What I love about the BMW noobs is how they critisise the first of the real BMW M5 competition from Jag! This is Jag's first of the new AJ GEN III engined car's, it's taken BMW from 2003 (the new M5) to now to make it that good. Yes it's a great car but lets see the XFR in 6 years of tunning and tweaking, playing around... Anyone remember the original idrive? BMW fanboys get over it, the Jag desiel beats BMW D, the XKR, beats BMWs M6 and the XFR is a better luxuary car than the M5...

Jaguar never get their 0-60 times right. I've noticed on all the M5 board video's that the XFR has always kept up with the M5 and sometimes got in front, even when the M5 started earlier.

This is generally because the XFR has a faster gearbox than the M5, I bet the M5 jolts you forward with the force of a giant lorry hitting you, but that's Germany's idea of "Comfort".

the e63 doesnt need turbos to own it!!

@LukeXgamer the jag came out in 2009/10 and the 5 came out in 2005. they are years apart in technology yet the xf can only keep up? anyway new m5 next year! 550 bhp+!!

dont get me wrong im not some bmw fanboy but the xfr cant be as good as the new m5 can it?

[Scudeyyy]

@sw1000xg 1 year after you posted this comment, bmw now has the new 35d engine which is better than the jag diesel, the new m5 has been unveiled and its got north of 550 bhp and the new 6 is actually a good match for the xk (which i prefer).

but both jag and bmw are making great cars and i gues its just choice at the end of the day.

has he ever driven a really light weight, high powered car?!?!

[sw1000xg]

@twinsixty EVERYONE states the XFR is much better all round than the M5... Only thing better on the M5 is track performance, that's it!!! ~Comfort, looks, performance all to the Jag!!!

@sw1000xg

but the M5's engine is untouchable ;) and the quality is much better :)

[UltraPeachy]

I'm thinking about getting Jaguar XF for my birthday, is it worth having as a first ever car?

[FUCK202]

@sw1000xg not to mention it is less common, better looking, better looking interior and called a 'jaaag' to quote jeremy clarkson

[LukeNAESA10]

The M5 has taken at least 6 years to become as good as it is today, even with the 2001 census M5, the S-type R and XJR both had the same amount of power, nicer interiors, and were equally reliable, despite what these BMW salesmen on here say..

Now with the new XF, XJ-L and the new XJ Supersports, I think the German car market is going to have a hard time selling cars, Jag's ALWAYS come with more bang for buck, more stuff as stock, whereas with BMW, Audi etc you get NOTHING.

@sw1000xg I agree i am a huge BMW fanboy basicly because my all my family owns one but this jaguar gets me excited every time. Bmw may have more customers but jaguar just started becoming good so in no time it will surpass the germans.
