Funny thing, the G82 fuel economy is even better than the F82 despite having about 80 more horsepower.

I still have a V8 M3, and I can literally watch the needle move during aggressive driving.

So yeah, you've simply forgotten... The S58 in the G8X is wayyyyy more efficient, even when I'm driving like a bat out of hell.
I remember the needle moving on my e93. Could get it confused with the oil temp. I think my lifetime average was 15.6. I’m getting 17.5 on my manual G80, which is about the same as our f80 manual comp. The ZF8 comp x I got about 18.
