What made you get rid of it?

No doubt the R exhaust note is what sold the car for me. It is thunderous and made me smile everytime. I have never had a car that got the attention and compliments the R inspired from others. Good driver too.
I got rid of it for several reasons:
- a bit too rough riding for daily commutes through what has become a construction nightmare here in my city
- my warranty was due to expire in Feb 2020. Nobody wants a 100k Jag out of warranty
- a few pricey service items were coming up
- leather headliner was separating from the roof and the sunshade slider broke ($5,000 fix according to dealer, $3500 from independent shop)
- leather dash started to peel (reportedly a $5k to $6k fix as well)
- I wanted something more comfortable yet smooth and fast. M340i xdrive fit the bill.
