Very interesting video, but it makes me think that BMW has lost their edge

The front of the XE is gorgeous. The back reminds me of a deformed first-gen Audi A5.

The uk auto magazine scribes have been raving about the new jag, and jag have invested heavily in the new platform and design.
I must say I'm a fan, and if I was looking for a new car I would have no qualms buying one over the bmw  |

It is a credit to Jaguar that they have gotten it right out of the box. I think the adaptive Bilsteins probably help and it has a little more power and torque.
I think BMW made a mistake with the electric steering but then I guess it is a sign of the times. The stock M-sport suspension has never been great and we know the stock tunes on the gear box and engine are never the best for a sporting drive. With that said I'm sure Alpina could sort the new 335i out properly (I think they already have) and/or a JB4, transmission flash and a new set of Bilsteins at a fraction of the price. I also prefer the look of the BM |

Having brought quite a few BMW in the past, I think the XE S will be a good option to consider for my next car. I have not have the best of luck with most of my BMW in the past in terms of reliability which is the main reason I'm looking to leave the BMW family. Dont get me wrong, BMW always drive like a BMW should so I'm quite reluctant to go else where but having a car that keep having issues here and there all the time is not acceptable. I know the Jaguar has improve in reliability over the years and I think it is worth a go especially after watching the review. http://www.caradvice.com.au/361118/p...sues-increase/ http://www.freep.com/story/money/car...guar/24963619/
