26 mpg observed
See the South African test here.
They found in "country" driving 9.2 l/100 km which translates to 26 mpg and a range of 419 mi. Not too shabby at all! BTW, great efficiency converter here: http://www.markporthouse.net/rangie/...onversion.htm# |

I am not surprised... I was surprised that so many got taken in by the 12mpg... Jason

the problem with this statistic is that it comes from the same magazine that gives the M3 0-100 km/h in the mid 5 seconds.
as far as i'm concerned any statistic of significance coming out of this article is completely impeached. - esquire

5.6 implies two things... the car was at high altitude or the driver cant launch the car. I dont think either have much to do with the MPG figure...but who knows...

Don't think so

Also, if you are referring to the mid 5 s 0-100 km/h time by the same SA mag - did you miss the elevation of the test and that entire discussion? If your answers to both questions above are yes then you get a huge . |

The fuel economy that I got with my bone stock 98 E36 M3 was 8.7 l / 100 km, driving 55 mph (90 kph)..... 9.2 is really impressive consider the POWA the 335i has...

Sorry my brain fart....I was thinking of one of the reasons why I am buying a 335i and I made a comparison between my old E36 M3 (240 hp) and the new 335i (300 hp). POWA = Power, context is "Yo, 3rd gear VTEC POWA"...
