seen that, its an awsome vid, very good

turns out that the Ranige is better than a Hummer or an Escalade, just in case anyone was wondering

Hey Ace,

Re performance I've found it perfectly acceptable, the BMW lump likes to rev so although it's a big heavy car it's certainly able to respond when you need it to. It can be a little disconcerting at first with its tendancy to head for the red line regularily if you put the foot down even when not in sport mode, but it certainly gets moving and makes a very nice snarling noise in the process.

It was perfectly happy with 4 people, a boot full of associated luggage, a full compliment of ski gear and about 80l of fuel on a recent run up to Falls Creek without it feeling like it was struggling on the steep inclines where our D2 v8 labours noticably.

Running it on 98RON fuel also makes a big difference to its responsiveness, but yeah I've certainly had no problem with how well it goes and I tend to make reasonably enthusiastic progress shall we say...

Re economy, on a long run the lowest I've seen it go was 11.6l/100 if memory serves (i think), but yeah - if fuel economy is a major concern then diesel is the way to go as an LPG conversion on the v8 is ~$6000.

Cheers

Hi Al, thanks for that, most informative. Im not so much worried about the fuel economy, i would just like to know what to expect before jumping in. By the sounds of it its around the same as the missus' V6 pajero anyway, its only a 92 model, and thats what we will be replacing.

I have had ours off road afew times now and it makes it all feel too easy. These cars are so good that when the lease is up in 12mths I am keeping it and buying another one, if the Indians are still making them.
