Something you'll never see in an M3...

I saw this when I was on a trip down to Bend on Wednesday in my E90.

The tank holds 15.9 and it took about 5/8s-3/4 of a tank round trip for around 7 hours of driving, it was pretty good.

EDIT: That trip mileage (the 413/464 miles) reading wasn't reset before the trip or after filling up, it is incorrect.

I'm assuming that was your average fuel consumption display, and not your real-time display, because I've got mine to say 99mpg before

It was in my E90 325i. Check out the edge of the speedometer, it only shows 160.

In the M3, this would be accomplished with a strong wind from behind while going down a hill.


Sorry, I'm bad at multi-quotes.

I can think of some things you won't see in your 325... starting with 8400 RPM on your tach
