Letter in Autocar re XE S
Discussion
The letter writer had the latest version Alpina D3 ,for anyone not into Alpina this is the BMW 3 series with the 335d engine breathed on by Alpina ,including new mechanicals 350bhp 515 lb torque etc Suspension etc etc.
He test drove the XE S and was blown away ,by the engine and the handling ( against an Alpina handling that is something) he said the Derv was just a tad quicker but loved the Jag engine far more.
So hes taken a financial hit to get into one.
Read all the reports it beats BMWs new 340i in nearly every dept.Thing is it comes in around £46k I think and BMW are giving big discounts on the new 340i so probably £7/8k+ more expensive...so thinking aloud are Jag overpricing their wares ala the F series and now this? Id love one by the way !!
