I'm getting between 32 and 35mpg out of the Z4 now..... mix of town, country and motorways even ragging it doesn't see it drop much below 26-27, which is just on the cusp of acceptability with the fuel prices rising etc. We'll see what happens!

my 1er had dropped to low 40's, but after a long run last week, and warmer temperatures seems to have shot back up to high 40's...

glad I dont have the R32 anymore

CR/B Clubman Works would be awesome

Sunny here today (for this morning at least) - first time I've driven the Checkmate in the dry The newer runflats are much much better than the last set i used back in 2004! They're still crap in the wet though

Congrats CooperID on the JCW too

I saw a choc brown clubman the other day and thought it looked really good... started me thinking about changing the 1 series for one The JCW clubman would be great too... just a shame about the delay for the aero kit ...but maybe that ties in with your timescale anyway

Looking at March 09 unless I do sell the bike (which is a distinct possibility), but want to sort San's car out before I do anything ith mine....so a clubbie would be an option..

It would be a nice option... they have a nice retro look to them with the right colour scheme
