Just got a delivery date, 1st October, next Tuesday. Excited ! A lot of !Removed! paperwork involved in buying a new car, easier to get a mortgage !

Hello, Does anyone know of any company's that run airstrip VMAX days, or know of any dates / venues of any upcoming events ? Just the simple drag strip days, not actual trackdays. Cheers

Cheers guys for your warm welcomes. August now, only 7 weeks to go....arrrgh ! This is how sad I am, I started checking all the local garages to see which one did the best Super Unleaded, BP, Shell, Total, Elf. Think it has to be Shell Nitro, think I'll pop in and get a Shell card, might get a tenner back every couple of months !

Yes it was 170bhp, good memory. I think we get lied to somewhat when manufacturers release economy figures. They must be performed by a saint on a rolling road or something just as absurd. If I average 17-18mpg I'll be pretty happy, I don't do more than 8k a year so shouldn't bee too bad, wifeys got an A6 tdi for chore duties

35mpg from a 2.5 litre six cylinder is very good. I used to have an E90 320si, 2.0 litre engine you'd thought it would be in the mid 30's at least. Over 3 years of ownership I averaged 22mpg ! Something to do with the handbuilt engine, even if I drove it sensibly and tried to get high mpg on the motorway it would rarely break 30. I'm not holding my breath for 28mpg but I'll give it a damn good go. I'll let you know how it goes, feels like ages away yet though :(

yeah, might use it as an opportunity to get the cars 28.8MPG combined fuel economy, coz it ain't gonna ever get anywhere near that again :(

Cheers mate, The worst thing will be the 1200 mile run in, can't go above 5k rpm, no wide open throttle and apparently you don't get full power. Once you take it back to BMW for the service, they update the software and give you the full beans....!Removed! technology eh ?! I've already told the wife we're going to Cornwall for the weekend as soon as I get it, need to get to 1200 miles asap :-)

Hi, Just signed up, down south in Bucks. Have an F10 M5 on order, Singapore Grey on 19's. Got to wait until end of September though, gonna feel like ages..! Had 4 x M3's in the past, including 2 x CSL's. I'm growing up with a couple of kids now :-)
