i took min out for a lil bit yesterday

[youyou]

So i was at the car show yesterday and i got to sit in the new Jaguar XJ Supercharged.
One word. Wow!!
I personally think Jaguar is really stepping up their game and the new XJ is no exception...
Now in terms of technology and interior it's by far the sickest interior i have ever seen.
If no one has seen the interior and the Digital tach please youtube it. It's impressive.
BMW's booth left a lot to be desired. Nothing special at all there. Was very surprised...

Jags are depreciation monsters, hope they fare better in the future. They are not really known for performance, more for their unreliability.....

That means:
20 mins going there...
5 minutes get it out.
20 minutes back home.
1h30 to get to the West Island.

repeat to bring it back to the South Shore.


maybe I evaluated the time to get to the W.I. a little bit too much...

I will go check it out on Thur night.
Jags look good. It doesn't surprise me that you like the XJ since you wanted a 7 series just a few months ago. Still those cars are closer to my age group than yours... but my wallet doesn't seem to be thick enough.

[overkill1125]

I have a 2006 325i and was thinking of removing the resonator and keeping the OEM muffler.

Have any of you done this? Will it make any difference. Or should I just not touch it and spend my money on something else?

I am saving up for a performance muffler. Everything is that much more expensive to upgrade on an Bimmer.

Let me know.

Thanks!

so officially bmw is saying no Z4M for the current generation z4... so this is as good as its going to be!... start saving your loonies tony.

[Tonybest]

great video... hmmm not an M. I will keep mine forever. Will modify it for track in about 4 years time. Until then it will be my 3 seasons daily driver and track car.

I will not be tempted by another car... I will not be tempted, I will not be tempted...

Yes the 2013 or 2014 Cayman S will surely be tempting...
Are you still debating changing your tires for next year ?

BTW niqui, I got a resume by email today. I will check it out tomorrow

Probably wouldn't get it at this point in my life but it's definitely a good looking car. At least that's my opinion.
I gotta say though that what really impressed me about the car is the interior quality and the gadgets...

After driving AWD ( Quattro ) for past few months , i don't think i'll ever go back to anything else. I am now convinced that we need AWD in Montreal. IT just makes a world of a difference.
I was at my Girlfriend's sister chalet in Harrington which is where we had out Drive at the beggining of November and i did that whole road all the way up to Tremblant with my car during New Years weekend. There was snow everywhere on the roads and i was so impressed by my car that it was shocking how well this car handles in the snow. I would have never dared taking these roads with my M.
Bottom line is M for summer and Quattro for Winter . If you can only afford 1 i would have to say an AWD car.

[Bimmerista]

Funny thing is, while awd is great for winter, I went the opposite direction from youyou; from an awd Audi to a rwd BMW....

For Urban and suburban driving, awd is not required, but welcomed in winter. For country driving, I agree I would prefer awd in winter.

Not something I wanted to read a few of months before the end of my lease... Specially since I'm considering RWD

I loooooove driving my car in the winter, specially after a nice snow storm... but I want something fun the summer months...

And no... I can't afford 2 cars... not yet.

Saw your car the other day Youval... lookin' good buddy!
