So, erm, I've just bought this - a 2006 750i

Looks like the bonnet isn't latched on the passenger side.
Oh, good spot thanks, that's something for me to be aware of. It could well have been but I've had it open a couple of times since then.
It's definitely latched on both sides now.
Filled up yesterday and as I've hit 2,000 miles now, thought I'd post this.
The 32.2 was from filling up, driving 320 miles at motorway speeds with a light foot and then filling up again so I doubt I'll ever reach that figure again. My last two fill ups have been with Esso Super and the penultimate one was before a 200 mile drive and also includes around 80 miles driving around town. I generally get petrol when I'm down to about half a tank. After that first long drive I mentioned, I'm not really going light footed any more. I'm not booting it hard everywhere but I am enjoying the power that's there.
The front passenger window has stopped working. The first thing to check is the fuse but I can't get my man sized hands into the fuse box to check it so I'll pop in and see a friend who has small hands sometime to get him to pull it so I can see if it's that.

They are meant to be, they're made for driving rich people around. Nothing that a sawzall and a mig welder can't fix though
Pretty sure the original jack is still there along with the original first aid kit in the underside of the boot lid and the torch in the glove box as well.
Didn't see any extraction tool though.

That's almost the same mpg as my C30 ! lol
I don't know what a C30 is so I assume mine is either terribly good or terribly bad in comparison?

Mine is terribly bad...with 3 fewer cylinders.

About the same as I get from the S2000. I do have a heavy right foot though and S2000s aren't exactly known for being the most economical car in the world.
I seem to recall getting less than that out of my old 750i. Maybe it's all the B-roads I drive.

I get 30 mpg for a 15 year old focus, when I drove over to stoke from Oxford I was getting over 40 mpg, I get around 300 miles to a 55L tank, I managed over 400 miles because of long distance. It's more economical to drive it for longer without stopping what ever the car
Yeah, I think we all know that.
Five cylinders? What madness is this?

Audi used to do it too. I love your 750 Feek
