There's also a link here previously posted with video of people from BMW HK owners' club driving a new M5 and pushing it real hard up the hills, are you one of them?

Hey Mic325

What's the fuel consumption now with your new wheels, how many litres/100km can you drive now.

[snapback]178017[/snapback]
Arrr...horrible. Averaging 14L/100km, and is around $1.75 per km. If it is pure city driving, it will be even worse. My typical tank will be 75% city driving and 25% highway driving (mainly to / from airport). A full tank can now travel around 420km.

Before the wheel change, it is around 12.5L/100km.

And the $/km price already includes a $0.80 discount per liter of gas.

But, damn it, it look so nice with the new wheel!
