Lately, now that I know how fuel-efficient the car is when driven gently, I've been using Comfort with the sport transmission settings, and Sport mode, more often. As I approach my steep bridge ramp in the afternoon, I've been flicking into Sport to let the car stretch its German legs, so to speak: up a short pitch, then around to the left and up a steeper pitch, then growling up as the ramp doubles back on itself and makes a long climb to join the bridge proper. By the time I'm at the top, the F30 is doing 50-55. If there's nobody jumping into my lane, I can just surge forward and do 60-65 almost until my exit.

That may not sound very exciting, but the bridge speed limit is 50, there's occasionally a cop sitting on the downstroke of the bridge looking for speeders, and the bridge road surface is not the smoothest. So I'm taking it relatively easy.

Still fun.
