... you do realize E10 is theoretically better for your engine as ethanol is burning way colder?! Theres a reason tuners pour E85 in their cars. The only issue is that it might mess with fuel lines and injectors on older cars, not on a 2023 BMW tho.
@funkymonkey2091
@funkymonkey2091 8 месяцев назад
@@TheGreener121 E10 is not better for your engine. It has a lower octane rating than E5 so it has less resistance to engine knock. E85 on the other hand has a higher octane rating than even E5. You also need to have your engine made for E85 which this M3 probably isn't. higher ethanol content doesn't automatically make it better for your car

Sam, I really think Moby (Tony) should be paying you for this experience. You took him out of his comfort zone that is London and brought him down here.

Why would you need 510hp on a daily?! The actual perfect daily is the M340i touring. As a daily, you won't notice the difference between the two, but the M340i is (much) cheaper, more comfortable and more fuel efficient than the M3

Father of two with active lifestyle, current M3 owner, RS6P, Speedster and a c300 estate(Wife’s). The RS6 is the pick of the bunch. It’s got plenty of room, it’s hilarious to drive, the weight is a non issue 99% of the time and the M3 is just as bad on fuel economy. I don’t know why you didn’t bond with it but have another kid and you will possibly find the m3 “tight” as they get older. My kids are teenagers and the RS6P is my ideal car. Mine is Goodwood Green as well with full AE interior.

RS6 is only a little longer and wider, this is a positive for most … and better on fuel… I don’t get anywhere near as low as 16 mpg as you did in the M3, the RS6 even when enjoying dynamic mode on twisties or open roads fully stretching its legs and then get well into the 30’s on a relaxed run… mixed is around 28 mpg…. The M3 is lucky to do 22 mpg mixed. They are almost the same weight as well. Basically they do the same job a little differently and that just gives you choice to meet your own needs, saying a the ‘m3 touring is the best car’ is a bit ‘in the time’ fan boy in my opinion

@gordonsimpson3235
@gordonsimpson3235 11 месяцев назад
Sam. I don't know which planet you just jumped off, but in no way does 16 mpg sound reasonable in a country with a 68 mph limit. Even allowing a little leeway - say you were doing 75-80 mph, I would expect an M3 to be capable of high twenties. It did sound as if it was revving its bo**ocks off though, so either you were holding it in a low gear for effect, or it has very low gearing. The small tank reminds me of criticism levelled at Mitsubishi Evo FQ's in the day.....went like hell but in the end mundane diesel 'taxi's' would pass you on a long drive due to the frequent stops for refills!

M340i Touring. 99% of the performance you need in the UK. Mine is doing 34mpg after 20,000 miles, but still goes like a train. Ive never found it lacking, but if you did its a remap away from around 460hp. Most importantly NO FACE EVEN A MOTHER COULDNT LOVE, and nigh on £40k cheaper.. The sheer number of M3 tourings for sale new or used with large discounts shows this isnt selling as well as BMW hoped.

Can’t believe you took an M3 onto the sand! No car would have got up the beach back to the road, let alone a low M3 with big wheels and low profile tyres. X drive or not! It’s much easier going downhill onto the beach. Getting back up is a completely different matter! Wasn’t the “buffoons” fault! You need ground clearance and decent tread tyres like the car that pulled you out! Such a British thing to do in Australia 😂😂😂
