Even with 250 lb/ft in a tiny hatchback I push Helga past 4K rpm at least once a week - maybe thats why my stats are so bad ?

After all there is always a moron in a BMW 318i to plant, no ?
Italian tuning is a must- keeps everything ticking over- just needs a short burst

As for the 318i.. my iS has 6 more BHP than you- I'm the guy in the red one flashing his light and pointing to his watch as you do a right old 85 in the outside lane

Seriously though- thought the DPF regen should be at leat 1k? what does the handbook say?

I know that Pinoslaw says that his Hdi is almost as efficient at WOT as at part load (70-85%)
