So the SOTP dyno says better then ?

I'll be interested to hear how much of an impact it has on fuel economy.

Keeps us all updated please

In all honesty haven't ridden yet,and when it goes to the Dyno it'll minus it's body work,but when i fired it up the needle on the rev counter nigh on jumped of the clock,so if it doesn't produce a jot of extra hp the pick up looks like it will quick,but who knows???

If it's crap,i'll soon tell ya!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrgggggggg

Fuel consumption is a subject best procreated on other BMW sites.
We will of course let you know hp/torque figures, maybe even a dyno chart of some description to compare and contrast with Nigels posted last year.

Steady chaps....

Not really bothered about it, but it's always thrown in as a side benefit isn't it, so it'll be interesting to see if it's true or just shineola ! Let's face it, I suspect that few of us bought the S for outright fuel economy, though it is pretty good.

Thats why they had those extended fuel tanks made.I,m calling up the eco warrior brigade to complain.Its people like them who we have to blame for our strange weather patterns and the increase in taxes on booze.
I say ban em.........
