Don't suppose there's much of a choice really but my wife can no longer afford to run her thirsty 325i automatic (needs an oil platform to follow it around at 22mpg!). She won't go for a 1 series - too small so I'm guessing it's a 318i or 320i? Can anyone shed any light on the kind of mileage...

Hi, I've got a 2000 plate 330ci and I'm looking for a remap to improve both economy and performance. Am I right in thinking I can have a flasher installed enabling me to switch between the two? If so are there any rated mappers around the kent area? And lastly what sort of price am I looking at...

Hi, Needing to go to petrol as have found I am actually only doing 5-6000 miles! Have found a couple of decent 318i Business editions locally but all I seem to find online is hating.... I used to have a 320d 184 so I know what these cars are like and it hated the short trips and stop start...

Hi all, Apologies, from looking around I can see that MPG has been done to death before - but I'm currently looking for a new "family" car and top of the list is an e61 (or possibly an e60). I like the extra grunt that the 6 pot gives over the 4 pot 520D so I've only really looking at 525D's...

I'm guessing if you are in control of the gears then the auto box won't be using as much fuel to change up and down frequently. It's a guess though - does anyone know for sure if using the Step-Tronic option in a sensible way is able to reduce fuel consumption? Sorry if this question has been...

Not seen an existing thread on this but as I'm on a long trip next week just wanted to get your views on best mpg cruising speed? cheers

So if I wanted to improve and upgrade my cars performance, a 330i sport saloon what would you suggest and why, ps I'm not interested in straping a turbo on or messing with the ECU, I don't want to stress the car at all or ruin the ride. I was thinking along the lines of suspension braking etc...

Hi all I'm looking to spend about £10k on an economical BMW. Right now i'm veering towards a 320d. I'm like house recommendations on which particular model to aim for? I would like something sporty looking and a coupé. What tweaks would I need to do to achieve around 50 mpg? Yup this is my...
