I'm off

Have traded in the 335i for an XKR which I am collecting today.

The 335i has been a wonderful car for the last 18 months. Extremely reliable, comfortable, quiet and has averaged 25.7 MPG which for a 360BHP monster is nothing short of amazing.

I'm only changing because I fancy something different and the XKR is certainly that.

I wish you all the best with your chosen cars (even the oil burners) and will leave you with one final thought.

This refers to an individual 335D driver on this forum and not to myself in an XKR.

Sorry for the confusion

Nice car the Jag. Had the pleasure of being in one which was pushing on and it certainly moves!

Sounds good too.

Enjoy!

XKR's are great, which one did you go for the 4.2 or 5.0 litre?

Hi, Just one picture

It's the 4.2 engine, I really couldn't afford the 5.0 model.
