One Week On..

OK so I've now had the Z4 Coupe for just over a week and now learning to live with it and indeed love it.

Initial thoughts:

1. Incredible engine, sound and general drive;
2. Build quality better than I expected although doors don't match rest of the car for quality;
3. Stone chips are a pain in the @rse!!! :x
4. The bonnet is looooooooooong! :wink:
5. You get lots of admiring looks!

Probably the thing I've noticed most and have been most impressed with is the economy for what is a 3.0 sports car. I've done 400 miles so far which included motorway driving it home, A roads, B roads and a stop start 18 mile round trip commute. Average MPG? 35.3! Quite amazing. I was lucky to get mid 40s out of my A4 diesel and low 30s out of my 318i!

Big engine - small car, less load on the engine = more mpg.

I get slightly less than my 3 series (316) in the zed, but the drive is sooooo much better :D
 
I went from Leeds to Alnwick last year and cruised at 50-70mph on the motorway (cruise control) and got 45mpg average :D

So if the 3.0Si is better than the 3.0i, then I can certainly believe your mpg average!


Great engines. Such a shame we are seeing BMW move to turbo stuff for their newer cars.
