I reserve such talk for the Dirty TDI basement for fear of persecution.

Just to mix it up a little, I get 450 miles to £85 out of my mapped bm 535d. 50/50 town/motorway.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.

It depends on the traffic and how im driving as theres big differences depending how i use the car and oddly time of year as the traffic density seems to change so much in the city center certain times of the year. So like others im  :lipsrsealed: My tank averages have not varied to much though.
Theres plenty of previous threads to answer your question about mpg.

Now that it has been unceremoniously and constantly drummed into all and sundry how economical the rattle-trap Diesel engines are compared to silky-smooth petrol ones, may we in our final throws of desperation and boredom from reading the endless extolations of Diesel engine economy hopefully assume that Diesel owners may have realised that they have inadvertently purchased a truck?  :rolleyes:

You do have to be a bit special to be seen in a BMW.

Lucky for me I got the big engine then. People cant see me in it, as they only see the back of it, best of both worlds!
