I used to work for Range Rover/Jaguar here in Dubai and let me tell you this, the amounts of complaints we used to get for even brand new cars is insane, like a brand new car failing to start due to a low battery already, airbags deployed when someone was going sand duning with his family an went over a small hill, and the list goes on. After seeing what I saw while I worked there, I wouldn't ever own one.

I've definitely heard plenty of rumors of the sub-par reliability, though when I dig through the forums or talk to friends that own them, I come up fairly empty handed. ...Especially in comparison to the BMW forums. Leave it to Jalopnik to explain it best... https://jalopnik.com/if-range-rovers...ill-1728727599 |

We experienced a drivetrain malfunction 3000km in and it was due to a software glitch (got it fixed, they just updated it). We are now 15,000 in and my driver massage seat is creaking already. My M4 is 50,000 in and NO PROBLEMS WHATSOEVER. |

I still remember those cars that we had complaints about were from British people. One was a brand new one and the customer emailed us furious how could his brand new car have a dead battery within a week of ownership (can't remember what he has done) but he had to call the 24 hour assistance to have him going the other guy was also British going up and down hills in the desert when all the air bags deployed and he was furious as it put his family at risk so we had to compensate him big time for that and replace all the airbags not saying this might be the case now, but it's good to be cautious

Stay away from a big and heavy truck/SUV if passionate driving is your first concern, and it should be because you are considering a M3/M4. RRS carries a higher price tag but it won't offer you the same driving experience you get from a M3/M4. The depreciation is also a disaster. In addition, the reliability of LR/RR is just terrible.

Holy thread revival! I too was surprised (like the guy in 2017) that this topic had come up already.
I'm on the fence between both - looking at MY15ish models for both cars. I've driven an M4 and 2x RRS plus a ton of other cars, and I'm down to M3 and RRS having cancelled out all other sports sedans and SUVs. Looks like a few people have both cars. If you could just have one, which would it be? Coming out of a B7 RS4 Avant. |

I sold mine (sedan) a while back and regret it all the time. But between the range and the M3 I’d go RRS. They just feel much more solid. So here’s the twist to my story, I ended up going built up LR3 and M2 combo. One sexy duo if you ask me. |

Yeah that does sound a good combo. My issue is convincing the wife I need 2 cars. She already doesn't understand why I don't just drive a 2007 Mazda 3.
My ideal is a RRS and an air cooled 911 project car, though tbh I probably couldn't swing that. A cheaper daily and a 911 might be an option. Surprising how versatile and awesome a B7 RS4 Avant is when you go to sell it and try to find something that ticks as many boxes. Really I can probably only have one car so it's a toss up between my inner hooligan and my getting older self wanting something more practical and comfortable day to day. Started looking at F10 M5s today as well, but I suspect it will be too much of a compromise on both fronts to excite me. |

I don't know what kind of answer your looking for ask a comparison between a suv and a m car. It a choice you have to make, damage rover are nice but the reliability and after parts is quiet expensive and m car s I don't think are as bad in quality with all the bugs an kilns on the rovers. Let us know what you decided on?
