Hi John,
I cannot say the economy is particularly good on the V8. With a full tank, I can cover only 500kms, and fuel is very expensive here in Italy.
Apart from this, it is really a smooth car which can also be quite fast.
I have only a few remarks, and I would appreciate your comments on them.
The FM radio reception does not seem very good. My previous BMW was working a bit better.
I have asked to my dealer whether it is possible to control the lights with the start button. I am not sure I am using the right English words, but I would like to keep the car lights on (the Xenon ones) when I am driving, without having to remember to put them off when I park and stop the engine.
I thought it was a simple programming matter, but the dealer is saying it is not possible. Do you have any chance to ask to your local dealer?
Apart from this, do you know of any other website that could be interesting?
