Agreed if you want 50+ mpg you might as well get a 320d, I never use eco pro mode it's awful.
Well - I had a loaner 420d M sport on Sat. The engine was horrible - as in very rough loud and non linear performance. When I got back in the big D the noise was totally different as in hardly audible and the performance smooth.
I like having the ability of a fast car as and when I like but also the ability to nail cracking economy too. Hence IMHO cars like the 335d/535d are total compromise cars but you fully accept that and really enjoy them.

Had a great drive home mpg is up to 43mpg now
Is that mpg figure per the computer or calculated manually? Only reason I ask is that my 335d says it's doing around 43 on the computer but the truth is the best part of 4mpg less; computer seems much less accurate than my old E92 335i in this respect which is both surprising and a touch disappointing......JNW1 said:

What was wrong with the 535?
Its not an M5 - so anything less than that is a compromise. (That in itself is high praise indeed). Had a great drive home mpg is up to 43mpg now.... Must be learning how to drive it to its best
