fantastic.

Just back from a break to The Lakes and it never missed a beat. Great motorway mile muncher and a great handling car on the narrow twisties.

I wonder how BMW will improve it with the new model?

How is your fuel economy? Is this a 3 litre N53?

I get pretty similar on my E36 328i on a long run although it is a few bhp down on yours and in a slightly lighter car. The big sixes are reasonably frugal on a good motorway run

Agreed, but mine usually dosen't get to stretch its legs when only doing the nursery run around town.

Great tourers though.
