Hi just posting to say hi.

Been a BMW man for past 14 years. Currently running a 535d

Decided to take a company car and rather than a 1 series I thought I'd take the plunge and go for something new especially with all the hype and comparison with BMW.

Not truly convinced but I must admit the xe is a lovely looking car which will go some way towards making up for losing 100 bhp.

Ordered my r sport 180 5 weeks ago. Been advised it will be delivered 28th July.

Welcome along, the 35d engine is superb and I think you will struggle to compare it to the Jags but hopefully the rest of the XE will make up for it.

Thanks Rob.

I've had my 535d for 8 years and even on a 940 mile Nurburg road trip in Feb this year it was still able to blow me away with how good it is.

But 16-19mpg around town and particle filters etc on the horizon, it is time for a change.

Finally got to see an XE today.

This is pretty close to what I'm getting colour wheels etc except this is a petrol.

Nice one, take it you were happy with your choice then?

Was extremely pleased to finally see one and very impressed with interior. 6 weeks or so and it should be here.
