Had an XJR that shape already, brilliant, but averaging 6 mpg at one point wasn't good  :o

ok, lets do a TG comparison of the bmw, porsche and jag (xkr).

0-60 is 4.5 secs in the xkr - whats the porsche and jag?

BMW 635d is the best bet I think, plenty of horsepower, DMS remap will get it too 348 BHP and give me about 40 mpg so I'm looking at those, then agin I may not bother with the coupe car, too impracticle.

porsche 911 turbo and bmw 635 belong to different leagues.. however if you want to compare similiars , M6 which belongs to that league is 4.5 secs..

Yeah they do, but a 635d will get me from 0-62 in about 5.5 seconds with a DMS map, I think I need a large comfy diesel car anyway  :y
