Brave pill required?

Ok I have a 140i as our daily. I also have Fn2 as week day transport when the wife has the BM. Great motor in my opinion but I really fancy a Jag XF 5.0 supercharged. I do less than 4000 miles so fuel is no problem.
Just want some honest opinion.
Thanks and safe travels everyone.

Everyone needs a V8 in their life at some point. Do it quick before they become extinct!

Assuming you have done the usual checks go for it! Wonderful cars, and that noise

I would like to know about normal checks and common problems

I've been reading this recently and the 5 litre supercharged engine gets a few mentions. Worth a read.

There’s a dirt cheap one going on eBay was going to buy an part it . It only needs supercharger rebuild oily smoke so chances are failed seal . 70 k miles could be a bargain ?
