Factory MPG figures are only 27.7MPG round town, 50.4MPG on the motorway and 38.7MPG combined and thats for the saloon. Mine is 80kg heavier.
I think with the fact that I like to put my foot down a bit and that fact that although I say mixed driving it is actually pretty much entirely "round town" Its roughly whats expected.
Yes I could get a 328i but Id have to drive it like a pussy to get 30mpg. The noise of the 325TDS with the exhaust and induction kit is epic, not just epic for a diesel but epic full stop, ask anyone whos heard it.
Also when I get my VE pump on it itll be more powerful than a 328i
Think im just gonna put up with the terrible MPG for the boosted RWD based WIN.
