Really? These days I find the 5er to look quite odd without the sport package.

I have to agree the XF has an awful interior quite cheap indeed. The car I got to sit in felt like interior bits where just going to come off because they were so loose. The doors also shut like a cheap econo car.

Re: [pictures] BMW 550i vs. Jaguar XF V8

Very disappointing to hear about the quality of the interior. None of the auto shows I've been to this year had open XFs for people to sit in. Silly since the car is no on sale.

We went to the presentation of the XF and I was quite impressed by its interior. The quality is a lot better - especially compared to XJ and S-Type! It doesn't feel cheap at all, the pre-facelifted 5-series feels much cheaper in my opinion.
Mmhh, maybe I'm wrong, or there were just some car with good build quality!

BMW for me please!

The Jag does absolutely nothing for me. Unless it's 10000% better IRL.

Re: [pictures] BMW 550i vs. Jaguar XF V8

The XF interior may not feel that high quality, but it is certainly a step in the right direction for Jaguar in my opinion. Most Jaguar interiors look preety cheapy - I especially hate the XJ's interior. But despite this, there is something about Jaguar's exterior's that make up for it. I really do like the 5 series (if 'dressed' properly) but I've come to like the Jag alot more.

Re: [pictures] BMW 550i vs. Jaguar XF V8

I haven't sat in an XF, but seen quite a few on the street, and with the right rims, from the rear 3/4s, it looks amazing! Not such a fan of those front lights though. On looks I'd go for one over that 550i, if it had the M pack, I'd change my mind though!

Re: [pictures] BMW 550i vs. Jaguar XF V8

As much as I like the 5 and as much as I dislike the front lights on the XF...the 5 looks really dated next to the XF now.

I don't think I even need to comment regarding which car I would choose
