. . space shuttle!!

9,5 liters/100 km. . sometimes 12 in heavy traffic. . meaning 1 hour and a 1/2 ride at about only 6 miles per hour!

touch and feel of a space craft (as I imagine it) . .smooth, just about enough engine rumble in my ears. .me in that coocon cockpit, friend size (right seat) of an MMA fighter (260 pounds) and never brushed elbows . . all gear sounds cushioned. . .i had a weird feel that BMW got inspired from the Hummer with respect to that center console, front and back. .

gear knob surprisingly smooth when shifting straight over neutral via reverse, drive. . .don't mind anymore it looks too futuristic for the classic dash design.

Yes, suspension a bit too tough over potholes, did some tiny tests swerving abruptly at 90 degs. and love that tightening of suspension on the side that gets wasted on centrifugal force ..my neurons get splashed by inertia on the side window but the tank doesn't recline sideways. Since I am in the nursing faze ogf my Leopard 2 tank . . .I just can say that the 35D rocks!

'Oh come on, man, you get almost the same mileage for a beast about a ton heavier than your Mazda 6. and that in urban trafic?!?!? 162 HP more!?! "Doh, it seems I mised some stuff lately" . .
