dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's the Vogue for me every time. This said, I would avoid the pre-facelift petrol versions (i.e. before June 2005) as the 4.4 BMW lump has not exactly surpassed all expectations in the reliability stakes. If you try a 4.4 then make sure it’s the Jag lump that's under the bonnet. It costs me about 140 quid to fill a tank on regular fuel so be prepared for some hefty bills if this is going to be your daily runner. I have the chromed quad-pipe sports exhaust fitted which is a rather nice little extra to have. Not cheap but worth every penny. Mines on 140,000 miles almost and still going strong.

dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nice choice sir - does it have the chrome tubular side skirts too? As soon as the 2012 front is fitted thats next on mine, just done the rear lights to 2012 spec, what a difference, now when i indicate people pay attention.

Paul R Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 Nice choice sir - does it have the chrome tubular side skirts too? It doesnt, no. Plenty of upgrade potential though dude - the 2012 upgrade kit is dead cheap isnt it? Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will do, going to change the rear bumper as well, it looks the same as a supercharged autobiography, already done 2010 door panels, complete piano wood interior, rear led lights and 2012 side vents, got the bumper and ltd edition grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Right fellas, look out for a facelift vogue se 4.2sc for me! Went to see one last night but it was very tatty inside. Paul. The interiors of many of them are like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It doesnt, no. Plenty of upgrade potential though dude - the 2012 upgrade kit is dead cheap isnt it? Paul. Ive seen prices of £3K but you have to leave your old parts and as you have supercharger rear lights (£350 secondhand) and the facelift front (£1K) thgey would be doing pretty well, I would get the parts and do it yourself then sell the old parts, Rear Lights £500 Front bumper complete £500 Grill £200-400 Side vents £120 Resistors and conversion plugs £150 Front Lights Ive seen for £700, I can get em new for £900 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Id love a supercharged range rover but you need to be a millionare to run one, Dont they do something like 10mpg? when i was looking i worked out one would cost me about 8 grand a year in fuel.

Am sure my mum's neighbours Supercharged only does 12MPG or something daft like that. A mate of mine had an LPG'd Supercharged, made it a bit more manageable to run.

Didn't you have a supercharged V8 Monaro a while back? Can't see that being much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't use mine that often but I must pay circa 2k for 3,300 miles. I can also get the fuel computer to read 1.0MPG while accelerating up a hill. As I said before, not an ideal vehicle for a tight budget.

Pretty much, it's not bad on longer journeys, but around town it is horrendous! Though that is forgiven when you fire her up. Sounds exactly like a super car engine.

Pulley Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I used to use mine mainly for Towing my horses, and driving to events to coach, was a big "image" thing Used to cost me bonkers money in fuel, infact my huge horselorry did better mpg on occasion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the very reason I went for the X6 35d over the X6 V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I would have gone TDV8 Rangey and not Supercharged, a chipped TD is quicker than the charged one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
