BMW 8 series 2018 vs Jaguar F-Type 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 3.0 Diesel | 3.0 Petrol | |
| Diesel (BMW 8 series) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Jaguar F-Type) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||

| Ground clearance: | 121 mm (4.8 inches) | 100 mm (3.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, BMW 8 series can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 390'000 km | 420'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 7 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW X5, BMW 7 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X6, BMW 6 sērija | Installed on at least 4 other car models, including Jaguar XJ, Jaguar XF, Jaguar F-Pace, Jaguar XE | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW 8 series might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The BMW 8 series engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
