In stock configuration I could get 16-17mpg all city driving. But, this car also made me drive like a nut. I think if I babied it every where I could get 19 mpg in the city. For 2 MPG, you might as well drive it the way you want.

The mpg is not why I got rid of the car. It was 3 AC system repairs in 3 years. 3 HPFPs in 3 years. And, main because BMW service and I had a disagreement over a flat tire on a loaner car. BMW will not repair RFT tires, they will want to bill you for a new tire on their loaner cars.
