I would be upset about that. The 335i should be getting mid to high 20's mpg if driven conservatively on the highway. Sounds like you have some legitimate complaints with the car. Good luck getting them resolved. You may want to call or write BMW Na if the dealers can't help you.

We already wrote a letter to BMW and we are in the process of having the car declared a lemon.

Ah, that's right. You said you were in the process of having it declaired a lemon. I would immagine that is not a fast or easy process. Are you going to try another 335i?

Not sure yet, but I do not believe so. I think we are leaning more towards the
Audi S5.

Yeah, you won't get any better MPG in that, but at least it will sound like God snoring. Not to mention, it's one of the sexiest cars on the road.

Your 3er is also a convertible, remember that... The coupe will get 25MPG on the highway, but the E93 may not.

I did not actually get my car from there, I leased from an out of state dealer. I was just up that way the other day and so I ask them about a front plate holder, and they just added their frame. I test drove there though with Trevor.
