Been done for you this time :thumbsup

 

look at mine and thats a 318!

 

same as you about 22 23 around town, petrol gone up, use work van all week, car weekend and night, but I put double ££££ than 3 years ago

 

Your mpg is about right for an auto in urban use IMO... manuals seem to be about 15 - 20% better on fuel than their auto counterparts... :frown

 

Thanks for your posts. The funny thing is, it only goes down (20-21mpg) when i drive it at weekends and evenings. My Mrs drives it to and from work during the week and it miraculously goes back up.....Must be the boy racer still in me :hihi

 

Hi beemernewbie,

I have only recently aquired a 2002 E46 330 Ci convertible manual (28th Jan), I'm getting around 28 mpg around town, but on a run on mainly A roads I'm getting around 35 mpg.

I filled my car up from empty to full tank and that cost £68 using ordinary unleaded @110.9p per liter.

I expect that figure to drop when the roads start to dry out and I start to get used to the car, have only done 600 miles so far

My last BMW was a 1994 E36 325 convertible, which retured similar mpg.

All above figures drop by around 10% when the roof is down, due to the increase in drag.
