Hi smokin

Have done about 11,000 miles in 11 weeks. No major problems yet. Fuel economy is about 30 mpg, and that's mostly motorway at 130ish mph

I've done just under 14,000 miles in 10 months with no mechanical issues whatsoever. My only issues related to the i-drive which were sorted with an upgrade to one of the version 11 releases. Not due an oil service for some considerable time yet if my memory of the obc readout is correct.

10.000 Kms in 2 months. Running just fine.
One more month and maybe more 5.000 kms.
The speedo service warning is showing more 18.000 kms until next service.
I can say that 80% of the driving is done at 160 Km/h at least.

i think i have all you guys beat by doing 15,000 miles in just over 6 months :'( . Yea thats pretty sickening but my drive to work is a killer...i would get another cheap car and use the e60 as more of an occassional car but don't want to pay insurance on two cars

in the winters i'm just going to ski down in the snow to work
