Here is the first of many reports from my recent trip.
Article continues here
DESTINATION: PRAGUE
Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a city of many names. The home of 1.3 million people, it is known as Zlaté m?sto, the Golden City, Stov??atá Praha, the City of a Hundred Spires, and Praha matka m?st, Prague ? Mother of Cities.
...
We started in Garching on the Bundesstraße 11 and headed over to the Autobahn A9, which we took for 37 km. The A9, known as the A3 until a new numbering plan was implemented in 1974, is one of the oldest Autobahnen in Germany, with sections of it dating back to 1936. After German reunification, the A9 was expanded from two to a minimum of three lanes in each direction plus an emergency lane. Traffic was light on the A9 and we were able to cruise at speeds ranging from 160 km/h to 220 km/h.

Loved the review J. Nice job. When I pick my new F-10 up in October, can I drop your name? Get some free ducats?

No offense, but when you title a post "Driving the new F10 - Complete Report" I expected, I don't know, A COMPLETE REPORT!
All you touch on is some useless info about Prague and a bunch of photo's of street signs. Oh and some of the least useful fuel economy info i've ever heard. I mean come on "One explanation for the poorer showing was the amount of stop-and-go traffic encountered on the drive from Munich to Prague, which was far more than on the previous trip" - Yup, I reckon that might affect the fuel economy. Awesome comparison.
Fail.
