We had about 4" of snow and a new 2012 demo for the day Laughing what a day couldn't of timed it better Thumbs Up you really need a serious amount of snow or sheet ice to get into difficulty with these motors.

Superb timing Ady Thumbs Up I'm surprised they didn't try and wriggle out of letting you have it ? Rolling with laughter

They did say if the weather gets bad then return early but that part of the conversation fell on deaf ears so i headed for the dales Laughing Yes i liked it a lot, i did find it at times searching for the right gear but that might of been down to my driving style at the time (steady) Laughing its got plenty of grunt i averaged 26.4 mpg over 110 miles i must admit at one point it was down to 21.5 mpg and another time it was up at 30.2 mpg so it was a mix of all types of road which i think isn't too bad overall. Thumbs Up

Glad it was a good one, 110 miles certainly is a good stretch of the legs. 'Bye bye dealer, I'm off to the dales' made me Laughing

The mpg you got is a fair representation, apply a heavy right foot and it soon drops down, but allow it to get into 6th, 7th and even 8th and you notice it increase quite considerably. Thumbs Up I've not been disappointed with the power yet and for such a big/heavy car its got plenty of poke to get past slower cars on the back lanes Wink ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
