I have a lead foot too. Most of my driving is hwy, like 80-90% doing 70-75 mph. Te mileage can drop to 10 sometimes, but my city driving is fairly aggressive.

I'm really impressed at XDrive in this versus my 09 328xi. I'm attributing it the auto vs manual. I found my old car always shifted around at the wrong time and could sometimes initiate a slide or traction control engagement at odd times. This one I pick me gear at stick to it until I'm ready and not shift up or down until I feel I'm ready. I know the paddle shifters can hold the gear too, this is just different to me and absolutely improves the winter driving for me.

Just wish I could keep this damn car clean
