I agree you get better a bang for your buck. Iv got plenty of time to make up my mind, as I am not in a rush.
A friend of mine who currently owns a XF pointed about that you can get a good XJ for that money now. But then I thought I am not old enough for one.

I know he's a BMW fan but I was genuinely being honest. From the ones I looked at on auto trader, they looked totally uninspiring. 90s volvo steering wheel, flat boring dash and the interior looked bland. Maybe it's just me, but my mates 14 a5 looks a lot nicer IMO.
I'm happy to be proven wrong if you can find a decent example but from all the BMWs I've looked at, the interior isn't their strong point.
Yeah I did wonder if actually being in it is more of a sale point. Bad pics also don't help.Photos, particularly dealer photos on a phone camera with the exposure set slightly too high, dont do any car justice on the inside.
You need to be sat in it. It helps if the interior is actually a nice specification with contrasting leather and nice wood grain etc.

My F33 was specced with leather dash, it makes the whole cabin feel far more upmarket than it has any right to feel IMO.Leather dashes have been an option on most BMW's since the mid (maybe early? Not sure) 80's but have always been very rare.
My E30 could have been specced with leather dash, centre console, and door cards if the original buyer was feeling flush!
I have to agree, they are functional and reasonably well put together although they do creak but they are boring as hell. Apart from the change in infotainment screen the dashboards have looked virtually the same for 10 years or more

What the BMW dash needs is large, kidney shaped air vents in the middle of it
Of course the ironic thing is the worst car in this class with the worst interior is the Jaguar XF. I have no experience of the XJ so won't comment only to point out it's a clear class above anyway.
Because they discontinued the only Jag with a decent interior when they stopped making the XJ?
