There was a lot of hype a few months before the F30 launched about how it was going to be faster and more efficient than the old E90 diesel, but when the real world numbers finally rolled in it turned out it was actually slower and less efficient. And similarly equipped, it cost about the same as the diesel did too. So yeah, there's nothing in the F30 that interests me personally, not when my 3 year old car with 7 year old technology outperforms it in every way. Maybe when an F30 diesel hits US shores I'll reconsider.
I would buy a diesel BMW if they offered it with a manual.

My worst tank ever in this car(12 dyno pulls and romping on it the rest of the tank) was 28.5.

My usual average is 30-32. When I am getting to work and put it in COMFORT I average 39mpg with a bit of stop and go.

I don't know, I think that is impressive.
