That was my concern. My neighbours boss had a range rover and that was far from reliable (new gearbox amongst other things), considering the money you pay for them!Darren Slone wrote: ↑Fri Feb 16, 2018 11:47 pmI had one from new for 3 yrs and 90K mikes from 2014 as a company car and can honestly say it’s been the worst car I’ve had, broken springs, central locking, gearbox issues, had a new one in at 65K but had problems from 10K miles, cut out on me whilst overtaking, blocked fuel filter, shocking tbh

Yeah I’d steer clear tbh, my friend had had many RR Autobiography models and they’ve been poor too, all from new, he says it’s just something you have to put up withdhobbs wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 7:54 amThat was my concern.

How is it setting sights on a Range Rover Evoque...
I drive both vehicles fairly regularly and they're nothing alike

Don't know what it is but BMW seem incapable of building a good reliable SUV. Ever since they first entered the game with E53 X5 they've been a nightmare. Owning two of them back in the day was enough to put me off BMW SUVs ever since.

Bought my X4 at 7,500 miles, just about to clock on to 40K and its been absolutely fine no issues. Rear tyres replaced at around 38K and front still going strong. Need nothing but regular services which I got included in my purchase for 5 years.
Agree with the comments about it being unlike the RR Evoque. Test drove both before purchase and they are very different. Suffice it to say the X4 lured me due to its exclusivity and drive style, as well as the dash layout and space in the rear.
Im very pleased with my F26 but definitely wont be changing for the G02 anytime soon!

I have a problem with all manufacturers that create models for what seems like no logical reason. Some suit suggested let’s make an SUV but let’s slope the back so it looks sporty and lose space etc. It seems they are creating the market as opposed to making cars for a need. But then there are people buying them so what do I know.
I want a fast sleek spacious vehicle that has presence on the road
Maybe this. It’s as practical as most SUVs lol

I'm not a fan of this type of car, it feels like a sector manufactured by premium brands. It's not as practical as an SUV or estate and is much more expensive than a saloon or coupe. Don't see the point really
