Series II Discovery was the last of what was once a good thing. It was a rehash of the original Discovery that dates back to 1989/1990. In turn the original Discovery was nothing more than a re-bodied Range Rover of the time which in turn dated back to 1970, 40 years ago this year. That's why the D2 has had its day.

wow, you're a glutten for punishment. Coming from a disco, the x5 might seem more reliable.

But truthfully, you're asking for a world of hurt. 1st year production in a new plant for BMW = issues.

Just being honest, GL

Yeah, im of course concerned... But is there any other options for a high end vehicle? Wont touch a ML with a 10 foot pole, obviously burned out on the Rovers, Cayenne is out of my budget.. Not opposed to turning a wrench, since my first love is bikes, and i have a shop full of KTM's so really used to expensive parts and DIY jobs..

Then this should be a walk in the park
