I don't know why, but I watched the whole video. I'm in awe and disgust at the same time. At least the rest of this car (white Accord I mean) looks clean.
I wonder if part of my problem with the lambo Jag monstrosity above it the sheer amount of compound in the panel gaps. I've never seen it that bad and I used to get all of my cars repainted for show.
Not sure about other Jags (X-types, etc.), but my friend has owned his new since 2001, Jaguar S-Type 4.0, drove it through highschool, only has like 80,000, babies it, and I swear to god, it's the biggest pile of shit, plastic pieces fall off, side markers fall off, car overheated back in like 2005 with us like at school and couldn't go home, no offense to anyone, and not saying they're all like that but, omg it's a pile. I guess I wanted to say this because of that rant you made about bmw.
I don't recall saying bmws were of questionable quality. x and s types are known to have crap transmissions and awd systems. they use the same components (jatco) as vw, but the rear bias makes them even weaker. 2004 and newer received some updates and are supposedly better. I guess I'll find out.
My first JDM project after decades of European cars!
2003.5 S-Types got the better trannies but there are still issues. Mine has the lurch which is kinda annoying.
I've had both BMW (01 540i/6) and now a Jag (03 STR) and there are pros and cons to both.
The 4.0s sucked major, as did the 5 speed autobox. The 4.2 is a much better motor along with the 6speed autobox. Of course the best is when you get it supercharged, but I am a bit bias.
