Just the one that is availble now, or x5m or x6 m still a few about in the dealer network, massive discount

[GBR1]

If I were in the market for that typr of car I would either go for the RRS or a Porsche Panamera. Not everyone's cup of tea but they drive incredibly well!

[jusdorange]

what exactly you after ?

do you just have 1 car ?

I hate "combo cars" like a fast estate

just get two cars

[Cootie]

Have to say the F-type R is the best new car I've been in over the last few years. Great looks, performance and ride/handling balance. If you are tempted though make sure and spec the panoramic roof and the aluminium gearshift paddles (the standard ones feel cheap)

[Apl440i or 335d?]

911 Targa is a beautiful thing!

Great write up and I must admit I prefer the 4 over the 3 (2 door thing makes it more special)

Would be good if we could pick up our cars from Germany, although any thought of a leisurely 1200 miles break in period would go out the window lol.

The Americans definitely get more of the BMW experience.

Have been with someone picking up a Viper and they had similar treatment, including the obligatory 'this is how you drive the car' part.

It took him 100 paragraphs to say that!

Mercedes E63 (it's called the 'S' I think?) 4 wheel drive beast! Luxurious and proper fast. Sounds PDG too

The catch is it was £30k overpriced to begin with, as it is an M5 with different body panels!

Unfortunately 4wd is only available on LHD models

[Tengocity]

Happycow... an RS6 really isn't going to feel like the special retirement car!

If you must buy new, and want something fast but "practical" then really can't see past a new 911. It's fast, you can have back seats (for really small people and luggage), you can have it in 4WD to suit your Welsh winters, you can have it in coupe, convertible, targa forms, you can have manual or paddles... however you want it, they can provide it.

Depends what you really meant by practical?!

If you want to stick with BMW then can't really see any alternative to either an M6 or M6 GC. But they are just so large on the UK roads.

You could get a PCP independently on a car up to 2 or 3 years old (max age of car at end of term is 6 years old), which brings in all sorts of cars potentially- Astons, Merc SLS, R8...

[Finnie]

M6 Gran coupe or if you don't want the fuel bill then the 640d. Stunning, fast, frugal, desirable, luxurious inside. Really want one. Then again little can beat my discovery so I'd really think about a range rover too

[happycow6171]

I like the range rover, engine wise the triple turbo in the m50d is nice, but its hard to like the shape etc.
Just trying to find a balance between performance and economy,m6 seem to depreciate at quite a heavy rate.

[JustChris]

F Type R £80k ish
New Fast RR Sport £93k ish
911 50th Anniversary Edition if you can still find one? £90k ish

I'm afraid for special shouldn't be looking at BMW.
Lucky man though, that is some choice

+1 and the upgraded seats are ace, probably standard on the R though.

[happycow6171]

Just been on jag website the r is coming out a lot more expensive than m6 gc!.

With the pano roof and alum paddles, lighting pack and the heated wheel makes for a great setup, that and it sounds excellent.

Advantage of a Jaguar garage beside work

Edit:

Yes the Jag will, however I believe it will hold it's price better and for longer.

Of the two, the jag r wins hands down.

[happycow6171]

Some of the porshe 911 performance figures are a bit eye watering, gt3 can outgun ferrari 458 off the lights!!!!!.
