Didn't you get the memo that states 328's Step fuel economy is now 22/33mpg, like the 335i?
BMW 528i N20 fuel economy is also down according to BMW.

I just took a drive from LA to temecula in my 328i (75 mile drive, pure highway, averaged 68mph). I went in pure cruise control at 70mph just to test how good the mileage could be.
After the trip, my trip monitor showed 43 mpg! That is ridiculous mpg. In a previous trip I wasn't using cruise control and averaged 38mpg. I wonder what people are getting in their 335i while doing some type of similar test.
And yes, it was difficult to resist the urges to push the car and drive it as it was meant to be driven.
