Actually a point of fact regarding the boot size...
The tailor made dog bed for the 2011 RRS fits very well into the RRS2 boot,
in comparison the roof height is a bit lower but the whippets don't complain.
To bring up a very old potato you will like to know that the full size 21" alloy spare sits nicely in the boot under the floor panel
No need for the trusty protector ....now sold on the bay
Like this was offered here for sale with other bits from the trusty RRS but sadly no takers but all went quick on the loathsome
Bay website

Got to say I am with URX. It's all up to individual taste of course.

I have driven it, I like it, I almost want it but I want the SVR back end. To me, the back is not so much ugly but it just looks forgotten, almost pinched in. Even if it looked even more like the Ewok at the back, it might be better. It looks like they got to the back and gave up.

The RRS1 when following still looks good, OK not new but good. I like the back of a car to have tidy or bold styling, the RRS2 has neither.

Whippet - I can afford one even without selling my house and possessions and I have thought hard about just doing it, even got as far as the dealer, but I think I am going to wait until facelift time in a couple of years, I think  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Agree, the RRS2 could look better with the SVR Rear bumper design.

But honestly, the ugly rounded roof shape, the uninspiered high pampers ass, the unbelivable overdesigned curved flankes of an x6 are out of any formal senseful aesthetics, just a posy car, but still someones taste...
I dont want be Seen in One, Even as a guest... , just kidding...

As I said Chrisr 1806 and Renaco it's personal taste. I am glad you like your L494, it's not for me yet.

I love the X6, I wanted one when they first came out and I had an RRS, at least the X6 has an ass.

To me, the ugliest car in the world is the Ssangyong Stavic, funny how you like that more than the X6, it illustrates my point about personal taste. Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

Anyway...at least it's design looks resolved ..finished..even if it's not to my taste.


So how much to fit and SVR rear to the Ewok fat I wonder......

Yep Renaco, I like the look of that X6. I may be in minority of one, but I like it. Personal taste. BMW has sold 250,000 X6 models since 2008 so there is another 249,999 like me.  Gone - 2008 Stornoway Grey RRS 2.7 TDV6

I see kwikfit have selected a new delivery vehicle for roadside repairs

tbh doesnt look bad and practically speaking would be great for people that are crap at reversing

Love the new X6 as well as the old X6 (hence I bought one). Pictures may not do them justice but they have excellent road presence.
