If all goes according to plan I should be taking delivery on my new baby within the week. 2004 530iA with Premium Package.
The folks at the BMW Experience Centre in Whitby (Canada) have been very helpful in enabling me to end the lease on my Jaguar X-Type early. Prio to the X-Type I drove a 2000 328i so I guess you could say I'm returning to the fold.
I used to 'hang out' at Jagtalk.com and enjoyed the company, news, information and jokes. Looks like I've found a new home.
Cheers,
David

Hey doc!

Welcome. I'm sure you will love your new car as much as we all do here.

You've come to the right place to be able to share all things E60!

Hello there

Welcome.

One question, isn't the X-type a Ford Escort (?) in disguise? You are much better off with an E60, at least there wont be a cheapo cousin lurking around in the neighborhood....

Enjoy.

Welcome Doc.

Bunbun,
No the Jag X-Type is based on the Ford Mondeo.
