I saw same as my car with AK wheels on
now looking at that I dont think I get 18" it must be 19"
18" looks so smalland the design looks 50/50 now

Q7 is one of the few cars that I've ever test driven but I lifted off the gas pedal and braked for certain corners as I simply just didnt have enough confidence. The diesel is great for fuel consumption, does looks v nice from the outside and a lot of room inside the car.

yea still keeping the e60 to take my family around, later on when I have another kid I will need to replace it with a 7seater, hope by then the Audi Q7 diesel will be cheap enough in used car market.

I want a beast looking car but no budget, so not many choices around but an old 911 turbo...
Looks great! Make sure you get AK to check over before paying any deposit
Especially the milage meter, you know its so easy to adjust the Kms in HK :thumbsdown:

Any mod plan in your mind?
996 - 997 turbo conversion?
check this out!

Congrats,the car totally transformed with the kit, thats why i said you should spend that money on bodykit instead of exhausts.

Looking forward to see the wheels and FSD put on

Dont get 18"
and go for the GTS wheels, much better looking wheel than the M3 replica
and GTS has resell value when you selling the car

Went to "car" window shopping with friends yesterday and didnt know the new Jaguar XJ has arrived in the showroom!
The car looks just stunning outside with beautiful lines and shape.

I was expecting high inside, but Jag let me down once again.

XJ supposed to be the S class or 7er rival
But the build quality is poor (in luxury car stnadard)as i can "easily" point out few craftmanship imperfections mostly on the steering wheel and in the door cards.
The rear leg room is just slightly more than our E60 (About 3cm more) and the head room is just enough for me!
The rear seat is thin and the leather feels very hard! Seems you are seating in 3er or A4 instead of 1.5M HKD worth of luxury limo!! :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:
