depends how u drive and where ur driving.

i got 28 mpg from my 325i convertible recently - that was a mix of motorway and some small town driving.

on one of my previous 325i's i got 32mpg odd on a long journey, but conversely only around 22 odd round town.


oh diff ratios can also make a difference too.

i usually get 18mpg around town and 27 mpg on a long run... that said i reckon the ECU's temperature sensor is screwed and that'll be making it run rich.

my wifes 320i gets similar figures.

we both spank the tits off anything we drive though! :lol:
