Also, since when did an M owner care about fuel efficiency? (at least in the US, where I still laugh at how cheap fuel is compared to the UK every time I fill up!) I get through most of a tank of gas in a 20 minute session at the track - average mpg is about 2.3!
Range anxiety is sometimes a little more of a problem though... especially when driving through the desert. (though I find that 7th gear on the DCT is plenty high enough for cruising)

It’s not the owners that care it’s BMW to comply with fuel efficiency measures. Again look no further than the replacement of a bespoke NA 4l V8 revving to 8.5k rpm with a 3l FI i6. Did M enthusiasts want that? Did they want a numb EPS instead of a communicative HPS? No.
