It is not about the money. He is absolutely correct. M3 mileage is horrid. For example 2011 Porsche 911 turbo S is rated 17/25...that's significant 5mpg better economy on highway...on the dedicated luxury, sports car that is twice as expensive as M3 and it has 100hp more.

E46 M3 was rated 16/24. I can understand losing city mileage due to more cylinders in the V8, but how did highway drop 4mpg on the NEWER model?
