227 mi รท 2.93 hrs = 77.5 mph avg.

Triple figure MPH's? Wouldn't a steady 85 with a stop or two work? 160, even on an M road, seems a bit excessive, no?
Lol! The 160mph wasn't on this trip. You need to remember you are working out an average speed there... There were quite a few variable speed limits, 60MPH, slip roads and junctions, and a couple roundabouts with a lengthy 50mph dual carriageway. The last 6 miles were also B roads and A roads.
Lets not take this thread off topic though...
Where does the 2nd larger turbo kick in on the 35d?
