We are nothing but impressed with the 30d. It is tuned for more power and torque than any other 30d in the BMW range ATM. (190/560)
While I would also have liked the 35d, when the 30d already outperforms the X5 40d, I doubt they will be in a hurry to bring it here.

Thanks mate. I will most likely take you up on that offer at some point. After seeing the 30d in action I think I'm sold

A great day except some very rough pot hole reeded road,a disgrace to the shire council on one long long road.

I covered around 350km on the cruise but then had to drive to the other side of town when I got home which took me up to 400km. I usually get around 350km per tank though because I do more driving around town than on the highway.

I only filled up just before I got to Calamvale Hotel. The cruise was around 350km but I used the entire tank.

I did about 450kms on the day but I live on the northside so had further to travel...
PS: Speaking of "Not-BMWs", how about that 928S? He was a charming fella |
That's an excellent effort Angus, 495km is unheard of in my car. And you were putting your foot down quite a bit too!
I think our tunes have a big effect on the fuel consumption as well. I'm making around 30kw more than you and I did see redline a few times
As for Porsche (SHARKI) - I was lost for words. He had the worst driving etiquette I have seen in a long time. I occasionally encounter people trying to cut me off and cause speed up when I overtake them from
random drivers but never from someone on a cruise!

Angus summed it up pretty well down below. I'm not sure what his problem was. When I caught up to him I assumed he wasn't even part of our cruise because of the way he was driving and then I saw him at the pub.

I also had problems getting around him - he'd bunch up or swerve or indicate an overtake as soon as you got near him...

I still think he was doing it intentionally as nobody could drive that poorly. I'm pretty sure that's why he left the pub early.

I found it quite hard to put the foot down a lot of the time, being stuck behind traffic was a pain in the behind... I was in 5/6th gear for a lot of the time! I remember when we overtook someone when I was behind the leader in the E46 325 I hammered it but had to put on the brakes mid overtake as he was too slow...
We really had the fastest cars there but were in group 3 being held back by group 2 a lot of the time. Could have kept up in a Smart car!
PS- How nice was that black Brabus Merc on the M1 on the way home!
|
Yes it looked really nice. Looked pretty quick too.

Yes I saw that E46 give chase, it looked so slow in comparison!
I hope we didn't get done. I tried to call you but had no reception
I didn't see any flashes though
