I'm not sure about these myself and it's not a saloon, but not a big 4x4 either, nevertheless it's a big heavy car and in petrol guise I'd imagine it's a beast!
BMW X6?
How is an X6 not a big 4x4? It's a tarted up X5 with extra ugly.
As this thread shows, Nigel requirements for a tow car are old fashioned and will be very difficult to fulfil without him compromising. Personally, I'd be looking at a Discovery, as lots of heavy towing is the only reason I could justify such a car. But I'd probably end up with a Volvo estate, as the FWD doesn't compromise everything.
I agree with you about the ugliness Nick, but the X6 to my mind looks like a big beast of a car rather than a 4x4.
As said I'm not sure about them.
I suggested a Disco earlier in the thread as I think they are great and want another!
The lack of petrol engines might be a problem for Nige unless he can find a well preserved Disco 3 V8, but they seem like rocking horse shit!
However the 2.7 TDV6 in the Disco 3 is not as agricultural as you might think, and although I havn't driven one, I expect the 3.0 SDV6 in the Disco 4 is even smoother!
