my_e36 43 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 (edited) Gotta love the Italians! (Closely followed by the Brits) Dominating more than half the list there... and congrats on Lambo, Bentley and Bugatti, everything that they make are on the list! haha!! Having said that, Bugatti only make 1 model of car. Considering it does over 400kph with 16 cyclinders and 4 turbos, that's not too bad. Where's all the diesel? Many small Euro diesel easily do 40+mpg Silly American self-rightous thinking. Edited December 27, 2007 by my_e36 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftit 2078 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 And I presume the G55 AMG is meant to be a E55 AMG. And these figures surprised my Dad who drives one. As he gets alot more out of it and lives in the city. Mind you, if you take it to the track it can empty a tank in like 18mins. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 There is such as thing as a G55, it is a big 4wd similar to a land cruiser. I've seen quite a few around auckland recently. I wonder what the McLaren F1 would get, it is very light at about 1100kg, but those S70 engines aren't known for fuel efficiency! Still the best engine BMW have ever made.

Driftit 2078 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I thought the big 4wd was called a ML55 AMG. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThreeOneEight 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 (edited) No, there are three kinds! Very confusing. The ML class is the X5 sized model, the GL class the new-looking but bigger than ML sized SUV, and the Gelandewagen (or simply, G-class), which is the old- school boxy looking one shown above. Someone down my street has a new GL55 and it is absolutely massive, even parked next to the behemoth Audi Q7. Normal cars may be getting smaller, but SUVs are not!

bmw.maniac 1 Report post Posted January 7, 2008 I saw the most incredible G500 Cabriolet in Pauanui the other day, and I think I may have seen it in Ponsonby too. Apparantly (the Cabriolets) are hand-built in a small factory in Austria, which only produce about 20 a year! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
