iirc the E46 320d had 125/150bhp, the early E90 320d has 163bhp (and more on later models - 177/204) and as such, pre-eD, are less economical (the E90 is heavier too).

However, if some E90/E91 320d drivers (pre-eD, 163bhp) are getting well over 40 and into the 50's, then clearly a batch of them doing <30mpg may (?) indicate a problem in a number of variants/model years??
