Greetings
I've been lurking here for some time and decided to go active since I now have first refusal on a C7 build due later this summer. I currently have a leased '15 Jaguar XKR, previous drive was a MB C63 AMG edition 507. A C7 seems the logical next step!
I'm planning on a Z51 w/A8. I've been reading up in the A8 issues and the dry sump oil change challenges and whatnot, hopefully going into this somewhat informed. There are several dealerships within an hour of me so I'll be talking to the service departments to get a feel for who understands, and cares about, the C7 the most.
Happy motoring...
