Hi, I just joined the forum to learn more about the 2012 XF. I have a 203 X-Type that I am looking to replace. I am right now torn between the Jag and the BMW 550i. I would imagine some of you were in the same boat. Would welcome any thoughts.

 

Welcome to the forum,

Good to have you with us.
The XF guys will tell you what they think, so head over and ask in the tech section.

Welcome, Hans. We are biased, take the Jag Seriously though, the 5 series BMW is one of their better cars, but it just is a bit boring and common. The XF is sportier and better looking for less money.

 

Hi and welcome to the forum. Yes, the Jaguar is the better car. When you get it, I'd like to see some picures of it.

 

Welcome!

The BMW vs Jag debate is a long one. I came from a 2001 540i/6 that was an absolute blast to drive in the twisties, but was a bit harder around town. What I really liked about the Jag is to me is was a bit softer around town, but that is where I do most of my driving anyway. Also, I am in the camp of thinking that the double wishbone suspension is far superior to a McPherson strut setup for tactile road feel.

 

Hello and welcome Hans,

Not that I'm biased of course, but I just don't see any debate about which one to go for.
