Why do people keep posting up E90 MPG on a thread about F30's? They are very different cars, gearbox for one 8 vs 6 speed.

I'd guess as the F30 owners who have more economical cars are posting lower mpg than the older cars which is at odds - maybe they are not yet run in or the owners are exploiting the performance so should expect less.

Fact is an LCI E90 330d auto has to achieve less than the F30 330d its the exact same engine with a far more fuel efficient gearbox lower revs per rpm etc so if owners are getting less its an odd result and one I cannot understand either as some posters are getting worse than I did with a 231bhp 330d auto which cannot be correct/that if those owners ran petrols or the older 330ds they would be epicallyow mpg.

Heck on my test drive getting into mid 40's took zero effort comfort setting and usual driving non motorway.
