Whoever took the photo needs to properly adjust their trousers. Too long and bunching on the lower legs. Very scruffy.

Before BMW lost the plot a 328i had a 6 cylinder engine. Then, when they realised that they couldn't get close to the fuel consumption of the vastly superior diesel models, they decided to fit a 2 litre 4 cylinder petrol engine out of a leaf blower. In order that it could overtake a milk float in the high street they then had to fit a turbo. I hope you've gone for the suspension upgrade so at least you will be comfortable while you're waiting for it to get up to motorway cruising speed.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake. More space, more comfortable, vastly superior 6 cylinder diesel engine and, most importantly, infinitely more class. And it won't get delivered with the boot badge fitted upside down.
The Jag is no match for my six cylinder, 3 litre, twin turbo, diesel MWB :p

So does the XF. We'll both be down the pub before Beaker.
What a lot of Beemers have in their favour is that the bodywork is aluminium, which favours the power to weight ratio. Personally, I think it's a bloody nuisance because the panels dent like wet paper.

We'd be clattered before he got off his drive :D

The Jaguar has aluminium panels too. You have to be bloody careful not to lean on it while you're giving it a wash. But so fucking what - it goes like shit off a shovel and I don't waste my life on fuel station forecourts.

Here's a picture of the last time you two met up in your oil burners....

I put a dent in the suage line of my bonnet when treating my windscreen with Rain-ex. Luckily, I know a most excellent dent remover.

Another benefit of the awesome, powerful diesels - less time in filling stations (y)

The only thing that would be clattering would be your Diesel engine!!

No. That's the pensioners in your neighbourhood coming to see you with 'payment' for your DIY services.
Weak

They using those flares because you've taken out the local sub station with your outside light installation?
Even weaker!!

Don't be so nasty, you should sympathise as they have both been up all night trying, and failing, to come up with witty and superior responses to worm their way out of their latest inevitable defeat.

On the contrary. I am so weak it's taken me all night to type this response.

After three pages, what exactly was the purpose of this post? Was it about the badge being upside down or does one turn the badge to access the boot?
Basically it was me being big enough to post something that I knew was going to get me slaughtered.

It worked.

The ability to laugh at oneself and bring a little happiness into the lives of others should not be underestimated.

Oh, by the way...wash your mouth out with soapy water...do you really believe I would own a car that you had to make contact with to open the boot??:rolleyes:
