Don't buy a 98-00 model XJR, they had a recall on the engine.
Buy the E55... our cars are so great, that the XJR borrows the transmission from our cars. Can you say quality?

I understand that they both share the same gearbox, what i dont understand is that the gearbox seems to be unreliable in the Jag and it breaks down a lot due to the box not being able to handle all the torque which seems odd as the E55 produces more torque than the Jag

Jag feels and rides like a boat
easier to do burnouts in it though if that's your thing, but be ready to get hit hard with issues
