The 30d B57 diesel lump will go down (in my books) as one of the greatest combustion engines of all time, smooth, quiet, enough torque to make anything feel fast and of course, VERY efficient!

    One of the best engines ever made in my opinion, powerful, economical and you can find the 3 Liter Diesel almost in every BMW.
  • This should have been so dull to watch, but it wasn't. It was awesome. Well done guys.
  • @jonnyboy4340
    BMW straight 6 diesels are awesome blend of performance and economy. Well done, great video as always Joe.
  • There is another efficiency-shaving factor you probably underestimated: Spanish road surfaces. Spanish motorway pavement is very coarse compared to most other European countries and, in my experience, this alone cuts about 10% off your normal gas-mileage. Nice video!
  • @PetrolPed
    Mate that was just brilliant. So well put together. Interested to know what you decision process was between Speed Limiter and Cruise Control ? Also, did you have the AC on ?
  • @lesbrook
    My observation, having done this trip a few times: You may have been better leaving the first evening rather than waiting til early morning. I never sleep well the night before a big trip anyway so leaving home at 9pm instead of 5am makes sense. Also means the end of the journey when you are beginning to tire is in daylight and your body clock isn't demanding sleep quite so urgently.
  • A pleasant change to see focus on driving style and range efficiency, especially with current fuel prices the way they are. 👍🏻👏🏻❤️
  • @AjG007
    And that folks is why diesel remains King.
  • @alancobbin
    2 years on and had to come back for a 2nd watch,this car still blows my mind ,cheers guys 👍💪😉
  • @slowhandplexi
    You are on a complete different league, Joe. Thank you both for an impressive footage
  • @MatiKosa
    I absolutely love trip videos, especially when they have some sort of "goal", this one was excellent and proved that 30d was and it one of the best engines ever made in the history.
  • My first trip with a BMW it was a 1000 kms trip from the north to the south of Italy. The BMW was a f31 320d and I was amazed by the fuel consumption the sportiness but also the comfort and I was also with people that have a special place in my heart. It was my first trip in a BMW and since this experience I fell in love with the brand and promised myself that one day I will also own my personal BMW, and share it with the people I love the most
  • The price of fuel is just disgusting!! Great vid by the way 👍🏻😀
  • @antonoat
    Fantastic effort guys, you did it and the car delivered amazing economy! Have to say the car looks amazingly stylish too, a very wise purchase Joe.
  • @billwalsh3842
    Well done Joe / Patrick. I don't know what it is about a range test but it really intrigues me. Very entertaining. What a machine! Keep up the great work.
