My friend have a 02/03 735Li, he drive daily between Tai Po and Kwai Chung.
He said that it just only 1.65/km...

He was mainly riding on highway
fuel consumption on highway is much better

our cars are not lightweight, plus all those power for electronics... this def is not a lean machine la.
you are very wrong on that
our car is lighter than some 3er e90 and my is same as the stepwgn 1550kg which is the lightest on the market right now for a mid size saloon.
check out Audi and MB 2004 cars.

for highways it is very low I once had 1.5 for my 525i
for city its about 1.8 to 1.9 before mods.
if you have 19" it be 0.1 more

I meant our german car might weigh higher than jap car like camry or so.
Camry240 1470kg, 525i 1605kg.

btw u think e60 is a lean machine? may be with the N53 engine, but my old M54 didn't look like a fuel safer for me.

Just give you guys some review/update of the Redstuff

Performance:
Slightly better brake performance than OEM
Huge improvement over the Greenstuff

Noise:
Still squeak like hell, slightly quieter than day one thought
Squeak only happens in low speed when nearly stop, my Greenstuff used to squeak in the first 1000kms...so lets see

Dust:
Defintely more dust than Greenstuff, i didnt wash my car since the last meet 2 weeks ago (As pinguhk requested)
I will try to take picture tonight
