Good to see it's being used properly

Been shortlisting some of these I've found via AT and eBay etc; a possible potential if the wife lands her new jobs and takes the F31 on

I'll be looking for a project then and it needs to be a manual BMW; ideally a 330i, but may consider other engines too

I'm not sure it is being used properly if it is getting 39.2mpg!

My E90 330i is showing 34.0mpg on the OBC and while I don't commute I do enjoy the performance now and then.

But anything over 30mpg seems good for a 3 litre petrol.

On the 150 mile each way trip its used for there is 20-25 miles of country roads where, at the time I travel can be great fun, the long stretches of dual carriageway / motorway I simply stick to the limits, no desire to join the solid white Audi diesel brigade attempting to make "progress" at speeds above the limit :-)

That may explain it then. I keep finding myself reminding white diesel Audi drivers that they shouldn't be in the BMW lane.

Both of our current N52’s are sub 30….but not too far away.

Car looks good OP and it’s good to hear that it’s treating you well. My E82 was a good car and u thought it still looked smart.

That's good though seeing as they are both dailies. Mine is, but as I'm retired my daily use doesn't involve rush hours and stop/start traffic!
