Hi

Has anyone got any real world information on fuel consumption for the 5.0 supercharged. I'm picking one up at the start of September and would like to have an idea of what I'll be getting around town. I'm expecting low teens/low double digits.

Also, I've ordered mine from Lookers Battersea, who I've been quite impressed with so far but I guess this is the honeymoon period. I see Lookers Park Royal get quite good reviews but was wondering if this was site specific or if Lookers in general are a reliable dealer/service centre.

Hi and welcome
i can't comment on Lookers Battersea, however Lookers Park Royal have great customer feedback on here and james from (LPR) frequently comments on various subjects and is very much involved in the site and is good to have around Regards mpg around town, others have reported single figures A bit late to worry about it now if you've already ordered. Post up some pics when it arrives.

Hi zango. Seen mine go as low as 13mpg around town but that's in a very small town. Long journeys can go up to 23mpg but that's only on the on board computer. Never sat down and worked the figures out. If your worried about mpg than the 5.0 supercharged is not for you. But the feel good factor can not be bought. It always puts a smile on my face when I drive it cause it's AMAZING! Sod the mpg you'll love it. Good luck.  MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

Thanks for the replies chaps. I've already paid the deposit and am due to collect it on the 3rd of September. I'm getting about 12mpg from my current car and just wanted to know if I'd be in the same region or not. I'm starting to feel like a kid on christmas eve. If I can work out the damned technology I'll try to stick up pictures when I get it

zango1, re your comment about all 'Lookers' being the same........no they're not, but hopefully Battersea will be good for you

Enjoy the new car.  ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i
MERCEDES GL350 - Metallic Navy Blue w/Grey interior

GOING: BMW F31 335D MSport+ xDrive Touring

GONE: BMW F10 520D MSport - Carbon Black
GONE:MY12 RRS SDV6 HSE Sumatra/Ivory/Grand Black Privacy glass

I'm like an excited kid as I pick the car up tomorrow. This isn't strictly related to the RRS (other than posting some pics of it) but can any member recommend a fairly cheap/decent/easy to use camera.

when spanked it will be about 8mpg

when driven with gusto about 12mpg

driven politely about 19mpg

when rolling about 23mpg
