When are you opting for a sport exhaust, Rudy, so you can hear that V8 do its stuff - needle be damned?

Have to say that MAYBE there is something more worth of telling to us than how much we are spending fuel in that very moment. We can/could look that from iDrive. If we really need something there... maybe power meter like Rols?

I thought the "goal" was to keep the needle to the left side as much as possible.
