I do have sat nav. 

I grumble when someone takes my parking right outside the office and I have to park in the general car park 30 meters away.

Right! I did my sums...

E39 M5 running costs
per month E36 328i   E36 M3   E39 M5  
Tax €86   €92   €112  
Insurance €86   €117   €166  
Loan (over 3yrs) €264   €380   €650  
Petrol (15.6k/pa) €210 @ E1.05/L & 29.5mpg €242 @ E1.05/L & 25.6mpg €326 @ E1.05/L & 19.0mpg
4 tyres in a year €43   €43   €73  
TOTAL €689   €874   €1,327  
             

I don't think I'd be getting my €453/month extra value out of the car to be honest; not when that €453 isn't ϊber-disposable cash for me at the moment. So I'll just have to slum it in my auld M3 for a while yet.

.. I know I was probably being ambitious, but I'd do anywhere between 5-10k p.a. with work which is all open road stuff. So I'd hope that'd bump things up!

I must post the Q in the M-forum out of curiosity and see what consumption people who don't drive a sub-1-kilometre commute @ 6,000rpm get!

Most yanks are getting 15-17 usually. it is hard to get more because you can't not drive the car hard. You will downshift just to hear the noise.
