Default Greetings from the Windy City!

Hello!
I'm new to the forum as well as to Jaguar ownership. I recently purchased a black and tan 2012 Jaguar XF. I was a little "scared", having previously owned a BMW 540i that I absolutely adored. I didn't think I'd like anything like my bimmer. My wife challenged me to look outside of the make and this caught my eye. I know very little about the car and its pros and cons, but it has an aggressive profile and I've always liked how the commercials pronounce the word, "Jag-u-ar".

I love the car and look forward to seeing how it handles in our Chicago winters!

Cheers!

Welcome,


I am also from Chicago. I just bought mine 2012 XF three weeks ago. Used to have 325CI and 545i. Glad to see another bimmer guy switch to Jaguar
