Shake n Bake, did you have a chat with your neighbour?
I'd be interested to know his thoughts?
Also have you managed to glide your hands over the interior of a few Jag XF's to compare the fit?

Cheers.

Yes, I had that conversation - he wasn't in agreement

I never did go back to Jaguar, pretty as the XF is I ended up sticking with what I know (and are very happy with) and bought another 520d

Late to the party obviously... F10 looks way better but then so did E60 when F10 first came out!

You and I got our 520d F10's at the same time I seem to remember, I have now gone a slightly different path by sticking with another F10 and fully loading a 535d as the G30 didn't float my boat personally ( and it didn't have a 535d available to order earlier this year)

Wish you all the best with it. How many miles have you done in the 2014 one? I managed 50k

Hi Piers,

In the end i did 60k miles. I got a massive discount off a new G30, so i went for it. I wanted a 7 but it was a nightmare to park. The F10 has served us well and will be missed.

Lovely colour and spec choice, good discount too! When I looked in March it was full price for a demo 530d that was used!

Blast from the past getting a notification on this thread! Loved the F10. Had an F31 335d XD since and now a year into Touareg. Where does the time go!

No doubt return to BMW at some point.

Hope you guys are all well!
