Rather interesting test on the E34 for the past week

Tiger, MB does that to catch all the oil thats leaking and keep it off of the driveway...

Only semi joking, i've had more than one customers car where i pulled that belly pan off and had to dodge the pool of oil that spilled out.. That lip around the pan holds a quart or 2 on the leakers.

My MB E300 diesel got a full belly fairing all the way back to middle of the car. Comes off in two pieces.

our drag cooefficient is .31 according to bently, which is the same as a porsche 997

another method for keeping track of consumption is l/h on the OBC, is you press 1000 and 10 at the same time, then enter test 7 SR (press 1 7 times) it will display your fuel flow in liters per hour. coupled with test 9, which shows your fuel capacity in liters, and your speed, you can spend away several miles with mental calculations
