I have had HUD on my past two cars (M3 and M5) and I totally prefer the current speed and speed limit displayed on the HUD rather than than the dash itself!
I don't have a RR so can't say how good ... |

Why do LR make this so difficult? I have BMWs and it comes pre-installed and active for the first 3 years!
I really thought LR was getting it's act together with better tech, but little details lik ... |

I 'lost' 8K in a year. ( not against another RR though ) I also found that hardly any dealer was interested in buying it and those that were prepared to make a bid took the p..s big time.
Mine was a ... |

| Thanks, that's what i thought. And, I understand it won't 'stay' in dynamic mode between starts, it always reverts back to normal mode (it's what my BM does). Is this assumption correct? |

I expect fuel would be 20 mpg vs 30+ mpg (currently I'm getting 33 mpg out of a 530i).
Of course the main issue is that depreciation is way more significant, at least 2x the fuel cost. Cars, we lov ... |

That certainly would put a smile on my face (I was considering an M5, etc also).
However, at a 100 mile/day commute it's a steep expense for that fun  ! |

Interesting that lead times are coming down. I wonder if it's due to the Chinese economy tanking, maybe that gravy train is about to hit the buffers.
Not to mention that the PCP/lease terms will be c ... |

He also said the WiFi SIM comes with 3 years da ... |
