Seven seater replacement for c7 rs6 ?
With little one no 4 on the way I'm going to need a seven seater next year
Love my rs6 but it's the daily and they dont do a 7 seat one, I've been hunting around but can't find a seven seater equivelant
I thought mercedes did an amg estate 7 seater car over 500 hp but I can't seem to find one, suv is last resort ideally want 7 seat estate car with loads of grunt

I thought the E class was a 7 seater or was that just an option when new? . What's an E63...... 550bhp? Almost enough power for you but probably not quite.... 😂

There's a couple of e63 estates on ebay just now, they don't mention how many seats in the adds but I thought the E class was a 7 seater.

But it's rear facing permanent seats, I need forward facing fold down seats so one or 2 can be folded down when required for extra luggage space

they will fold flat, into the hole where all the floor mats are, still face the wrong way for what you want tho. and they are short journey seats really, still very funny when you get picked up from the pub and you and your mate are both around 6ft

I think the newer rr sports with that engine have 7 seats anyway mate so I could just buy one of those if going that route, but I already have an earlier V8 range rover sport

I was hoping the X5 50i had the same engine as the M5 4.4 TT and would be easy for 700 hp like the rs6, but it seems there are differences, tuneable to 540 hp though on a stage 1 remap so I've read so looking like a possibility it will fit the bill

Now that is perfect but to new, the depreciation would be horrific ! I think they may have only just started doing them sadly :-(

There's so many out there ive found Bentley bentayga, mercedes GLS 63 amg, bmw X5 50i m sport.
They even do a grand keep Cherokee hellfire with a 700 hp hellcat engine in but there only 5 seaters
But there all SUVs it's not looking like there is an estate car that has forward facing fold flat third row of seats

you will need the X7 m50i as the X5 only has 5 seats now, 7 seater is the X7

I wouldn't buy new the depreciation is just ridiculous, will be looking at around 2015 models ish well below half price of new even with low mileage
So far I'm debating BMW xdrive50i m sport, Bentley bentayga or mercedes gls63amg
Bentley alot of money, BMW I like as lighter but it's only a mid size suv, or Merc full size heavy suv but tuneable to big power and plenty of boot space with 3rd row seats up, or sacrifice some boot space and have the lighter BMW
Decisions, decisions ........

good shout with the D4 Martin, I have the SDV6 version, I'm sure you'll find one with a snapped crank somewhere as a donor.
With regards to using a disco/x5/merc as a full time 7 seater I'd get way too pissed off putting seats down etc and just get a T6/Custom van instead.

ive got enough work vans I dont want another one to go out in lol
Will be 7 seater most of the time I have zero problem flipping a little seat up and down a few times, I'm not 90 years old yet
I just want the biggest bang for buck which I think is a Merc GL or GLS

Merc GLS next version after the GL but very similar car
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...d&modal=photos
First 7 seat range rover I've found bit pricey though
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...d&modal=photos
And my favourite the Bentley bentayga onyx, scary price with I'm sure an even scarier depreciation rate, but do love the look of it
https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classif...d&modal=photos
I've got about 25 weeks so still time to ponder abit more yet lol

Well time is ticking away fast so I've bought this today
I have been pondering on a few options but at the end of the day it's a 5.5 litre twin turbo V8 with 560 hp 560 ft-lb, and with a dms remap 700 hp 740 ft-lb which has clinched the deal for me lol
Got 12 months warranty so may leave remap til after that's finished

No one mentioned the ultra rare R63 AMG 😬
https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-...-r63-amg/25651
and to top it off I know you are a fan of the c5 RS6, I seen a S6 so same chassis with the 7 seat option so it was optional it seems 😂

edit: I’ve always wanted to try a fast merc, I know they like to draw 11’s for fun 😎
