Tristan 338 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 Havn't been to Kaiwi Lakes for 5 years when for a school camp we walked 65kms in 3 days to there from somewhere else.. Haha - Pretty epic task for 13 year olds? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 hmmm I used $80 worth of 98 over 230ks ... pretty sh*t really. its _drinks_ petrol even with a few parps and being sedate for most of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbirgel 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 what do these engines do in a e36? surely just swaping it over wouldent make such a big difference. does it need a bit more tuning? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CamB 48 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 (edited) what do these engines do in a e36? surely just swaping it over wouldent make such a big difference. does it need a bit more tuning? Better than 10l/100km on the open road, about 15l/100km around town (as in, no motorway at all). Haven't taken it to the track yet, but can reasonably assume its crappy.

hybrid 1043 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 I removed and blanked off the emmissions pump. Not sure if that did anything. Its stock tuned .. I think its more to do with my driving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael. 2313 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 It's often nice just to go for a drive for the sake of it.......not to break the law or do anything reckless, but to drop what it maybe you're doing if it's a nice day and take a few hours driving out of the city for the sake of it. I've found the BMWs have been the first cars I've been able to do that in, even in a somewhat slow 325i it's still enjoyable (especially after driving half a dozen early dull Lexus' for the past 3 years *yawn*) A few weeks back I went out around to Thames on two different days, totaled about 500ks, it was really rather enjoyable. However the M50B25 sure does drink the fuel, not that I care of course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JiB 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2010 I headed to Hamilton and back not too long ago - decided to try use as little motorway as possible, ended up some some properly gnarly roads! Was doing 4-8krpm for a solid 2 hours, only used 11L/100km Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
