E46 M3 CSL for me

That's not from Wellington lol

Only down side is whenever I visit, I fly down so can't bring any of my cars haha

Not car related but I Love Arrowtown!

2.6km according to google

I tested one two weeks ago, not bad, the way the boot opens is actually pretty practical and easy to place large items in. Interiors quite lacking as with most new BMW's these days.

The steering and balance of the car, after selling the E46 M3 and going to two 4 wheel drive cars after having kids, I do miss the balance and steering feel of the BMW's.

Never been a fan of the GTR, but a very different sort of car. The RS6, ignoring all the power and speed, is the most practical car I've ever owned too. It just does everything so well, the interior is very simple and everything is very intuitive. Perfect for the kids.

I'd say it was the torque that you're addicted to =)

You know what the noise is right, its a by product of energy loss. Why would you intentionally lose power if you didn't need to? Worse, add more weight with sound deadening to luxury cars due to the noise. You think an electric car can't MAKE noise if it wanted to, they could just play whatever noise you like through a speaker like BMW does, but really that's just stupid even when BMW does it.

Diesel and Soul don't go together lol wtf. It's only a matter of time, I'm sure the horse riders said the same about missing the warmth between their legs on the back of a horse when ICE's came out 0-100 as quick as the legendary McLaren F1 is hardly.. boring.

lol if it means much, the RS have dropped in retail price a lot over the last few years. Soon =)

Well depreciation is an expected when you buy a new car, the Cayenne was a genius move for Porsche, they sell like hot cakes, the new Macan even more so. A friend of ours tested one on the weekend and they tried to sell him the demo car at 10% off the new retail. That is absolutely insane, I could prob get that discount off a brand new car let alone a demo one. They said they had no problems selling them and they're back ordered for half a year. They had to cancel a dealer order to fit our order in when we got Cayenne too. The RS6 is around 2 tonne V8 and it's amazing, loving every second of it =)

We have the 2012 V8 Cayenne S and I wouldn't buy another one. Thought we needed a SUV at the time with marriage and kids down the road, after having our daughter we found it wasn't we thought it would be. The fuel usage is just one of the things we didn't like. It's definitely the best looking SUV but its really impractical, they look much better than the older version which was horrible when I had it as a loan car for the day. The old M3 we had was more practical as crazy as that sounds.

How does the BMW and Merc SUV's handle speed bumps? The Porsche feels like a trampoline exiting speed bumps, and I don't mean in a comfortable way. Both on air suspension, the RS6 takes them perfectly with no drama. The Porsche is even worse when set in comfort suspension, the old M3 was fine but not as comfortable as the RS6. I'm wondering if its just the Cayenne that handles them poorly or SUV's in general.
