Thread: Under the L322

Good on you.
Thats the one I want, shall keep a keen eye on your wheels and see how you like it over time.

Hope its all positive, all the best.

ecauseof the complexity of the electricks make sure you have warranty and extend it for the period you intend to own the car. I spent 2 hours yesterday just familiarising myself with what everything does, for example if the computer senses the outside temp is 4deg or less it pre heats the windscreen and headlight washer water.
By far the most luxurious car I have owned, dislikes so far the engine noise in the cabin is quite loud when your giving it a bootfull, bit too loud for a luxury type car and the wind noise is evident over 130km/h

So you've got he TD6?
Any idea what boost that sucker runs? I know BMW"s twin turbo version (powers the 535d) runs up to 42psi.
Got room for that turbo setup in there?

Very Nice Dirtydawg.
I have been driving one of these for the last 2-3 weeks & it is a nice vehicle, the one i had is an 02my so a little different.
But the BMW 6 isnt a bad donk. Little unrefined but still pulls the cover off the custard damn quick.
Hope all goes really well, they are a great vehicle.
Read the manual, very thick & a LOT of info..

Cheers.

Hi DirtyDawg, that is by far the best vehicle I have ever owned ( excluding my current RR ) and I’ll be surprised if you don’t like yours.

I had the opportunity to take mine to the ton and let the cruise control have it’s way for about 20 kms. Brother did that little run use some fuel.

But it you keep it around the 100 to 110, you can expect some good fuel figures.

As to the electronics, sniegy would be more up on this but I think you will find mechanical problems are more like to be the case as the electronics are pretty well sorted now.

Yours is actually a more comfortable RR than the new one and I found the new V8 is not as quick off the mark as my TD6 was.

Td6's rarely have problems....
They dont leak oil (look at the photo's) & they just drop in & get there routine service done! Great if u have purchased &/or own one.
I do have a great resepct for these vehicles now, Was dubiuos when the BMW motor went in & a few gremlins on the early ones but if its an 06my, I think u will be a very very very happy man!
I will keep saving for my new beast...

Nice Vehicle

Will be very interested to hear follow up comments.
I have been watching the price of them particularly 2004 models.

They seem to represent good value.

Nice to hear they are relatively trouble free.

Yeah - I agree with the comments about the harshness of the motor under full acceleration, at certain revs it resonates a bit, but still acceptable considering it is a diesel.

I hadn't driven mine for about 3 weeks and when I came to start it this morning it was very sluggish to turn over, then gave up. Had to jump start it.

Then I got a message on the console ** Air Suspension Inactive ** which didn't make me very happy . Anyway, after a 20 minute run and a restart the message went away, so not sure what that was all about.

Generally, it has been better than I expected, and so far more reliable than my 93 Classic which had continual Air Suspension issues
