I think that comparison is to the non-supercharged Jaguar with 300HP. The supercharged one (420HP) is really what 550i should be compared against because the price is about the same. So I really don't feel like BMW won this round.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
as much as I love the XF - and I actually do - there's just no way its even in the same league with the 5. My 530Xi will have the XF for breakfast on curves and in the city 
As for that comparison video, don't mean to be rude to anyone on this forum, but its amateur stuff to me...
