Got my cake and eating it with the 28i

[Twin Turbo]

Well, had to drive to Birmingham from Nottingham today door to door and home ,not the best drive in the world - speed camera alley. So decided for an change, to keep within the national speed limits all the way! Not my normal attitude that there are two speed limits thoughts with BMW's and thoughts lesser peeps without who need to keep within the limits of there cars.

Well not driving, like an nissan micro driver, doing an steady 65/70 mph down the M42 and into town, and got an impressive 53mpg - which is not bad for an 300 bhp petrol.

Have got 60+ MPG down doing 50 mph - but that just kills me

I know I miss an straight Six sound - but the N20 28i I think is an great all rounder

Is that by calculation or your OBC ? My OBC tells me I'm getting a different figure to the one I get by calculation of miles covered against fuel used.

It's still mightily impressive though

My OBC gives me lower readings all the time, It's faulty I reckon. But that is an impresive mileage
