Final Post
Well went out and had a look at different options as previously mentioned (ML320, RR Sport, BMW X5, VW Toureg).
After some discussion and driving a couple of the cars, we have decided to keep the R36.
I am going to invest in some protective rubber for the boot and rear bumper, feel all will be ok.
Had we gone down the SUV track, I think the Merc would have been the best option for us. BMW X5 - not impressed, RR Sport - 2.7TDI grossly underpowered , but easily the best looking car, VW Toureg - Interior a bit drab, boot space not impressive. Merc was beautiful inside, had the best engine of the cars, and looked good.
I hear the MY10 RR Sport has a new 3L engine, so when the lease on the R36 comes up in 2011 perhaps it will be an option....
