How is your new D5?
Yeah, I'd prefer no run flats, but I'd probably stick with the premium plus and 19s. And just learned no air suspension on that model (and may not raise anyway). I've heard it's a much better performer and definitely smaller in rear. The already smaller Disco5 just has me looking elsewhere...- zgaspen

How is your new D5?
Thanks. The 4 zones (at least in my 2014 LR4) are front and rear and left and right. So hot lately I've actually had the rear zones running even when it's just me in the truck. Comfort seats are the primary reason I want to trade. So a bit concerned about the comments the interior isn't...- zgaspen

How is your new D5?
Where is the space reduced? I carry our bikes upright inside our LR4 and know the height has been drastically reduced. I tried fitting our road bikes with the demo and needed to open the 3rd sun shade. Need to go down and do the same with 29" wheeled mountain bike. I assume the demo had the 4...- zgaspen

2015 lr4 nas
Yes, HD pack. Of the 6 they got in, all but one had it. Not sure why they'd order without, but that's just me. Price I see did nearly double in 2 years. It's a total treat to rip off the trail onto smooth pavement in the LR4. I've ridden my mountain bike over Hagerman in early July... -

2015 lr4 nas
Considerably more than I expected at 48k. Not bad for $60k (MSRP $61k) exactly 24 months ago. I took immaculate care of the thing, but of course a few scratches and the stock Conti's were going to be thrown out in a month or two when snows go on. Probably close to being due for brakes also... -

2015 lr4 nas
Just purchased a 2014 HSE Lux with heavy duty package this weekend (Havana, Arabica/Almond interior). The dealer received 6 LR4's this week with the next batch being 2015's sometime likely late October. Not caring for some of the additions and changes mentioned, and being able to deal now... -

Black Powder Coated Rims - Yes or No?
I also think they look/would look great, especially with your other accessories. Beefs up the look while still adding contrast.....Also I'd think fairly practical with dirt and brake dust assuming you don't have a problem nicking them all up on or off road. Good luck! -

question on current LR4 lights option
There are actually 2,000 made. Maybe only 135 made it to the US, but that still sounds low. http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/05/land-rover-brings-expedition-minded-dc100-concept-and-lr4-specia/ -

question on current LR4 lights option
Well, after owning a 2012 Lux for just over 48 hours, I can honestly say I can't imagine the adaptive headlights could make the HID's any better. Driving through pitch-dark neighborhoods and winding mountain pass roads, the standard and bight HID's and fogs are amazingly bright and stick to... -

X5 to LR4
Taking delivery this weekend. Santorini Lux with the heavy duty package, no additional trim. Arabica two-tone interior and black rubber mats. Taking advantage of the low .9% rates and hoping I get 3-4 years of relatively trouble free use. Biking season is almost over, but looking forward to the... -

X5 to LR4
Thanks, guys. I appreciate the additional advice and thoughts. Late this afternoon I reserved a Santorini Lux that had recently come in. Beige/Arabica interior, Lux and Heavy Duty packages with the standard LUX 19" wheels. I went back and forth debating the pros and cons of 20"s and decided... -

X5 to LR4
I should also ask you guys who have commented - do your LR4's have 19" or 20" wheels? So far I have spent more time testing 20"s but am leaning to a Lux with 19"s. I am hoping the 19"s offer as firm as a ride. I think we're talking only a height difference of 50 to 55. My current 20's are... -

X5 to LR4
Thanks guys. The additional positive comments are appreciated. And I am definitely jealous of those having a need to keep both a BMW and LR4 (especially the guy floating around here with an X5M on order). For my type of driving, and given the winter, off-road and daily transport of some sort...
