Hi Guys
Lease expires on my Company 525d M Sport next month and fancy changing to the 325i SE Coupe. I travel about 25,000 Company miles per year but according to the BMW this new engine not only has lower CO2 emissions but averages around 39 mpg.
The lower emissions save me £60 per month Company car tax whilst the fuel costs i can claim are quite different. At the moment my Company give me 13p per buisiness mile (diesel) whilst a 2.0ltr+ petrol car will refund me 19p per business mile and at around 20p per gallon difference in fuel costs i think i will be on a winner all round.
Apart from that it looks bloody good.
Anyone got one?
Cheers.

I have been running a 325i se coupe auto since June last year. Really pleased with it, fuel consumption is around high 20's day to day and on a motorway run goes to low to mid 30's. I have the older engine which is the true 2.5 not a detuned 3 litre.

Thanks for the heads up. As my 525d has returned an average of 36mpg over the past 65,000 miles i will be pleased should i get around 30mpg from the 325i.
I will let you know the outcome.
