I get 25.6 in my auto old style 330i so that would be a more accurate comparison to the 335d in MPG terms.

The new auto gearbox/software brings the manual and auto figures pretty close to each other consumption wise.
The first loaner 272bhp 330i I has was an auto saloon, and even though I only used it for work and hence optimal journey times for consumption, that returned over 34mpg which is pretty impressive for such a car.
I completley forgot about that car, in fact I didn't even realise it was an ED car when I had it, in fact I only really thought about it last night after posting.
