Go check BMW performance specs and jaguar x-type specs. 6.9 (7.5) for a 330xi vs. the x-types 6.6(7.1) vs. the 330i 6.4 (7.0). plus the jaguar is 30% stiffer in the chasis. For all purposes the jaguar generally is faster than the BMW, and it is not the official car of the jerk. Not to mention buying a Jag is easier and cheaper than the bimmer. Hell we almost bought a $27,000 BMW a few years ago the lease they wanted was $460 a month 36month lease, our 3.0L Jag is around that price and is $10,000 more than the BMW. Thank god BMW doesn't own Rover any more as we leased one and they were unable to get that straight they managed to screw up payments and lost the check. BMW is not well run and could potentially get swallowed by Fords premier autogroup aka Jaguar-Astin Martin- Land Rover or Volkswagen. Hey at least the x is build in england, where as the BMW is built in the Ukraine, that is why their margins are so high. Once jaguar fixes some interior flaws aka ford parts in the interior the jag is the class leader.
