Sponsored by: AutohausAZ.com
Talk about BMWs in general. Post official news, Bangle flames, or anything else related to BMW.
Umnitza now provides a mechanic to install all parts ordered right in the box! It's their new "Total customer service program" that will eliminate all the haters and keep incompetents from breaking **** and blaming the vendor! When you are all set simply call INS and they will pick him up free of charge.
Hah, mine says 15.9, but that's probably because I just got this car and it's pretty much impossible for me to drive it in a way that lets me get good mileage, lol.

Does my mileage sound too low? I don't drive too harschly. My commute to work is 10 miles each way freeway. In the morning there is no traffic and in the afternoon, I hit rush hour, stop and go. Ever since I got the throttle bodies, software and the HFM, the torque seemed to increase a lot and then my foot became heavier.
I have tried to drive sedately around town especially. I am having my car dynoed in July, maybe I will have it tuned too.
My econobox M43 engine gets me about 12 km/liter = 28.2 miles/gallon(US) in city driving.
We have 95 RON petrol if that makes a difference...
Just for reference my previous car (94 jdm WRX) gets me on average 9.2 km/liter = 21.6 miles/gallon(US). On the standard engine program it has twice the power of my E36 (~220hp) and I used it a lot, heh... (who cares if it's an auto)

Your Ride: E36 M3
My obc says 19.4 mpg, but I think that's wrong---all of my driving is done at about 55 mph, but I do gun the engine sometimes at stoplights---shouldnt I be getting like 24 or so?

Dinan540.... Keep in mind you have a huge engine. You have a V8 thats modded to basically dump fuel into the system to get the most performance out of it. If you want to feel better, get chrisworrell to tell he gets with his Mustang GT.
And BTW our Navigator gets like 9MPG in the city because of its age and state of disrepair.

Your Ride: 1989 325 iX
I get about 18-20 in my iX but thats probly because I drive about 80 mph everywhere I go (I can't help it in my old civic i'd be hitting 30 with the same pressure on the gas pedal)
ok, i gassed up again and got 27.1 mpg. i used to only get 23/24.
this is probably going to sound weird, but could anything be wrong? i mean, what would cause my mileage to actually increase?
i know what your thinking, its a good thing, dont question it, but im wondering. power delivery is the same and everything seems fine. just seems funny.
