Default I never thought i would be this impressed!!!

Chopped my scoob in a few weeks back and got the M5. I was worried i'd miss the scoob too much, but this beast just makes me grin from ear to ear when driving it and just looking at it!!

Pictures aren't too hot, but i'd just given her a good xmas clean and needed to take some snaps!!!!

On the motorway no, it may even be slightly (1mpg at most) better. Round town its hard to say, the scoob didn't have a computer so i didn't work it out as often, but the M5 computer as average 15mpg for the last 2 tanks (purely town driving)

Nice! There's a lovely one sometimes parks in my street and i always have a glance or two when passing.
What year/mileage is it?

(oh, and take some more pics but change the white balance on your camera first!)
