I did mention the fuel figures in your purchasing thread and it seems you are getting almost exactly the same as me around town. On the short journeys I am lucky if I average 17mpg normally its closer to 15mpg.
I wouldn't be surprised if you get far better consumption on a long run. I have taken it to work when I do my contract work in radlett a few times which is about 90 miles round trip and got far better figures on longer runs, close to 30mpg in fact

Nice looking car and well done for the hard work and monies spent on it.
One question, does it have Sat-Nav ?

the e39 is just as fast as the e60 to 100mph anyways, very little in them, its only over that you will notice the difference.

I'll give you that to 60mph, there isn't that much in it, but once the e60 is at speed and the revs are up, it is much much quicker than the e39.
It's over a second quicker to 100mph, which doesn't sound much, but a second is a long time when measuring speeds.

its quite amusing really what BMW have created.
Its a 200mph supercar with 4 doors. Awesome pieces of machinery.

its like a new lotus carlton eh? 
Looks like this could potentially be up for sale within a day or two.
Basically I've had a bust up with my mom and it seems things are going to get pretty akward here now, so probably best I get my own crib.

How bad of a fight can you get in with your mum that it results in you moving out?! That's a really negative reason to be moving out imo, you should probably work on fixing things. What was the fight about?
Is it a downside though? Yes I'd lose my car but I'd also gain independence. I could always buy another in the future.
If independence was something you genuinely wanted you would have come to the conclusion and put it above having a nice car on your own, not because of a fight with your mum forcing your hand. What was the fight about, why can it not be resolved?
It could be resolved but mom is a total **** when it comes to holding grudges.
What was it about?
