Get the impression that I'd get +5mpg or more in the 330d with the same sort of driving.

That sounds good - I can't get anywhere near that in my 328i.

How many miles does yours have on it?

Mine has done about 3k miles now, but at best I get about 31/32mpg which is mix of town and motorway driving.

I'm hoping it'll get better with miles, but I keep wondering if its my driving style /or the manual box being generally less efficient than the autos.


I do keep wondering if i should have just "settled" for a 320d given my fuel costs - unfortunately a 330d would have been out of my reach!
