2. Are the fenders wider than the normal 5?

3. What type of real world gas mileage are you getting?

Thanks in advance!
Having owned the 2011 550i M Sport, and have the new LCI M5 on order for October.
I can say:
1/ YES it is stiffer
2/ Yes It is slightly wider
3/ On my 4 day test drive here in the UK, it averaged 25 MPG over 4 days and 510 miles.
