The "i" is for gas engines, "d" for diesel.
yes I know that. 5000 still seems too low for a gas engine. gas mileage sucks. but i guess when you cut the power to a certain extent it has to work to carry all that heft.

What frustrates me most is that my 2002 325Ci had 184hp, a top speed of 130 mph, accelerated to sixty in...you guessed it 7.1 secs, and got around the same mileage. At least in that car you got the silky smooth inline six.
