330i m sport (e90)

[Garth]

I have a 58 plate 330i M Sport coupe (E92) and I bloody love it! 

It drives way nicer than my GTI did and handles like a dream. It's not as good on fuel as the GTI it seems. On a long run on the motorway, it'll get nearly 40mpg but round town it's only getting about 25mpg which is a few lower than I got from the GTI. I wouldn't swap back though!

One thing to note is that everyone I know with an E90 has had to have the fuel injectors replaced. I have just had all my injectors, all the spark plugs and the fuel pump replaced under warranty. I have only 19k miles on it too!

40mpg on a run, I don't even get that in my 335d, the ED is a different matter and runs on fresh air!

It's very strange as I also have a 330d and the 330i is more economical!! The 330i is a manual which really helps. The auto boxes in BMWs suck the economy right out of the engine. I think I'm right in saying that 335d is only available in auto?

Yea I've heard that too about the pump and injector, I know it was warranty work but what was the price ?
Not botherd really, it's still got 1 year warranty left
I thought my golf  handled a fair bit better and felt loads faster tbh but I have spent a bit on it, a few mods on the BMW and hopefully the tables will be turned. The real draw of the 3.0 was a big silky smooth unstressed bombproof engine !
