Looks good. Will make a fine police car, I reckon. The 5 series is a fine car but why do our police use BMWs?
Well you have to assume if the public get 25-30% off, the police must be getting an even better deal.... Back on the XF, although the saloon has been out a little while now, I wouldn't say the roads are exactly flooded with them, subjectively at least.
I wonder how well its selling?

Or is demand extremely low?
If you look for a BMW 5 series petrol estate on autotrader there are 0 petrol variants available up to 1 year old, and even dropping back to 4 years old only yields 1 - and thats bearing in mind BMW offer 520i, 530i and 540i variants....
wait until people work out the car tax and the list prices , diesel isn't that atractive now unless you do big miles Or is demand extremely low?

Subjectively, I see loads of them every day. The problem might be that the XE and XF look so similar from a distance you're never sure which one it is. Only the rear light cluster and six-light glass area gives the XF away.Back on the XF, although the saloon has been out a little while now, I wouldn't say the roads are exactly flooded with them, subjectively at least.

Maybe the BMW/Audi/Benz rivals have all engine/body/trim permutations covered from launch (or close to it) which maybe disadvantages Jag a degree?

Modified to plod spec at factory not aftermarket, which is why bmw's are most common, 5 series is effectively a customised 530D, similar for the X5. Added to this is they can pull in to any bmw dealer for it to be fixed (alongside some forces having their own repair teams, but some dont have that anymore as it is more cost effective for them to use bmw).Volvos were bodged to do some elements that were not originally intended by Volvo.
Jags were on some forces but from what i heard were heavy on costs, certain parts of yorkshire have the odd Audi...
