Your MPG Doesn't sound very positive to me. But after you take your vehicle and diagnosis the problem i'm "POSITIVE" you will be a happy person with a POSITIVE report.

My X5 4.4 was a nice car/truck that handled the NYC roads better than my E61.

That said I still love my E61.

I think most BMW's age well (with quality maintenance)

My E61 has 75,000 miles and drives like new.

It would be hard to use the X as a DD with that mpg.

The Accord would be used way more (13 gals gets me around 275 miles).

I don't know if you have ever been to nyc but there are parts where u can't go more that 300ft without reaching a stop sign. by the time I accelerate to 30-40mph I have to stop because of a stop sign or red light so most of my time is either accelerating or braking
