Sweet collection, welcome back!
Also, nice E90 M3! You have great taste! Not that I'm biased or anything.

Thank you sir. The E90 is a car I have trouble getting out of. I test drove a newer 550Xi to replace both the M and the S4 with and I couldn't get myself to do it. The M is ideal for daily and track day duties. Who wants to buy a B8?

I've been looking at them for over a year now. Waiting for my company to finally make up their minds with what our new car program is so I can pull the trigger, but alas until then I'm stuck in limbo. My buddy just picked up a V8 S5 and man that thing is awesome.

They are a great car for the money. Better build and finish than BMW IMO. The S5 looks sharper but the sedans have always felt lighter on their feet at least for me.

I haven't update this thread in a while.. but I've had the Jaguar for 2 months or so now and it's been a great car. I installed a set of winter Bridgestones and I try to bring it out on dry days.
As far as the reliability so far, it's been good. I've had 2 small niggles so far, one being the interior auto lights blinking randomly when I hit potholes or dips in the road due to the touch pad being overly sensitive.
The other issue was the interior weather strip that was a little loose so I got them to replace it under warranty.
Here are some pictures in the snow.
The M3 is also sold, her new owner picked her up last week. I'll miss that car.

Kudos for not being too uptight to take the cat out in the snow like most Jag owners would be. Love it!!

I traded the Sport for a Vogue Supercharged or the full size as we americans call it. Completely different vehicle and one notch above. I wish I would have just gotten this to begin with and yes in black.

I never had a CL. When I joined I had a BMW 335i coupe and was looking at the MDX which I loved and still like to this day. I also had a 2008 TL.
Thank you Yumcha,
They do compliment each other well.

I think you might have an idea. 
Essentially. My partner left our firm and moved to England which in turn forced me to buy his clients and share of the business. Otherwise, kids are doing well and grown now so between hockey and soccer, it doesn't leave much time for anything.

Well, glad you didn't forget about us!
The Jaguar is probably one of the most gorgeous production cars out right now. It must be such a joy to jump into it and head out whenever you drive it.
Any insight on ownership of it? Has it been running perfectly?

Most of the public don't know what it is so it garners a ridiculous amount of attention.
It has been running great with truly no issues I actually just came back from my first track day today.The car is truly in its element flying around corners and up and down elevation changes. I just need to get some better tires. I'll put up some pictures soon.

It is a joy to drive. I tend to keep it in its normal driving mode as the sound can be overwhelming at times. It's also a decent daily with the great meridian sound system. My one complaint is the ride is a bit stiffer then it needs to be but I suppose thats why the chassis is so rigid.
