pic of 318ci e46 replacement. E90 318d le mans. Done 60mpg @80 on motorway and 50 local. Its ideal as well as my other half needed more boot space (as its for work) than than the coupe offeres. Very good looking imo for an estate carImage

What is it, 2 litre with turbo?  150bhp?  Just wondered if it was the same engine as the Mini in which case Mini have even less excuse for the dreadful economy of the Countryman!

It looks great, is it Le mans Blue? the economy is awesome on that I only get between 25-30mpg out of my 330i, I do like the E91 its a great practical all rounder.

its a 2.0 turbo diesel, 143 bhp I think, I know the 32od is 177 and its less but It has plenty of torque and doesnt feel low on power

Hmmm.  That's approx the same as the Mini......which struggles to do 40mpg.  Oh well, it's going in a few weeks as our 330Cd vert  can do that with ease.  >:(

I agree it does look far better than the saloon...I think mine is pig ugly to be honest but I got it for the way it drives rather than its looks, I liked the split tailgate on my old 5 series tourer and the E91 comes with that too, you got the best colour as well  8)
