BMW M3 Forum (E90 E92) - View Single Post - Does fuel economy improve after bedding in period?

Hi, I have now done about 1500 miles and since the 1200 mile service I've been driving mainly in town with a fee blasts up country roads..
I seem to be returning an average of 16mpg! In the same conditions my 2007 RS4 was returning around 19mpg. That car was heavier, 4wd and 200cc larger in engine capacity and claimed the same power output.
Mmmmm.

So I guess I need folks who purchased their M3s from new to advise if the economy improves with age?

Thanks

Nick
