Haha don't knock the daily work horses!!

Although, the X5 is going to look at LOT better with a GTR on the back which is why we bought it! :D

Yeah thats fair enough I guess.

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Ours is not an under $20k version.

We did look at the Range Rover sport and were tossing up between both cars but at the end of the day the service at BMW vs the service when we looked at the Rangie (forget the exact dealership name but the one at Woden) made the decision really easy for us.

And yeah all depends what your needs are. We just need to tow a trailer which is 500kg and the GTR which is 1554kgs so more than does what we need it for.

Cruised behind a Matte Black 180sx along Southern Cross Drive around 3:30pm.

Was so low and hard in the rear, it seemed to be bouncing and skipping around everywhere.

Looked like it would be pretty hard to drive in the wet I reckon.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
