I find it really hard to believe you do 50% better than the new (2008 standards) EPA average rating for your car: [Fuel Economy of the 2003 BMW 330i](http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/noframes/18472.shtml) > > Even freeway only how do you get 5 MPG better than the 2008 EPA ratings? MT and other magazines have done a lot of comparing to the new 2008 standards and they are proving to be **very** accurate (unlike the old methods). > > E46s are okay I guess… but if and only if it has lots of warranty coverage left. The driving experience is nice. But you pay a lot more to get the same level of luxo/hp as Lexo. And the Lexo nav is much, much better than BMW’s crap (I hate the system in this M5). Say what you want man, i dont really care if you call bs or whatever, im the one driving the car. The window sticker says 21/30 and i usually get around 29, I got 32mpg when i was driving down to the beach. Unlike the 03 you posted, mine is an 04 with the performance package, so it has a 6 speed instead of a 5 speed. \*edit it said 21/30 not 21/29 also my combined driving yields me 26mpg --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/30-000-to-spend-what-car-would-you-get/194334)._
