Started once I passed 10kish, feels a little quicker too tbh
8.5k on mine now, thought it was in my head that it feels sharper than when I 1st had it!

They defo do get sharper with a few miles, especially in this cold air8.5k on mine now, thought it was in my head that it feels sharper than when I 1st had it!
A mixture really @riano tbh but would be up and down to Belfast regularly enough so most tanks would see that trip in there. Even if I didn't and just stayed local down here in Fermanagh id still get 300 no problem.You do mainly motorway miles Chris? This is a pic from mine tonight and fuel light came on just after it turned past 200, I can't imagine getting 250 never mind 350

I do a 6 mile commute to work and back each day and my mpg is sitting at 20.3 - but if I do a longer jaunt with the wife and kid then I could average just over 30ish.
Takes me at least 10 miles to get to normal operating temp.I’d imagine the oil doesn’t get up to full temp for long on that 6 mile run, unless lots of traffic/congestion.

I'm exactly the same, had my first E36 M3 at 21 and that oil temp gauge taught me an awful lot. I prob let my car idle for 5 mins most days before I even consider moving lolYep, I remember in my first ever skyline with a oil gauge, Antrim to templepatrick before full temp. Always remember the old e36 oil gauge too, no fun until up to temp or bybyeee mr vanos lol.
The water temp gauge, one or 2 min max. Very misleading people think that’s it time to boogie in cars.

You're so right about the water temp, the amount of times I see people driving a car on shortly after start up kills me.
Although it's only 6 miles it takes about 15-20 minutes due to the morning bimblers, which means it's slow going.I’d imagine the oil doesn’t get up to full temp for long on that 6 mile run, unless lots of traffic/congestion.

No water temp, just oil temp and the AMG’s do bothSuppose on subject. Does these new performance cars let you view various temperatures or have they took a step back to just showing coolant temp ?
That's lovely!
Feck, I'm going to need that now at some stage.. .
Looks class, real tidy
Love this
Superb additions. Looking fantastic Mark
Would I have seen this in Ards about 4 o’clock this afternoon ?
