Out of curiosity, what kind of MPG did you get with the Navigator?

nynd 04-02-2008 03:06 PM
Not good....VERY lousy! I think (we're in canada) it's like 18 - 20Liters/100km .. funny thing was that going to the 22"s from stock 18"s actually improved it... not sure if it was due to the momentum of a heavier wheel.

PS - which explains why it has a 110 liter tank.... gas station on wheels! But you don't purchase that for mileage... its usually a trade off (I actually downsized from a 5.4L to a 4.8)...

I hear you. This is my Supercharged 6.0 with 24's, Full 3 1/2" stainless exhaust.

Don't you just love these BIG american muscle machines?

Supercharged? That bad boy must move?

But I take it that the X can still take it in a straight light?

The oem 20 is not all show. It does GO and handle exceptional WELL with the dunlop summer tires. NOT Winter!!! It is for people that really want their BMW to Performance at higher level. If you need to drive it in the winter than get a set of wheels and winter tires.

summer tires for the summer, winter tires for the winter = Ultimate Driving machine

Until BMW makes some changes to the e70 between non-sport, sport the 20s are the way to go. With the e53 you could definitely tell a distinction between the 3.0, 4.4 non-sport and sport. But with the current e70 they all look the same.
