There really good figures given the weight of the cars.

People on Astra owners with 1.8 petrol engines are only getting max 31-32 or 40 mpg on a long run

Would rather have a x5 4.0d

I know someone that sold a 1.8i astra because it was so bad on mpg, I can see them sort of figures in the m3 on an easy run, well 33-34

I miss my Z4M for that its a cracking powerplant that 3.2 aswell...the V8 in my M3 is hopeless on fuel, I can see why they will be going back to six cylinders for the next M3/M4.

tbh where I am its very hilly and its still in that new fun stage and been driven keenly yet im averaging 24.8 on the obc, the 318ci is only averaging 28 on the same roads, the m3 seens to be everything, fast, economical (30+ is good im thinking) and ooow that noise, ive not driven a v8 m3 yet but I will, im just so glad now I got the m3 over the 335i

You made a great choice Shadrack going for the M3 & I agree the noise is inspiring, if you had gone 335i I bet you would have always thought I wonder what the M3 is like, the E46 M3 is so highly regarded by everyone & for very good reason, enjoy.
