4850 was surprisingly lively for an E40D. The BX61 batch have numerous better contenders than any 2013/14 E40D which most of them feel very sluggish.

4892 (BC) and 4967 (WB) are both particularly lively

There's quite a few of the 2013/2014 ones at BC that are quite lively.

Some of the ex Cov ones at WN are fast too, 4983 is quite something!

I drove 4967 recently and was surprised at how quick it was. It ain't shy of steep hills too, managed to hit about 25 up City Road! Usually 49s struggle to surpass 12ish, so it made me wonder what did they do to 4967 to make it so powerful

I had 4469 on a late night 95 last week. Really enjoyed the journey. It sounded as rough as a badgers backside but it was full of life and very sprightly. A very earthy and guttural sound.

Maybe some of them are getting better with age (loosening up some components that make them slow lol) strange really 🤔
