the best I'll get from my 35d when run in is something like 13L/100 - and we do less than 7500km per year, so I reckon going back to petrol might work if we get lower diesel noise/vibration etc ... I just didnt want the pissy 3.0 and the 4.8i just seemed a little torque lacking ..I suspect the 50i will sort that problem out ..in saying that I bet the RRP for all these go up over current pricing ..BMW Aus will justify via extra goodies I suspect ...we'll see.

Must admit I'm a little pissed that BMW Aus did not mention these updates coming so soon this year given I purchased in December ..my fault really as I knew these changes were coming but didnt want to wait up to a year ..which was really only 6 months if they are June deliveries ..
