I know for an M this makes no sense. But would you mind sharing what your mileage has been looking like and what the mix is city to highway average speed etc.

Thanks in advance. great write up.

You should probably ask this question to someone who doesn't drive like I do.
On paper my Porsche 997 Turbo gets 30mpg.. ON PAPER..

Huh, I'm the voice of calm restraint on this thread - LOL.

770 miles @ 12mpg.. Mostly mellow, with an occasional blast through the gears (5K rpm or so) has been my style thus far.

I think if you keep it in 'D' and don't hammer it, city driving should yield in the mid-teens.

No highway info at this time from my end.

No wonder why you think the exhaust is to low.

Would one of you guys that have taken delivery comment on the black material that runs on top of the lower body lip under the doors where a running board would be on the E70. Is it durable enough to step on? Will it wear well over time? The reason I'm asking is I have two small boys that would step on this in order to get in and out. I have the running boards on my E70 now and they need it to get in and out. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance..
