Its like organic products at supermarket. You pay extra for them but did you you farmers can still label products organic if they use pesticides etc for emergencies? Its bmw markting BS at its best.

The Jag is going Aluminium to get down to a similar weight to the current F10. When the 5-er goes CF, what will Jag do then? I notice that Jaguar normally quote kerb weight..., whereas BMW quote DIN weights... so -75kg for BMW weights, or +75kg for Jaguar weights.
Q7 is a different case, I'm guessing because it no longer rides on a very outdated VW platform. |
Exactly! The old Q7 is a pig! Around 5300lbs to be exact. I used to own a Q7 TDI and it felt like a boat. The new Q7 is smaller in size, just a touch heavier than X5.
