Ohhhh i am .... that sound is soooooo intoxicating......blipping it down from 4th to 2nd in a tunnel is

Just test drive one ....you will be hooked.........the sound , the instant throttle response and the SMG is awsome , did i mention the sound .


My mpg at the moment is probably not a true indication of what the V10 can achieve ( only had it 3 days ) , 13mpg , and that's because I'm still exploring the

performance characteristics of the engine and gearbox , i am also taking friends and family out time and time again to experience the engineering and technology of

this machine.

On a plus though ....my 535d being remapped and only covering very low miles each day was only returning between 19 to 23 mpg...

so blatting around with the V10 at 13 is pretty good really.
