Now anoter question for those who actually drove all pieces involved : how does a 740i compare to Audi A8/S8, and a Jag XJ8/XJR in all terms, but most of all in handling. I already got some input on S-class and a STS, but there still is room for your comments. After that S8 thing in "Ronin" I kinda got impressed . . .

I was impressed by the A8. Both the A8 and the Jag have sumptuous interiors, more so than the 740. I don't know about the S8 but the A8 is an impressive driver. I found it to be almost as engaging as the BMW. Resale is terrible and the thought of repairing an aluminum body car does not appeal to me. The Jag is shy on interior room compared to the others. I like the rear drive handling, much better than they used to be. Still a bit removed from the BMW which I believe offers the BEST handling in this class by a longshot.
