I am not interested in the sound the engine makes, when i am driving i can't hear it. Must be a bitch to have to drive with a window open all the time to hear your burble. If i want to hear a V8 burble i just start the Porsche up.
Posh
What mpg??

Silence rules
I have to agree in part....
I like a smooth silent cruise...but I do like to hear the V8 gird its loins when I mash the throttle....
The L322 sounds awesome when on form...and so does my 735 (Same Engine Family M62TU) and that is stately until firmly prodded and she will roar at you too in loving response..!!

Yep, this is my 4th 7er, my 3rd 735 and 2nd E38.....
Runs on LPG and is as cheap to run as Girlfriends Fiat 500....(aslong as I don't bomb everywhere)
The M62TU engine is the same (albeit smaller CC) as the Range Rover so I have familiarity there.
I am a not only a Range Rover Geek and their biggest fan....I am also mad about E38 Bimmers too...there is just something about these big German barges I adore!

Fiat returns 45mpg on petrol and the Bimmer is around 22mpg on gas....
In cost per mile it is within a penny of eachother

I am just an adoring fan is all....masochistic, yes....but I just love the E38's and Range Rovers....You are a real masochist Ant, I had a BMW, it was an even bigger heap of **** than a Range Rover
The L322 is the pinnacle for me - it is an E38 BMW (with other elements in the mix) in Range Rover Clothing....I get the best of both worlds!
