I believe the 2016-2018 era RRS had many electrical issues that seem to be sorted out now. Also, as others have said there is a much bigger dealer network for BMW. I used to have a Jaguar XJ - I really liked it and I had no issues with my dealer. Always got a loaner with no problems. No major mechanical issues in 6 years of owning it - 2012-2018, when I decided to get an SUV. RRS at the time had the electrical issues so went with Cayenne S. Last year, when I wanted to get a RRS V8, they were too expensive for my budget. But everyone I know who has a recent RR really likes it.

I would not just dismiss LR outright. They make some good products that look great. JMHO.
Have you tried the infotainment in the RR SVR? Its a complete mess. Laggy, unintuitive, and requires multiple button presses to do anything.

That alone for me was a deal breaker. Add that its the same price as an M and a full second slower and it has a history of poor reliability kills the idea even more.

Exterior design is subjective. I personally think the X6M is the second most handsome SUV on the market after the Urus.
