?

If you regularly do 50-60 miles a day, it'll average about 31, currently I'm doing about 20miles a day so it's sitting around 22-25.

The mpg isn't a problem, I wish the tank was bigger. It just means you fill up more often.

Yeah, the fuel tank definitely needed to be bigger that's for sure! I think that's about the only thing they didn't carry over from the M4 lol.

To be getting into the 30sMPG for a car with a 3.0 litre straight six is pretty damn good.

I have 2 long journeys planned Saturday and Sunday mainly motorway, so will give an idea what to expect.
Keep us posted on your trip next week.

My return trip home 🏡 was 260 miles and it returned 34 mpg - but that’s probably never be achieved again once run in and use of sport and sport + 🤗

Just been out for a blast!! Love this rear side profile.

Seems my initial excitement has been squashed! Still at 165 and sat in the worlds biggest car park at Veracruz in Mexico!
Been status 165 for 4 weeks now. How long do you think is acceptable before raising a complaint??

If you look up the k line shipping schedule you will see the next boat leaving for Europe is highway horizon leaving approx 5th October. See if your status changes around then.
There have been a lot of people in the same boat (no pun intended) waiting at the port.
What is your estimated delivery date?
Horizon highway is due Southampton end of October. Once at Southampton it's about a week to be delivered to dealership.

Ah very helpful, thanks! Estimated delivery is first week of November although my dealer keeps saying he hopes it will be earlier but I suspect that’s just to pacify me!
Cheers for the info

That does work out with that ship then mate. That was the ship that my car was on. Good luck and hope it does make it on. Be prepared to be obsessed with tracking it lol!! It was a bloody nightmare!!

mpcook1979 · 09-29-2023, 12:44 PM

My car has adopted the brake squeal after 190 miles. Nothing to serious, but a bit annoying and embarrassing.

Need to do some hard braking but difficult when you are supposed to be breaking the car in!!

new_owner · 09-29-2023, 01:49 PM

Did some driving which consisted of motorway and dual carriageway, results below. Fully brimmed tank before making the journey.

I think that's a fairly decent return for a car with only 327 miles at the moment and I kept the engine setting in efficient for all of it.

new_owner · 09-29-2023, 01:53 PM

Picture of Toronto Red with the sun shining on it... I love this colour on the car, even if I do say so myself

Ah no way! That's annoying.. Have you tried putting the brakes through some heavy braking heat cycles, maybe that will help?

I have a couple of long journeys this weekend, so will do some heavy braking where safe to do so. I know its not anything to worry about as lots of others have said the same.
The car is drawing a lot of attention though, don't think many people know what it is.
My son had his 1st go in it today and was a very happy boy.

I have Toronto Red on the way (and hope to receive it next week!)

Went to a dealer today and saw one in TR for the first time. They had two, one with M performance parts and one without - both in TR. They also had a third one in Zandervort blue as well. I’ll be very happy with TR form what I saw!!

Zandervort blue was much better than the pictures I had seen online, but still wouldn’t have been my first choice. It did look like a colour that would grow on me over time though.

The M performance parts didn’t make the car look any better in my opinion. I thought I would like some of them and dislike the others, but don’t think I will add any of them in the future having seen them up close

Making a complaint is fruitless nothing changes you will most certainly be on Oct ship. Mine and a few others spent 9 weeks at 160 and 5 weeks at 165 - just some of us are unlucky, whilst others move through relatively quickly.

Hey guys. We've got a G87 WhatsApp group going. Would be good to get a few members in it so we can arrange the first UK G87 M2 meet?

Let me know if you're interested!
