this marks the end of another day spent in the bavarian coupe. the tranny reacts rather sluggishly and swift progress is best accomplished in 'Ds' mode. The taut and well-controlled chassis never fails to remind you this car could do with so much more power at its disposal than the 2.5Litre. the venerable 6-cylinder revs cleanly and screams almost VTEC like towards its redline though.
even with the second stage DSC disabled (hold down the DSC button for 6 seconds) the car proves safe to drive enthusiastically. the wayward tendencies of the E36 3 series seem to have been bred out of the latest cars, but it didnt stop us from having a little bit of fun.
driving around like a hooligan over these few days (with the occasional highway trawl) returned a fuel consumption of about 7km/L. Two days was all it took to whittle the full tank down to a mere quarter.
