My Ride: 2005 545i with everything
My 545i has been great. 4 years, 40k miles, a few minor issues but a solid car nonetheless. I've been a member here for 5+ years and received invaluable help on many occasions, so thanks much. I wish the Range Rover forum was as active but it's usually a ghost town compared to here. Time to move on though and the new Range Rover supercharged is a hell of a ride. 510 HP, adaptive suspension, every bell and whistle option.
Before you warn me about the perils of owning a Land Rover, my wife has been driving a Range Rover for 4 years so I'm familiar with the issues
It's so worth it though, no other vehicle feels so special, plus I tow a lot of toys and was getting sick of borrowing my wifes car to do that. It really is the comfort of an S class, the performance of an M class, and the utility of a jeep. Here's a pic from my iphone...

Congratulations! The New LR4/updated RR Sport and the Range Rover itself received some major upgrades for 2010, and they been getting some very positive reviews. I've always been interested in getting a Range Rover one day too - it's an immensely capable vehicle and it's a fantastic alternative to a luxury sedan. Enjoy the new car!

Congrats on the new car!
How was your experience with Haron Land Rover/Jag compared to Weber? It's interesting seeing someone else from CenCal on here, I haven't seen many.
