had a drive to happy valley from kln city today. this okada projects plasma thing is quite amazing. The only reason I can think of to the big difference is that I might have some ignition coil that were not working perfectly.
pick up much faster, engine sound lower... but gas mileage was worse cos I was step on the gas like there's no tomorrow. wut da hell.

a little gas is ok now and then for some fun
so car goes faster but it takes even longer to get to the destination.

Guys, just back from China for the Audi driving experience 09. What a great event! BMW HK should do something like this!
I had the choice to drive the beasts like R8 and RS6 on track, and the instructors were power slidiing the 4 wheels drive RS6 for us
RS6 is awesome! With 580 bhp and it will beat anything on HK road on straight (But its quite heavy tho)
Also driven the A6 3.0 super charged 293bhp model, much faster than my 3.0 E60 on straight line but handling was poor and no feel of the road at all.
I will post some pics later

yes, gonna take a longer route to work tomorrow so the car can flex it's muscle a bit.
so car goes faster but it takes even longer to get to the destination.

Maybe you had the Gruppe M installed and that makes the ignition coils works more effectively
