Re: Your fleet running reports
Happened to me earlier in the year, just nowhere near as bad as that. It's so annoying, so hopefully the culprit gets done for it.
Never found out who hit my car, the CCTV didn't cover where I'd parked, and the feed to the server was broken apparently...
What made it worse for me, is it was done at work, and I work at an insurance company... Fuckers!

Re: Your fleet running reports
All that would piss me off worse than the actual hit and run.

Yeah, fucked me right off when security told me that! Still not really over it now, and it happened back in February.NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:37 amAll that would piss me off worse than the actual hit and run.
Re: Your fleet running reports
Weekend visit to silverstone for the Walter Hays Trophy with the race team. Was deliberating between taking the M240i or the 3 Series. decided to go with the M240i despite it probably going to use a load of fuel..Wait What..!

Re: Your fleet running reports
That is genuinely absurd given the performance. You mentioned something about it doing fancy pants gearbox stuff to keep the fuel use low in eco mode?
Re: Your fleet running reports
Nothing that fancy pants. It just coasts in neutral. So if you’re going down hill and lift off the engine just idles. If it senses the speed going above the limiter it will re-engage the gear for engine braking.
Re: Your fleet running reports
Ah right. Surprised it makes that much difference!
Re: Your fleet running reports
Ha, yeah, I'm doing about double that at those speeds. Distinct lack of an overdrive on the pre-facelift E46s

Re: Your fleet running reports
That’s quite something; with decent average speed too!
What is it 340+ bhp or something perhaps more? It’s 3L twin-turbo isn’t it?
What mpg did your Golf R get on a long cruise?
Re: Your fleet running reports
Family member has a RR Sport SVR which averaged 38 mpg from Kent to Devon and back 2 weeks ago. Big engines don’t drink much when on the move.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Your fleet running reports
340 quoted as standard but they usually dyno a bit higher. Best i saw in the golf was high 30's although everytime i took it a long run it was usually filled with luggage and 4 up. I was flying solo with a flight case at the weekend.
ETA - 3.0 Single Turbo. The M2 gets the twin turbo.
Re: Your fleet running reports
^^^^^^ arrr yes I think McSwede’s one dyno’d and got 360-370bhp or something.
Re: Your fleet running reports
When I played fuel station roulette in my GT3 the other week, the onboard computer showed a theoretical range of 480+ miles, so almost 35mpg.
In reality, IIRC under my ownership I got 19mpg. (8900 miles)
Re: Your fleet running reports
My golf rs have never seen north of 38mpg.
Re: Your fleet running reports
I wish. without the photos I'd have been screaming "Bollocks!!"
The most I've seen on a run IIRC is about 42mpg coming up to Scotland (so all up hill) and that was driving like a granny. Those figures are astonishing really.
I'm too ill disciplined TBH. As soon as traffic clears or roads are quiet I just can't resist stamping on it.
To answer another question, mine ran 360.1hp & 405.6592ft-lb as standard with a PPF.
Twin scroll turbo FWIW
