Oh bloody hell!! So so tempted but also have reservations about owning something so specialised. Also, SWMBO would kill me if I bought a 16 yr old car, regardless of how fantastic I think it is.rodbargee wrote: Thu Oct 13, 2022 10:17 am sure am, we're moving up to the top end of Wensleydale so will lose the garage I built. Got to find a place to keep th ZZR too, garages up there are like hens teeth so it's got to go, Just been serviced too. £21K and it's yours
H2 R?Well done. I was seriously tempted. Always fancied a M5 but your B5 is stunning.
You wouldnt have regretted it. Pretty well as fast as my zzr over a ton

I don't doubt it. I'd want a newer model M5, I wouldn't buy a '06 M5. But as I said, your B5 looks special and I would have made an exception for that. Glad you sold it and hope the new owner looks after it.rodbargee wrote: Sat Oct 15, 2022 12:57 pm`the B5 is quicker than an M5 has 136 ftlbs more torque and the M5 is limited to 165
So, my hunt for a new car seems to have ended. I sold my A45 to a dealer on Friday for £3k more than we buy any car offered.Nordboy wrote: Sat Oct 15, 2022 2:03 pmI don't doubt it.

Me, back on the hunt for a new car
This is a pain and can make pulling out of junctions awkward, I found the fix is to leave it in drive with the handbrake on so when you press the accelerator it releases the brake and goes much quicker.Autocar wrote:The gearbox is the familiar eight-speed ZF auto with paddles for manual shifts. For the most part it’s a smooth gearbox, although it does share the same hesitancy when pulling away from a standstill that seems to blight Jaguars.
It's actually been a non problem, so much better and smoother than my Mercedes. The XFS itself sounds great, drives great and can really get down the road for a big car. Very pleased so far (would have loved the B5 though)Mussels wrote: Sun Oct 23, 2022 9:57 pm I hadn't seen a petrol XFS, looks interesting. I've had my diesel one for longer than I normally keep cars and not seen anything I'd want to swap it for yet.
I had a quick look at a review and this sounded very familiar:This is a pain and can make pulling out of junctions awkward, I found the fix is to leave it in drive with the handbrake on so when you press the accelerator it releases the brake and goes much quicker.Autocar wrote:The gearbox is the familiar eight-speed ZF auto with paddles for manual shifts.
