I must admit madman that the 320i auto SE E93 was a bad choice by me as I didn't test drive the same combination, it was too underpowered and when the 320i engine problems started to come up I got rid of it quickly and went 330d M E93, that's what I should have done the first time.
I does appear there is a big difference in fuel economy and the dealers don't know what to do, it's probably due to the fact that thier knowledge is limited and there are only a few people that can really understand what is really going on, modern technology has its advantages and disadvantages
