I get that from my 320d on a long run sticking to 70 and barely touching the noisy pedal.. 40-45 is normal... Ask Plattsy..
Also not sure the line "won't cope in snow and ice" is true either.

Germans and Austrians love the BMs and they get plenty of snow. It's worth noting that euro Beemers also get the 4wd xDrive option that we don't get over here...yet.

What sort of economy do you get out of the 330d on a daily basis? I've been considering a 330cd sport in the future.
im affraid too say that bmw are miles behind VW on the economy side,blue motions cars are wicked on fuel and the golf diesel still has pkenty of poke when you need it,i drive a polo 1.4tdi daily returns 60+mpg and has shed loads of torque for such a small engine
I'm not convinced by the white paint fading issue.
Is it a:Honda Integra Type RHonda Civic Type RNissan Skyline GTRif its fast, from that side of the world and followed by an 'R', you might get away with it, possibly.
520 Diesel which has a similar BHP to my 330D but 50+mpg
I wish i could afford one of those bad boys. BMW are streets ahead of VAG in terms of blending performance/economy/emissions.

But, a 3 series BMW ways shit loads more than a polo, fabia or golf.. And lugging nearly two tonnes of steel around is going to use more derv.. Mines fine as I mainly do long runs, so get 50 mpg all the time.. When I do loads of accelerate decelerate city shizzle it drops loads.. Economy when the engine is cold and well warmed up (1/2 hour) is very different too..Jim, 2,5 Audi figures sound good.. Is that from the trip comp or worked out?
I always expect a jcb private number on white cars especially vauxhalls.look like they not been painted.as paul said its the old racing colour for jap rockets.reminds me,top gear this week and the gtr flying the test track
I wouldn't say no to this, despite many thinking Porsches to be hairdresser/city trader/etc posemobiles:
