BMW L6’s are smooth as silk, but their V8’s aren’t too shabby either. A V8 is still a naturally balanced engine. As for the E90, meh…still not crazy about its looks. Nothing will ever top the simple beauty of the E30. ---

Looks like a car one of my customers would buy. He had to get rid of his M3 because of a baby on the way…So he bought a 300 SRT-8. He said the SRT-8 doesn’t feel that much slower, and it does handle very closely to his M. ---

The point was to say, “I would rather have an XJR than an M5 because the M5 is ugly,” you said, “Because Jaguars are known for reliability.” Well, the implied alternative to the XJR would be the M5 because that’s what the original comparison involved.

you know what I loved about the E30 and E46? the understated balance of line. you can tell someone sweated those “simple” lines, re-laying the tape over and over until it was right there. the 5 series had that too, great proportions, great stance. the flame styling has grown on me a bit, sure. but it just doesn’t have that teutonic feel. flame styling would be bad-ass on a modern camaro, but notsomuch on a bimmer. ---

Not sure if that’s changed. Thats putting words in my mouth. But if you want to get right down to it, I think BMW is a better car than Jaguar.

The Brits have a way of making nice cars that just don’t last. No, it’s not at all. Unless you just hate logic… I really only think the XJ is worth consideration. BMW is kicking themselves for not producing an E46 M3 sedan, as when the E36 M3 sedan was in production it outsold the coupe every year… ---
