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.

That sucks about the loaner.

For what its worth, my wife's Audi A4 has been a champ. Not a single issue so far, knock on wood.
