERY knowledgeable about this brand and am very confident in the new Range Rover. I also am familiar with the level of service I receive both from the dealership and from customer service. It is nothing like the way BMW treats its customers.
evperry, I'm sorry you've heard nothing good about the Range Rover. I have heard nothing bad about the new Range Rover from anyone who owns one, and I know many, many people with the new Range Rover.
And streak, did you notice that the newest Land Rover in every one of those "horror stories" was a 2000? Also, they are from South Africa or the UK, where the specs are very different than in the US. If that's the best they can gather, LR's not doing too bad.
