Guys, Done a rough MPG check when i went to ACE as ive changed a few bits,cleaned up a few more etc so was looking forward to taking it on a lil run to see how it goes..
Only have the ZoneChip as an engine Mod,quite new plugs,new AirFilter and no outher Problems as far as i know..
My MPG which was 75 carefull and 25 heavy footing was floating around the 35 to the gallon,this was on approx 80 Mway and 20 Urban
This sound normal to you 325 guys?
More than 35 MpG?

sounds about right for being carefull
i got an average of 37 according to the obc the other day...100% m/w but it was only doing about 65 (following a towed car), thought it was pretty good, would be even better if i hadn't been getting petrol money for the trip

couldn't agree more Liam, hence they are the somewhat prro relation to the 2.5 and in some cases the 1.8, smoothest engine by far thoughgod the 320i is thirsty
O/T, with regard to your PM mate, I'd need some definate numbers to make the trip pay for itself, over to you fella

You dont want to know around town ( very low 20`s) but every where I drive within 5 miles is like a bloody mountain range.
On a run 70-80 mid thirties?
