  1. I'm considering selling , with Goldeneye theme plate valued 1900 . 35k miles, original wheels also , beautiful example , but want over 11k .
  2. I guess it was because hadn't used the car in months and not used to seeing a needle drop like that. Doesn't worry me now , had forgotten how thirsty they are ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿบbit like myself later......
  3. Well, if I'm keeping it I'm looking into perhaps a German supercharger kit ๐Ÿ˜
  4. It will drop to 17mpg extra urban if in sport mode though , and I'm using the throttle a bit pulling from lights on the highways etc. So , being a 3.0 it's prob correct
  5. I suppose at 24mpg in urban I will see the guage dropping alarmingly. After all 30 quid or so is only 60 odd miles , worse when engine cold
  6. Auto / semi auto with sport mode. You mean 60 mph on motorway.... Mine prob be good on motorway , I guess I'm not using it enough
  7. I'm on the wrong forum. Sorry . This one hasn't anyone on it apparantly. Oops never mind time to go to a busy one
  8. Pics taken the day it drank fuel quicker than I drink a beer! Have owned it over ten yrs and in that time only done 3k , bought it with 32k on clock. GoldenEye theme numberplate too valued at 2k .....I have considered selling this car but unless got a VERY good offer it stays a garage queen with occasional drive out
  9. Few weeks ago I set off in my z3 , guage was on at least three quarters full. About 30 miles later it was going towards the red , hadn't brought wallet with me so slowly headed home. I could see the guage dropping ! I was in sport mode , driving urban and A roads , switched to normal mode to get home. No fuel leaks , reset mpg monitor and driving carefully was getting 24mpg semi urban. The way it drinks fuel it seems like a 4.2 Jag! Is this normal, it's done 35k miles and emissions are perfect . Or is it because I'm used to a 30d X5 for normal use that sips fuel by comparison.
  10. The tyres were also highlighted as advisory last mot
  11. Have a set in great condition for sale . Tyres legal tread Pilot sports but micro cracks on tread , the wheels have no marks or damage . Have heard they are desirable , I would keep but I prefer my M3 style ones now. Im Midlands UK, just putting it out there in case any interest. Need to find what they worth , could put pics on soon
