    Mark your calender, gentlemen,


    In 16 days, a new Jaguar XJ (and XJR) will arrive and (hopefully) show the Germans how it's done.


    Stranger things have happened.

    @pauljones: You know how I love XJs but I think they're screwing this one up. I have high hopes for the cat but I'm afraid they're adding details just for the sake of being different. Like the quasi-invisible C pillar:

    The new 760 comes with a 544HP Bityrbo V12. That's M7 for me.

    We here at BMW listen to our customers and what they say. And we do what they want. Here's what they have to say:


    OMFG BMW u nedd 2 ttly do a thing tht makes ur car look cooler and faster.-Oakley_1


    I luv the way my BMW luuks, but I want it 2 look sikker!- Bang_Ur_Mom69


    So, we have decided, in lieu of a M7, to give you the 7-series M-Sport.

    And, let me guess, it probably adds $24,000 to the price of the car.

    Didn't BMW cancel that swoopy 4-door coupe that they showed at one the asian shows last year? Perhaps they plan on competing with the Panamera/Rapide/Camry LE with a hotted-up version of the 7 instead.

    well, it seems they are fairly far into the development of the M7. so if they do finish it out, my hope is that they keep the low-key bumpers and things. its high time bmw makes another q ship

    @joshman - chasing that star: Ok, well I say this cos every dentist I've had has a M-series. The dentist that lives at the end of my street had an M3 for ages before getting the last non-bangle'd M5, and my current dentist just bought an M3, and my girlfriend's dentist has an M3.

    When I went to another dental office for teeth whitening-- guess what car dominated the parking lot? BMWs. The dentist himself had a newer M5 and his associates had standard 3 series.

    I know that things might have been different in the past, but there is no room for a M7. If you are buying a luxo-barge, you don't want a harsh ride. Period. Put the biggest honkin' engine you can squeeze and call it the 799i for all I care, but M implies track like performance from a street car. I want my 7 series to be fast as hell, but the bumps should melt away beneath me. If you want M power and prestige with room for 5, the M3 sedan and M5 are already to big and will suit your needs just fine.
