The fact that BMW wastes millions on R&D by producing a car that has what seems like an infinite number of gimmicky driver settings and at the same time they produce a light, state of the art, compact ,4 litre engine that when babied can't get 20 mpg on the highway, coasting down hill with a tail wind, is in itself a stunning achievement.

The reveiwer said that they were driving over the speed limit, not really "babied" if you ask me. I'm sure that it will get over 20mpg, after all, its EPA rating is 22 on the highway.
