#2 of 74 What's your real-world gas mileage? by chaslewis2004 Apr 14, 2006 (12:24 pm)
The 325i (auto) I test drove today said 22-29 mpg on the window sticker. By contrast, the 650 next to it said 18-26, with it's big V8. How 'bout some real-world input from the 3-series owners?

Replying to: chaslewis2004 (Apr 14, 2006 12:24 pm) 330i, mostly highway miles in europe - 23 mpg averaging 100+ with runs above 140 for extended periods. Not bad given how hard the engine's working at those speeds.

#10 of 74 MPG for 2006 BMW 325xi by mtbmw Jul 15, 2006 (4:51 pm)
I have a 2006 BMW 325xi. For the first 4000 miles, I have been averaging 19-27 MPG. I am using nothing but premium gasoline. I wish it was better, but the car is so great that I can live with it right now.
