is that the same 3.2 that's in the R32? if so its very old, very heavy and bloody uneconomical, i avg'd 18mpg in my R32
Ermmm..... Probably haha, even the newer engines dont compare to bmw's? Because the official figures are all bobbins. The newer the car, the further the official and real world numbers move apart. They optimise the cars to produce good figures on the EU cycle, but none of them come close in day-to-day driving.
I bet the figures for those 2 cars driven by the same person are much closer than 10mpg.

Possibly true, 17mpg urban for audi and 26/27 mpg urban on the bmw is a lot though. Id have said more 14/15 round town in the audi and 20 with the bmw. I bet the figures for those 2 cars driven by the same person are much closer than 10mpg.
Dont know wether or not to look at getting the beemer instead "/

I had a 325i coupe/convertible thingy on an 07 plate. It did 20mpg urban. A few years back, I used to have a 330d on a 51 plate and that did 30mpg urban. In both cases, nowhere near the official figure.
Fair enough... Bmw 330 convertible or audi a4 3.2 quattro convrtible?Gassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
