I almost forgot.

The 'REALLY' good news is that we averaged just over 20 mpg on the test, and on one journey back to the hotel after resetting the gauge I managed 24.3mpg, despite taking a few of the roundabouts on the way sideways. That's really, really good news.

The M6 I drove on the same occasion could do no better than 16mpg, and frequently dropped to 12-13mpg.

My CSL which admittedly got driven rather harder, was giving around 19mpg, so I reckon BMW were not lying - the new M3 'really' will be as economical as the E46 M3.
