95% of new BMWs from the dealership around here have way better fuel figures.
The whole 1-series lineup is more fuel efficient. Okay the 320hk/450nm M135I is about the same or a little worse compared to GT86 by a very small margin.
Most of 3 and 5 series around here are more fuel efficient...

Yes, lots of engine models available here that is not in the US.
Yeah lets go ahead and compare a $80000+ BMW to a $30000 Toyota...

On another note, BMW advertises the X5 3.0L diesel turbo as 7.5L/100kms. In reality (I have one) it only gets 9.0L/100.
