I was reading one of the threads on your sister's site, comparing X5 and RRS, although I'm not yet a fully fledge member here(no RR), and only has a total of no more than 5 posts to my name but hoping to be very soon!!!
I would like to say my piece....and hope I'm not offending any die-hard RRS fan here...
Here's my thought on it, the RRS imo is no match to X5, it has less interior space than X5, and the quality of the plastics are inferior, and not as well built, but the TDV6 engine is definitely more refine, if I have to choose, it would has to be the RRS with the TDV8 in, without it..it would definitely be a X5!

Putting on my flame suit ..

I care not what you think as this is the Full Fatt Range Rover Site not the RRS

RRS HSE now Gone
SC FFRR Gone

not wanting to be flippant, but go sit in an X5 then go and sit in a proper Range Rover, it isn't even worth trying to compare the two. The X5 was developed by BMW to sit below the RR in spec and performance, at the time BMW owned Land Rover and there was no point duplicating the mark.

A FFRR is a 4 wheeldrive Bentley, an X5 is for people who couldn't afford a SPORT

Do you know the MOST ANNOYING THING IN AN X5


Looking in the rear view mirror and seeing a FFRR WINGING BY YOU.

Or you could be letting your kids watch a DVD in the rear seat's ....... forgot X5's do not have that technology in them yet

oh yes, and for the Pilot of the FFRR, doesn't that feel just so absolutely glorious full throttle with the afterburners on leaving a BM in a double plume of spent fuel

What's the last thing to go through a fly's head when it hits the windscreen of a FFRR .............. IT'S ARSE,,,
What's the last thing to go through a fly's head when it hits the windscreen of a X5 ................ NOWT COZ THE FLY AVOIDS IT BECAUSE IT GOES TOO SLOW .......

That's why Pigeon's fly upside down over X5's ...............

I know its getting to the stupid stages ....................

you been on the Claret Mick

The BMW X5 has all the style and grace of a club foot! Badly made in America for Americans who have a very different set of requirements from their cars.

No contest, buy the RRS but remember that by LR standards they're not brilliant off-road. Rules are made for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men.

the best 4x4xfar as they say and no conparrison to an x5 just remember bmw disowned land rover thinking they would be better hah not a chance

Took a XC60 home instead of the M3 tonight (Full Fat is on the Drive)

Its not Bad (not Good Either)

Each to their own and all that... X5 is definitely better built than RRS.

All IMO of course...
