I don't know about the Jags (yet), but this is consistent with my 6 series. I went to the dealer to have them specifically turn off DRL's and when I put my lights on in position 2, only my angel eyes were on (versus the low voltage headlight bulb on at the same time).

I would assume it is similar, but in either case, if I do end up getting one I will figure this one out within the first couple weeks, but there SHOULD be an ability from the dealer to program it this way. Otherwise, I would be very surprised - it would not make a whole lot of sense from a software programming and electrical sense.

 

If you put the parking lights on, the LED's do come on without the headlights but the taillights are on too. I just want the LED's to come on by themselves and there is no way to do this.

 

Well BMW owns mini and owners can do it in car on the 11 models.

 

I saw the XJ 75 concept in person and was surprised that I really liked the white and black contrast. Hate the wheels though. The blackedout rear window made the black c-pilar fit in better. I wish they would make this a production option.

I like that Bremont clock though.

 

Do you have any pictures of your caviar car as well as interior. I have read that caviar under gray skies looks more brownish and I have seen pics to that effect. What is your experience? Thanks

 

I have Stratus Grey with a London Tan interior and get compliments ALL the time at a standstill and on the road. The C-pillar is easy to make less noticeable (and more like what I feel was intended) by putting a very dark tint on the back windows.

Regardless of which color you get, I think the car looks stunning.

 

Wanted to throw in my two cent. I am surprised no one has put in a thumbs up for Lunar gray. To me silver/gray colors are the most dirt resistant. In a city like Houston where there is a lot of rain AND pollen, it is something to take into account. I have owned my fair share of black cars and love it those 2-3 days after I have it washed but the rest of the time they look dirty.

The lunar gray is a little darker than the silver and gives it a more designer feel. Despite what Jaguar andmost automaker thinks, I think it goes fine with tan interior.

The C-pillar have grown on me. It gives it a distintive signature to the car, sort of like the Audi R8 side piece thingy.

The only color I am not crazy about in this car is the cold artic white color. Most colors looks great in this beautiful car.

 

I'm thinking of silver or British racing green. I like the silver since, to me, it seems to show off the lines of the car really well. The brochure I have seems to almost exclusively use silver - there must be a reason for that.

Slight drawback is that all the silvers I find have black or navy interiors and I was hoping to get away from that for a change. I don't see the black interior as a deal breaker though.

Anyone own a British racing green XJ? How do you like it? It seems very dark from what I can see from pictures online. There are none locally (in Dallas) for me to look at.

 

Does anyone like the color Claret Metallic? I personally think the XJ looks great in it!

 

Yes.

I picked up a claret XJL last week. The interior is truffle/cashew.

 

Mine is claret and caramel/truffle, really gets so many favouable comments, really pleased with it, and it matches my earlier radiant red X350 nicely .

 

Take a look at Vapor Gray.
