My normal driving is close to 50/50 (town and autobahn) and I usually do not drive faster than 135km (a bit over 80mph). I average between 24.5 and 26 mpg. I have found that when my winter tires are on, my mileage drops at least 1 - 1.5 mpg. All in all, I think the little 4cyl turbo performs pretty well (its not too hard to get it up to 125mph) and delivers decent mileage (as long as ya don't drive with a heavy foot) I just wish it didn't SOUND like a crappy little 4 cyl! Someone at BMW needs to figure out how to add a nice exhaust note!  |
How many miles do you consider as break in period?
