Where the M3 did 18.. that would be it's range on the e battery
now.. if you drive down the price of your kw, which you can unlike petrol.. boom. And it flattens the demand so helps renewables like wind which are going at night. Potentially
Plus you can get free juice as discussed
Here is what yours looks like clean btw.. I nicked this off that FB group. Ahem​​
Thanks for reminding me what it could look like ...

My mpge has dropped with the last charge and now stands at £10.14 for 543 miles so I make that 282 mpge.

This past few weeks with no wind wholesale electricity prices have sky rocketed. I had to pay 11p/unit for my last charge 21kWh. Spoiling my average

Yesterday not one but two peak periods. The usual peak period 4-7pm at 35p/unit but also 11am-3pm at that rate.

Praying for wind me edit: not to mention hoping we get through the winter!

The 5 looks pretty good outside, build quality? wife will ignore it as she has the alternatives as she has no interest in an auto, why, who knows?

its not an auto, its a 1 speed

i never liked autos, the dct changed that but i bottled that as i was worried about BMWs ability to build a lasting unit. Maybe it was outsourced? But this makes driving so easy, the ultimate urban dodgem

dag fits

Not had a manual since my final S2000. Classic car

Fiat 'comfortmatic' is a string autochanger. So is the Smart.

The M3 DCT was excellent. Far better than their manual gearbox.

The 'e' is, as Jason says, just a single gear drive. Forward or backwards.

Last weekend I got a sniff of a deal and took the plunge
delivered Friday and straight into the S2s kennel for some carlack, zaino and p21s
I went for Electric Blue (those of a certain age will snigger) because she liked it and I was on the fence between the monochromes
It's ridiculous really, can never be an only car but I really like it

Electric Blue and a sort of U-LEZ number plate.

I think we should be told...
