But the FF *is* a high end German marque - have your forgotten the X5 underneath the FF bodyshelll? ![]() (current) L322 3.6 TDV8 Vogue 2008 Tonga Green (previous) L322 4.4 LPG Vogue SE 2003 If it sticks, force it. If it breaks, it needs replacing anyway. |

Even at the end there were lots of BMW bits, but an L322 isn't an X5 underneath. |

Glad I found this thread. I've been having similar thoughts as I think about whether to change my L322 next year; the 405 AB was at the top of my list, but the S class coupe started to creep in (only me in the car 99% of the time).

If you said a sensible merc, like the Sl65 amg, I might agree with you, but surely an S class is best experienced from the back seat, not from behind the wheel?

I have a W140 S320 and must say I like it despite it having some 19 year old car in hot climate issues. But I can't wait until I get my FFRR here and get rid of the Benz.

I think you should look at these things objectively. The FFRR is a great car but I think it's great to experience different types of car, even if you go back to a full fat in the end |

It's not usually, but if you have a hankering after a new motor and want to weight up your options having an objective think about things can be very useful |
