TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW M3 is a track-ready sports sedan with an unblemished pedigree that announces to the world: "Ask me what DTM means."

With the 2017 XE, Jaguar hopes it's built a better 3-Series. In many ways, it has.

TCC Likes

Superlative performance
Four (relatively) useful seats
Available carbon ceramic brakes are great...

Styling could be perfect for this niche
Best-foot-forward supercharged V-6
Lightweight road feel

TCC Dislikes

...but very expensive
Bad packaging for a simple rearview camera
Everything costs more, unless you like white and black cloth

Exterior styling isn't head-turning
Diesel is great; concept is now tarnished
Starting over on resale value
