440i collected
Wow what an engine!
Traffic on the M6 was an absolute disaster and it took me 13 hours instead of 8 so I missed my ferry back to Belfast. So did a bit of slow driving from around Penrith heading for SW Scotland. Economy is stellar. Brim to brim on a full tank of 450 miles was 35 mpg but over 40 on a 100 mile bit was good too!  IMG_2980 by DougMcLaren, on Flickr IMG_2979 by DougMcLaren, on Flickr |

Congrats and looks great, happy driving
 Yes M6 was mental yesterday, as was the Toll road, I even had to queue to get to my lane on the Toll road, even then had to drive around the odd car blocking my lane. |

Congratulations Doug. Little more splendid in the car world than a BMW petrol 6pot.

The colour is individual Audi Lave Grey.. don't know how it got onto this BMW!! I must say it's growing on me though it's not very photogenic. Economy is amazing even with only 450 miles on the clock!

Very nice combo - if only my OCD could cope with dark paint again - 4 years with a black sapphire BMW has scarred me for life...

 IMG_2984 by DougMcLaren, on FlickrThere is really quite a large metallic flake which pops in the sunlight. It make mineral grey a bit drab looking  IMG_2985 by DougMcLaren, on Flickr |

Nice. Impressive mpg for sure, but what you have got from it's first 450 miles means you are driving it like a 1.0 fiesta. Once warned up, bang it in sport mode and stamp on the loud pedal. It just goes and goes, right into the 7000rpm limiter, howling all the way. Glorious. You can kiss good bye to ever seeing 40+mpg but who cares when it sounds this good and goes this well.
