Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 After an E39 Touring, I am aware of what is on TradeMe, just wondering if there are any out there a bit under the radar/ not advertised maybe. Prefer the M54B30, but I suppose a smaller 6 cylinder vehicle would do if it was manual Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aja540i 1906 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 Its the most sensible car ive ever owned! Plenty of room for kids, safety up the wazoo, good for towing, better economy than a v10 M5! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how he drives, and his economy isn't as much worse than our manual 525i as you might expect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Young Thrash Driver 1020 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 I was referring to the V10. I would assume that with our (mostly rural, open road) driving, the V8 would return something like 10L/100km. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aja540i 1906 Report post Posted December 16, 2015 I do about a 50:50 mix of motorway and city driving and it sits around 13-14, but i like the noise it makes and i dont mind spending a bit of money to hear it! The V10 is a whole other story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The V10 is a whole other story. Dude... a motorbike hit you, because he ASSUMED he was in front of you when he pulled into your lane..., but he was actually beside your front wheel The V10 sounds fantasmic... and it charges accordingly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
