Meet 'FLY'

[AHUX]

Happy days, looks fantastic - there aren't many cars that can carry the family and the dog in comfort with 500bhp under the bonnet.

Welcome to the space grey E61 M5 club!

Was that photo taken on the way to or from the fuel station?

Ha ha it's thirsty but who cares.

In fact on the way to work this morning I got 10mpg and I actually smiled!

I managed to do 8 laps of the Ring and had 2 ltrs of fuel left in the tank when I brimmed it back at ED's Tankstelle near the exit. I make that 43 ltrs/100km = 6.56mpg. Don't know if you know that already, but the OBC is programmed not to read below 7.1mpg

Ah those were the days...

[AW10]

7.1 mpg is roughly 40 litres per 100km - wonder what the significance of that figure is? Theoretical max duty cycle of the injectors?!

Looks great!

I know mine cost me circa 50p a mile when i owned it (2 years of emptying bank!). Super-juice was near £1.50 at the time.
