Took a couple of years, but I'm in. Owned a ton of different brands, but this is my first Jag. Thanks for the forum. I've been lurking for years, and reading up. Invaluable advice here.

Gawd I always thought that later model Beemer grille was hideous but seeing it next to an F-Type grille just makes it appear even more hideous!

Can you divulge where you live? Looks like a lot of salt or sand on the road. Leave the F in the garage til that clears up!

New Mexico. High desert. Of course the car gets delivered on the one day we have snow. Mostly dry and sunny here.

Congrats! We have some things in common. We got our Jags within a few days of each other it appears, I trailered mine home through a snow storm, and I have a white M240i (full FBO).

Congratulations. And on New Mexico not requiring a front license plate (I checked that out before posting; apparently some parts of the legislature wanted one….glad it got shot down). And while I am not a fan of the grill on the BMW—not that you asked anyone’s opinion of your BMW—I look at it like the shape of a heart and that is usually quite appealing to my eye.

P.S. They look great side by side. And love the planes “flying”, upside down no less, over the cars.

There is a very unique car culture in New Mexico. It's commonly accepted that Lowriders had their start in northern New Mexico (Espanola) and that tradition continues, its a very big deal up north. That's the main reason everytime law enforcement asks the state legislature to mandate front license plates it gets rejected. The car guys come out in force to protest. Happens on a regular basis here. Thank goodness.
