Default Greetings from the Windy City!

Hello!
I'm new to the forum as well as to Jaguar ownership. I recently purchased a black and tan 2012 Jaguar XF. I was a little "scared", having previously owned a BMW 540i that I absolutely adored. I didn't think I'd like anything like my bimmer. My wife challenged me to look outside of the make and this caught my eye. I know very little about the car and its pros and cons, but it has an aggressive profile and I've always liked how the commercials pronounce the word, "Jag-u-ar".

I love the car and look forward to seeing how it handles in our Chicago winters!

Cheers!

Thanks for the welcome! I'm trolling it as we speak and am blown away by the beauty of the others' cars!

Welcome,


I am also from Chicago. I just bought mine 2012 XF three weeks ago. Used to have 325CI and 545i. Glad to see another bimmer guy switch to Jaguar
