My new motor

[stamford]

That's what I call a sensible purchase for the long term. It is surprising how nippy these new diesels are and how well equipped they are too. I'm sure you enjoy it.

Think they are around 184bhp and 60 in under 8 secs. Add to that the very good fuel economy and road tax and it blows most cars out of the water for the money.

Yer meant to be 184bhp, 280lb/ft and 0-60 in 7.5sec with an average mpg of 62.8. Least thats what the technical data says.

Very nice Jay.

Glad you are staying around.

Sounds a powerful beastie in Sports + mode. Bet it stays on there when you are on your own.

Very nice mate!

Sensible and still fun to drive. You will be turning off the traction control in no time!

I now what you mean about the new from ends... It looks nice but the last ones looked soooo nice. I prefer the rear end on yours though.

Cheers Dave, front end looks really nice when square on but when angled to the side it just looks slightly off on a saloon, kinda squashed. Imagine it would suit the Z4 more.

So had the new motor for just over 2 weeks and so far loving it!

Drove down to visit the parents in Salisbury over christmas, took the M4 one way and doing a fairly steady 80mph most of the way achieved 54mpg in eco-mode. On the way back decided to go via A-roads through bath and got 53mpg whilst in comfort! So doing well on the old fuel. Even on a very sprinted drive to work still got 25mpg out of it!! Was getting 17-18mpg out of the zed with a very light foot!!! So quids in fuel wise.

Its a very smooth drive and very responsive on the throttle, even when off the boost it soon picks up.

Only issue I can access emails and contacts addresses fine but cant seem to stream music from my phone over bluetooth, which I should be able to but probably a setting issue.

Good mpg, but its the smile on your face that I always go for.

Glad you are still enjoying it, have fun.
