Our post LCI automatic 330d averages about 38 MPG and get's to the high 40s on the motorway. The engine is far more refined and smooth than the 2.0L. Nothing 'wrong' with the 2.0L, but the 3.0L 6 is so much better and nowhere near as thirsty as you may imagine.

If it's a company car there are clear financial benefits to the 2.0L, but as a private purchase I would take a 3.0L 6 any time if you can dind one at the right price.
