Hello one and all,
Been a long time lurker soaking up all the invaluable info and advice on here.
Two time owner via a v6 in 2014 and now returned to a v8 convertible.
So glad to have returned to a fun car!
Intro from a newbie
Hi Dave, and welcome to the non-lurking side!
Be interesting to hear your opinion on the differences between the 2 cars.
Sure we know the power / sound is very different, but maybe more the overall driving experience and feel between rwd V6 and awd v8.
A few photos would make it an even better post when you have some time

Hi Lunar,
Nice name colour connection!
Came from a v8 m3 to the v6s which had so much character compared to the German.
V6 definitely more responsive handling wise (but only had the v8 since mid Dec).
Still getting used to the awd but in fairness it really feels rwd so don't feel I'm missing out by going awd.
Mine were both similar spec to yours and both are great great cars v6 a fair chunk better on fuel with a gorgeous pops and bangs, the v8 heavier feeling but for me more planted and vicious cracks from the exhaust!
Had some Michelin put on recently and the fitters reckoned f types are the best sounding cars, can't disagree!
We know they brighten any day.

Should have gone for a late RWD V8, best power to weight ratio and a lot lighter on the front end than the 4X4.
Nice looking in white, really suits any F.

Because it's a pearlescent paint I think it's look whiter in some light and less white in others. I think Polar is a solid colour that's the same white all the time. BTW, since MY18 Glacier has been called Yulong.
