I am getting double the mph and the road tax is only £200. It is quite fast but the power is delivered differently with it being the twin turbo diesel, if you know what I mean?

Having a twin turbo X6 diesel, I do know what you mean. Very quick off the line torque, but run out of revs earlier - but by that time am well past the speed limit, and with three gears still left!!

Lovely new motor, bet your well chuffed it will be nice for you with less visits to the pump & the jag is a highly rated car.

You will be riding on the wave of torque with your two turbos, enjoy.
