I'll take it. Silly wheels though.

Been there, done that.

'Socialites' are always self proclaimed. Ghastly trinket.

Even the 335d Xdrive touring. A (then despised) diesel-fuelled 3 series, as an estate (E30 touring had only been on sale for two years then) with AWD that can get to sixty in 4.9 and hit 50 to the gallon. You must be joking, they'd have said. That was 288GTO performance back then, with most cars struggling to hit…

Performance Version=the UN Peacekeeper has hit the crack pipe... the V10 from the LFA would do nicely thanks.

You forgot the ghastly hamann mystere... as if designed by Ann Summers...

Yup, uses for a split tailgate #9999 unloading a mini with ramps ;)

But of course! Yours does things mine could never do e.g. no rust, no Rover parts bin interior stuff, no screaming gearbox. I don't pretend my car would work as a new model in 2014. The trend for cars to increase in size generally though is somewhat saddening, all in the name of safety I suppose! Cheers A

That I'd love to see. Suburbans are probably among the larger of the fullsize SUVs!

Just you wait until the Countryman 7+2!! Trust me it'll happen... until then no mercy for other SUVs... this one was at the polo!

This stuff used to bother me, now I just amuse myself by parking my original mini next to Countrymans/men>... many, many red faces ensue! Don't have any photos of this, but this one of it next to my dad's car gives you a flavour!!

Classic Range Rover was great, unless you ended up with a late-eighties teddy-bear interior slow-as-cement mixer VM turbo diesel. Wouldn't have mattered if the fuel consumption was considerably better; it wasn't.

Mercedes SL55 AMG. Because it sounds like the end of time, is a total sleeper and will not kill you as a DD. Also saves a helluvalot of money. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/adv…

BMW 335d Xdrive Touring for £33k (53k USD) here in the UK.

But we all know where it would end if push came to shove! :P

Like many, want to agree with you BUT

Ahh blow mah nose at you Monsieur Putin...

As a private buyer, in the UK at least, there is no reason to buy a 320d over a 330d or even 335d as there are huge discounts available. The performance on my Mum's 330d xdrive is revolting for an apparently common-or-garden family estate.

OK my submissions:

LaFerrari. Kinda cheating though...
