Do you ever get a hankering for something with high visibility? It can be rather relaxing to drive something that isnt a coup low to the ground with little windows.
No, never. The SL has great visibility for a non-SUV. The SL is the most relaxing and easy-to-drive car I have ever experienced. Yes, really. Gunther (the SL) is perfect for me.
Maybe where you are at they import better ones than they do in the US. In the US they're one of the worst rated vehicles. They're basically an expensive Dodge. Instead of a $35-70 oil change it's $800 for no reason other than they're designed to milk US consumers. They simply aren't made well. But in other countries you see them being used for serious out-door activity... I really doubt they're the same. They've had a long history of troublesome conversion to US markets because of different (but often equal) standards for certain specifications.
My daily when I'm driving is a RR Sport HSE Supercharged. Not the new one that looks like a big Evoque. The model before. I love it but the stereo leaves much to be desired. Great suspension, no body roll. The sucka can fly. Yes Tang one of the biggest reasons I love it is the visibility. I feel like a helicopter pilot.
When driven it's a MB GL350 Diesel. It can fit the entire family if the van is in the shop. My favorite for my long golf trips. It can carry my set, my luggage and that of my driver and security.
I already have a Ford Escape (named Barney) specifically for going to the forest and for transporting amplifiers.
I do not like driving big vehicles of any kind. My wife would not like anything so big. She likes her Susie (a Volkwagen Beetle Convertible).
Finally I think Range Rovers are very surprisingly unreliable. I have seen more Range Rovers on flatbeds being taken to the shop for service than all other SUVs combined!

I won't allow my used car manager to sell any Range Rover out of new car warranty. nightmare vehicles time and time again. don't stay fixed and dealers are crap and have to wait weeks for a service appointment.
I see why they are loved though; they drive wonderfully and are classy to look at. reminds me of certain girlfriends from another life.

Coming back to the BMW 6 series, I think the 635 csi in the 80’s is one of the BMW classics. For me the BMW has lost its heritage with their super modern looking wedge shape cars. The normally aspirated M engines are also very characteristically BMW unlike the super powerful modern ones..but emission does dictate technology.

Tang, I think it is fair to say nearly all brands have lost their chiselled looks from that era due to middle age spread in order to accommodate passenger and pedestrian safety, together with consumer demand for more refinement and features. Folded paper edges have become bluntened to resemble amorphous bars of soap. Turbo charging is not altogether a bad thing as it provides more midrange torque to carry all that extra weight. Even back in the day, my e30 M3 struggled to carry its weight and tall gearing unless given >4rpm everywhere.
After some fun research and test drives and yalking with Keith and Steve I want a 2019 SL 63. (We have not told Gunther about this yet, so please let's keep it quiet. Gunther is a good boy and he would be upset.)
