Hi,
No BMW TD today as the 740i did not show up. Have already driven the 730 so fixed for sometime midweek. Asked the lady on the telephone and she said it depends on what wheel is chosen. If its 18 " then all tyres are the same size, if its the classic multi spoke 19' then 275/40 at the rear and 245/45 as the fronts.
Will confirm when i get my hands on the car though.
Since we were all present we went to check out the Jaguar and checked out the XF and the XFR. Lovely looking machines, big beefy engines, typical understated(but brilliant) british build. Sales staff are extremely co operative and reasonably well informed. Now that the initial craze is over u can get a longish TD and the car did not seem to be on a 15 minute 'leash' as when we checked it out a few months earlier.
Drove the XF at Worli seaface in minimal traffic and it is a beast. Feel of the car is wonderful and i did not even dare try sports mode. Am just wondering what the XFR with over 500 horses will be like to drive with its supercharger and those uber cool 20 " alloys and intakes!!!!!!!!! Was told that its been raised a bit for our roads and this TD car easily went over the largish speed breakers at Worli with 5 adults in the car. If only they would assemble this here, they could sell on road for about 60/62 as against the current 80+ and for car freaks this would be a great naturally aspirated 5 litre V8 with enough space and big 'X' factor.

PS - ICE is 14 B&W speakers!!!! No comment on quality as local FM stations can hardly reveal a systems quality. In dash 6 cd changer and claimed 440 WPC. Guy mentioned Dolby 3 stereo and pro logic but i thought pro logic was a term used only for a an A/V set up and this is simply an audio system.
). And i mentioned that there is a person from Kannur who is big time into audiophile stuff and she was quite surprised when i told you make most of the stuff yourself.
