on a long run you should be able to get near 28-30 mpg in an m20 325i

the v8's newer technology and but the same on fuel as an 325i maybe a little worse in town

they have a 5 spd box iirc (auto) and a LONG final drive.

my 730i was 30mpg on the MW and 15 round town

OBC is a toy to see "how low can you go !!" with mpg LoL

And does it go lower
It wouldnt bother me if it did tbh , Its the enjoyment behind the wheel

My 540i was doing around 12 around town but 28+ on the run........................

still tempted to have one as a tank to plod along in ultimate cruising barge,

v8's are not for cruising You need to hear it roar! Averaging 18.9mpg in the 325 and I spent most of the time sideways or on WOT through the forest.

the obc is on the wrong setting thats US gallons. UK setting is M/G

My 325i averaged round the Nurburgring 13mpg, so unless you live in central london, under a 20mpg average in a 325i would mean to me there is something wrong with engine

Really Only thought there was 1 setting

press the tiny button on the right with the end of a biro and it changes. unfortunatley it also changes the temp to farenhite

download the original manual, its all in there

my dad 840Ci Sport with the 4.4 run around 19MPG normally and upto 25-7 on a motorway run

US gallons are bigger.... so don't expect an increase in your figures!
