[J1nxy]

Jag have finally released pictures of the Black Pack for the XF S, 5.0 and R. Its been spec'able on the website for a while but there were no pictures, particularly of the wheels.

I like it, less chrome the better on the dark car and the wheels look good.

I just cant get to like those cars, drive great though.

The white one is parked outside reception here. Looks superb.

Im looking forward to the MY12 updates aswell when we finally see the headlamps more akin to the C-XF (similar to XJ)

I really love the way the XF looks. Even more so with the new pack on.

It's a good job I'm a massive blinkered BMW fanboy or it would be quite hard to choose which car is best.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

I would say XF.

... but then Im massively biased aswell!

 

[TS7]

I like, apart from the colour of the alloys.

 

[Moeks]

Very nice, I do like the XF a lot, not so keen on the new XJ though, but the XF is 'just right' I think.

You can't wait for them to ruin the good looking front end with some awful headlights then?

 

[Rilot]

The xf still makes me turn and look. Not bad for car that's been around 3 years.
That black pack looks awesome.

 

[[TW]Fox]

Headlights are the only weak spot of the XF for me.

I think it a case of making a good front end better by putting the lights from the concept on.

Considering looks are an opinion I'm not sure why you are questioning my statement. Particularly when I know what the new headlights look like

Do you know when the My12 is due to launch?

Same here, no matter how hard I try they just don't work for me.

 

[Tute]

Nor me.

Is it just me, or are the stated figures not really that quick for the power?

3.0 L V6 Petrol 2008–09 8.3 s 237 km/h (147 mph)
4.2 L Naturally Aspirated V8 Petrol 2008–09 6.5 s 250 km/h (155 mph)

I suspect they are not that fast because they've got proper torque convertor automatic gearboxes tuned for wafting not traffic light GP's.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Errrmm, lol?

That's the 155 limiter... The XFR is epically fast.

3.0 petrol is getting replaced with a 3.0 charged version making 340 aswell.

[[TW]Fox]

He's talking about 0-60. You need a V8 to match the 0-60 of a 530i, for example.

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Ah yes, I see that now.

Interesting point, but easily countered. What weight does the 530i rock in at, manual 0-60 aswell?

 

[Lashout_UK]

XF weighs almost 1900kg, that's why - a good (Fox, need your help here) what, 200/300kg more than the equivalent BMW?
