That's what the 'Fuelly' stats are saying over 5000 miles now, most I've had on one fill up is nearly 34 and a recent 150 mile journey 37. I've never used eco pro, it's normally in comfort, occasionally Sport and tend to drive spiritedly but smoothly. Last tank 33.3 and best tank 33.6.

Fuelly is tracking the mileage of 19 M235i coupe's in the U.K. 2014 models are averaging 27.5 mpg and 2015 models 25.9 mpg, so yours is about the norm.

and Nick can expect can expect from his M135i, based on data from 5 vehicles, 45 fuel-ups and 13,221 miles of driving, the 2015 BMW M135i will get a combined Avg UK MPG of 30.52 with a 1.17 UK MPG margin of error. These are real world figures not fiddled in some laboratory.

Gives the diesel drivers some entertainment! but I wouldn't swap it.

Guy, could be the fact that your 'vert weighs 150kg more than a M235i coupe!?

Might also be my right foot Andy. Not sure those rear PSS are going to last that long

Interestingly enough it's also 150kg's lighter than an M4 Vert which explains less wallow...

Yep! As a very, very newbie, I know I'm not qualified to comment but I will agree that NTG's constant bullshit against diesels does come over as very, very puerile and as boring as boring can be. Surely, someone so obviously super-intelligent as he could contribute something useful rather than constantly adopting the negative approach?

I'd like to have the fun proving you wrong... what would be fun is if we had a little challenge, so come along to the How Fast session or RWYB sessions, towards the end of October.

If my car is quicker than yours then you have to stop boring us with the tedious jibes at diesel...

Something we may agree on, except for your spelling. But then again, the popcorn view is often amusing, even if in this case he's wasting his time.

Btw, you have 53 days left to consider your next annual positive contribution.

MarkG335 is wondering if NTG is ever going to take delivery of his M135i?

There is a retirement cottage / villa some place with my name on it.

I need to start ticking off some decent driving roads again.

Everyone needs to get out and enjoy their cars and less threads about 'I have a 335d and I can get 50mpg in ECO mode'

Find some good routes and have fun in their respective cars
