Thanks for posting that Perry. :thumbsup:

Given where MC prices are now I've vaguely wondered about an upgrade to an MR with a hardtop, but maybe an Alpina would be a better plan? :lol:

It doesn't look like #192 Mike is on here - which is a shame. :(

No, you can get 30+ mpg in normal usage and around 35 mpg on a longer motorway run - Steve's referring to oil consumption, as Alpina say that anything up to 1L per 1000 miles should be considered normal for the B3S engine, but, as they're handbuilt, this does vary a fair bit from engine to engine and mine uses a lot less.

:rofl: I've got refinery handy just incase!
No issues with oil use but my driving style seems to keep the mpg pretty low! :lol:
