29.5k miles, 100% standard, 99 fuel, Michelin PE2s up front.

18 seconds or so, about right?

Can't stop driving it at the moment...love it.

Mate the acceleration off the start is insane!

 

[RVanner]

have you had it mapped or anything ?

Looks and sounds right to me mate, nice and healthy.

These launch so much better with TCS turned off.

Word of warning...avoid the kerbs...they're quite severe. I spent a day pounding them then had to shell out £500 this week for new lower front ball joints/hub assemblies as a result.

That sounds nice! Looks noticeably quicker too. Mileage?

It now has about 8000 km (about 5000 miles), and it has been remapped at 4000 miles.

It is actually a bit faster yes. A friend of mine has a new BMW 535d E60 and he's only faster above 135 miles/h. This thanks to the longer 6th gear. I'm guessing that the 197 wouldn't have this issue.

Another time I met a 535d F11 ( the new 313 hp model ) and same story. The owner looked surprised, as we did not reach above 120 miles/h. So I quite owned him :thumbup:
