A Smaller engine, or detuned engine, and the car still weighs the same.. so its pretty obvious why the gas mileage is a bit lower, it has to work harder to move the car..

and to be honest, I think this car will sell ridiculously and eat into the 328i, as the amount of people I see in NY with base 328s that clearly buy it for the brand, this will become the cheaper alternative..
