I have a number of very favourite motornoters.. Harris for ever, Sutcliffe for being superb, Henry for being just excellent, and.. Mat for being the best fun in this business that I am aware of. These 4 would make an EPIC team for a world class serious Top Gear programme.. if only. And.. how really nice to see Mat travelling with Henry.. who'da thought that.? Charming [sincerely..

I learned to ski in Megeve in 1984. A nice French girl and her cousin taught me. Regarding the train home, you should have pulled the auto mirrors in; that is what they are for!
Top tip for French motorway fuel stops - don't use service stations, they are so expensive for fuel. When you need to get fuel pile off the motorway into a local town and you will always find a supermarket, Carrefour, Intermarche etc., with a fuel station. These places are up to 20% cheaper than motorway fuel and it won't take you far off the motorway into a decent town to find one. Also most have a cafe and serve good coffee and food.
If you didn't launch it and try to find the differences with the 840d, I'm pretty sure it would've averaged over 30mpg. Still,imperial sucks, metric (l/100km) is superior
@@mnoovurvi apologies for that. But at the same time another perfect reason for switching to the metric system - you can't even get your goddamn imperial nonsense even.
Well for such long trips DIESEL is the ultimate choice. Because of torque you can save a lot of cash and is more economic than any electric or hybrid because there is no free work to the electric scam. Anyway V8 petrol has a lot HP and the best sound and comfort!! Great car Mr!! One of the best cars especially BMW the prettiest brand in my opinion 😉

Lesson nr.1. The avrg. fuel consumption must be calculated because the one in the car lies. You can add another 0,5L/100Km to the value on most cars, so a more likely value for this car is 39MPG. Still good for the engine and performance.

OK. For everyone that wondering:
840d = 5.3 l/100km
M850i = 8.6 l/100km
I think he is using british MPG, so this is not correct.
840d = ~6.4 l/100km
M850i = ~10.4 l/100km
he trashed the M850i hence high mileage
Wtf my 1.8 litre merc consumes 10,5 L
10.4 is still very impressive for a V8. My 2017 Acura MDX never got close to that!

For my european and international metric friends:
43,9 mpg = 5,4l/100km
27,3 mpg = 8,6l/100km
it's UK imperial mpg, so it is 6.4l/100 for the diesel and 10.3l/100 for the petrol.
