24.3 mpg, that's exactly what I get on a mix of city, surbuban and a bit of motorway. Well if you drive a 3ltr 6, you can't drive like a saint all the time. My last car was a 330ci auto and that did an overall 24.5 mpg.

I've just had Bird's B1 Sport Suspension fitted. Which consists of Bilstien shocks and springs to Kevin Bird's own spec. Its really transformed the handling. No more crashing and bouncing over speed bumps, skipping on uneven surfaces and crashing over man hole covers, or potholes which felt like craters. But the most amazing thing is the grip especially in the wet.

I've still got my Brdgestone RFT's but they will be replaced with non RFT's ASAP. Kevin said this will improve it even more.

Overall the car now feels like a much more mature sports car
