Well I pulled the trigger. Got me a supercharged XF. 35,000 miles. If you see an old fool flying down the highway with a stupid grin on his face it's probably me.

This won't help - I'd recommend a redirection as opposed to an interdiction - stick with the Beemers.  They've got stuff with HP, too.  Our son was a service manager at an exotic car dealership in MI for a while, and although I've never been in the market, his unsolicited advice, prompted by sheer frustration, has been to stay away from British automobiles.

 

You mean BIMMER....unless you are talking 2 wheels

 

BEEMER = BMW MOTORCYCLE

BIMMER = BMW CAR

 

Having been in "that" comminuty in the past...they get uppity!    :)

I didn't know they had different spellings based on number of wheels. Whatever the case, F both the cars and the bikes. The cars look like beavers these days (the animal)....

You know, having driven a few turbo cars over the years, 89 Plymouth minivan, 22 Silverado and a 15 BMW 535i, I love the supercharger.  Holy cow, talk about right now acceleration.   

 

Now I really know what they mean by turbo lag.  Of course, there is the old saying that if you have turbo lag you aren't driving it right. 

 

Gonna have to get my HP fix

Upgrade to a Porsche and avoid the spelling and pronunciation kerfuffle! 😂

 

Let's face it, a 911 is every BMW guy's ultimate goal, haha.
