So I got something with alot less oomph but lots of gadgets. Now I can play with the gadgets whilst sitting in the traffic.

Wow, 16-17 l/100km
??? ... The last time I had figures like yours was while I was breaking the E90 in.
On average, a full tank lasts me more than 600 km... and I do 700km if I take it easy on the throttle.... but it's mainly because I stay in Pretoria and work in Joburg... and I avoid traffic by going to work before the morning traffic jams and leaving before the afternoon traffic jams.... it's only on weekends when I do figures close to yours, as I drive the car the way it should be, once it has warmed up of course.... no abuse, just good old hard driving.
I don't blame you for getting rid of your E90... those consumption figures are bad... not to mention the indirect damage the stop-go traffic is doing on the car.... that 330i engine is surely an unhappy one, since it loves high revs and traffic jams starve it of that... very sad indeed.
