Get the impression that I'd get +5mpg or more in the 330d with the same sort of driving.
Shit the bed! How the hell did you get 50.9mph on a motorway run?!

Best I can get is 41mpg and that's fairly nannying it around 75/80mph. Usually I get 39mpg around 80/85mph. That's Comfort/ECO PRO.

As soon as I get it off the motorway, 34-36mpg.

In town, 32ish mpg.

Only slight "dynamic" driving (still in Comfort mode!), i.e. accelerating firmly through 4-5k rpm will result in 26-29mpg. Biggest shock for me coming from a 330d was that when you tickle it even just a little bit, the mpg just drops horrifically!!

My E90 LCI 330d 6MT would never leave 44-48mpg and I could mess that about however I wished without seeing any noticeable drop!
