Put another way, once her e90 has run dry, the F30 would have 112 more miles left to empty. 112 miles  This difference only becomes more significant the higher gas prices go.
Factor in the fact that the F30 extracts no performance penalty whatsoever for all of this economy. It is faster than the car it replaces. A lot faster. Don't forget the vastly upgraded available technology: improved iDrive interface/navi, 8-speed automatic, start/stop system, M adaptive suspension, HUD and so on. For nearly all 3-series buyers, the F30 is the more desirable car. |
Check your stuff if you are only getting 23. I'm getting 27 mixed in a 335. She must be driving it like she stole it.
