These are according to the new EPA test which hand out lower MPG's across the board for all vehicles. By comparison the 2008 numbers for the 335i are 17/20/26 (auto and manual).
Not on the EPA web site is the 123d, that is estimated at around 36 city, 45 hwy (give or take a few mpg). Considering these numbers, a chipped 123d with mid-6 second 0-60 times sounds better and better to me. |
123d in stock form goes 0-60mph in 6.6sec. So chipped should go sub 6sec. (
