Hi all
I 'm pretty sure this has been discussed in many other forum topics etc but I can't see, to find it . What MPG can i expect to get out of my 525 sport around town and out on the road , I have got the OBC telling me what i'm currently doing and I just wondered what other people get out of theirs
Also alloys , once I have some money I'm thinking of changing the alloys over .. I really like these
Will they fit on the E34 ok >> what does anyone else reccomend
 Stu

I get 20-23 around town and 28-32 on a motorway run at around 70-90ish 
As for the wheels the ones in the picture you posted are for the 3 series unless they are replicas ?
Go for some 19" Chrome M-Parallel's or as Sleeper says some 19" ACS  or if you want something a bit more sensible some 18" M-Parallel's....I am starting to wish that i hadn't got rid of mine...I might have to get some in 19" 
Here is a picture of my car with some 18" M-Parallel's

All this talk of wheels is making me want to change again
What do you think these will look like on an E34 (in 19") ?

The wheels in your first picture are E46 M3, the ones in the picture above are E39 M5 replicas.
