Wow the XF is really heavy ...and I do think it's ugly. So BMW for me.

It's heavy and long!! Well, the colour is not the best choice for the XF! It doesn't look good in bright colours, like silver or white!! Doesn't harmonise to the exterior design.

The XF is already losing to 5 year old cars,the new E and 5 will walk all over it in two years time!

1. BMW:

More space, better quality and driving dynamics - the BMW 525d is the clear winner of this comparison. The driving perfomance is better and he needs less fuel. deficits: wooden suspension and "poor" standard equipment!

2. Jaguar:

The XF offers "litheness" (hope it is the right word for it), running smoothness and relaxed driving. Also design and style are attractive. But especially the controlling of the multimedia system and the high running costs replace the Jag!

Re: [scans] AMS: BMW 525d vs. Jaguar XF 2.7 D

I saw a Jaguar XF in my town yesterday but couldn't get a decent shot of it since it was raining. Guess what. It had "official Jaguar plastic hubcaps" instead of proper rims. That just made it look hideous (and I think the XF looks pretty ok).

Are you sure it was hubcaps and not some sort of transport protection?

The XF rolls standard on 18' rims - I think. For option 19' and the supercharged model comes with 20'! So, in my opinion, it was some sort of protection. Or some winter tyres…and they don't have any good rims at the Jaguar dealer.
