OK, here goes
When I drive my 330i sports package on long distance it does well, open road on the way to say san diego, cruise control at 75 MPH, I get 32MPG, Cruise control at 85/90 gets 30 MPG
Driving CAREFULLY around town, in Los Angeles typical stop start traffic, I cannot get over 16 MPG ever
Driving the car hard around town, late at night with no traffic..... 10 MPG
so in summary im pretty dissapointed in the MPG except for the open road
this is going to be an expensive car to run
so far 880 miles on the clock, and 4 used tanks to get there - averaging around 15/16 MPG

oh yeah and another thing that sucks, the last bit of braking!
this car is VERY hard to stop at a complete standstill without a jerky type stop
really have to concentrate to ease off the brake pedal carefully
the brakes just cling too hard and have sort of a dead zone feel when braking to a complete stop (and I am talking a normal stop here, not hard driving)

I get 10mpg driving around the streets of brooklyn in a 325i
& I agree its almost impossible to do a soft brake stop, it really sucks

Agree on the hard braking. There's just no getting away from the last bit of brake "jerk" no matter how gentle you are in easing the brakes.
Regards to mpg. I have been monitoring my mileage for the past 1300 miles. on straight gun-it freeways, sucky stop-n-go city traffic, twisty scenic routes.. and my mileage is 25mpg..

10 MPG?
there is something wrong with the design of this 3L engine
my corvette with a 6 liter V8 gets better MPG than these e90s
