This BMW N20 engine is amazing. Now all we want is something similar in our Jags!! Technology is moving very fast these days and the fact that a 2 litre, 4 cylinder is in the same ball park as a NA 5 litre V8 (the engine in my XF) in terms of performance is unbelievable (Jag 0 - 60 is 5.4, the BMW 0 - 60 is 5.9). Now all we need to see is whether it lasts!!

Thank you for the congrats.
