Ah, that makes sense.

Interesting, my 13.6 Litre Diesel with one big turbo (probably still smaller than yours mine you!) is averaging around 11 mpg at mixed weight, anything from 20t lightly loaded upto 44t at full weight, although I have had it down to 0.8 mpg average once on a short trip in the Peak District at full weight…
I Can’t make my mind up if trucks are relatively remarkably efficient for what they are given the aerodynamics of a small building , engine size & weights or car engine design still has a long way to go by comparison….
Nope, but you never can tell without getting underneath the car.
Latest fill up gave me 33.66MPG so I am getting about 10% better economy from Super compared to E10. Car had an oil change at a local trusted indy, I purchased the oil separately (£34 from Opie for 5L Petronas Syntium) and this was done for £89.20 including the filters and disposal so around £125 compared to the £198 BMW wanted. Other than that nothing else has gone wrong.
can't see a car park picture in any browser ...
what is the average speed you had for the 33mpg - your earlier post suggested ~ 200miles a week, which doesn't sound too stop start.
It’s not really. I have a pretty straight run through to work, 40mph single carriageway and it’s only 3 miles or so If I go direct, 4 if I drop off my laddie at his work, a mile in the other direction. Then I have a 45 mile round trip twice a week on motorway and dual carriageway With a little bit of town driving in the middle. I’ve been tracking the mileage since 11/07/21 when it was on 30,917 miles. Last fill up was 02/05/22 on 37,398 miles so likely around 9k miles a year.

How are you finding the car, now the honeymoon period is over?
Is still very enjoyable. Some good pace when needed and a nice snarl in Sport. Handling can be a bit fussy over some poor roads too but it has the M-Sport suspension so not surprising. I was considering a change a few months ago but now, I think, I will be keeping it as planned.How are you finding the car, now the honeymoon period is over?
