Being driving it for the past 2 weeks and every drive is exciting.Just wanted to know some statistics about this ride1: On a full tank, how much should the car average in terms of mileage for    a) city driving    b) highway driving    c) combination of both2: Noticed that the alloy rims get dirty easily from the brake pad residue... is that normal? Is it due to the special break pads that BMW use? Are there any alternatives that are safe to use?3: Also noticed that if any of the car door or boot is open and when we try to arm the alarm / lock the car, the alarm doesn't go off? Is that normal?4: According to my SA, all beemer alarm systems are by default on silent mode.. meaning it doesn't make noises such as siren or honking. Is that true?5: There's no indicator in the display screen in the centre of the 2 speed meter that shows if a door is not closed properly. Is my observation correct?Hope you can share with me your knowledge & wisdom on the topics above.Thanks! :top:</p></blockquote><p></p>
