Really? In a contraflow you thought it was wise to use your mobile phone to take a video of your dash which clearly indicates you are driving. Absolute tool! If your driving the phone should be well away from your hands and preferably out if sight. I don't give a toss what mpg you were getting, it shows how much lack of consideration you have for the rules of the road.

Well we will disagree on that one because the angle of the shot is far too far to the right to be someone leaning over that far. It's quite clear that it's being held on top of the steering wheel and moving slowing up and down as the person in control moves the wheel just like they would whilst........driving!
Just be glad you didn't have an accident because it's the first thing they would want to check.
EDIT - and now said video is private and cannot be viewed. Think that says quite a lot.

IMO this thread is slightly misleading.
45 MPG would be impressive if it were actually normal driving, not @ a steady 60MPH, downhill, wind behind, etc, etc.
I actually think 45 MPG is pretty good but not amazing in these conditions for what is essentially a bang up to date, 2L 4 pot.
Not that I like diesels, but a diesel would smash this consumption figure and completely smash the 31MPG, which is what you are getting on a real world, daily basis.
You got 25MPG from a 335i and now get 31MPG out of the 4 pot, personally I would much rather pay the small amount of extra fuel for the whole 35i experience.
I had a 2007 N54 335i and when it was working properly, that engine is nothing short of a masterpiece.

And yes N54 is an great engine
