Try this
Average over 308 miles.
I so need those dial rings.
You sure that aint average speed
Anyone can get good mpg if they drive like a grandad at 55mph on a flat road with cruise control on.
24-26mpg average in a mixture of town/A/B/motorway would be more accurate.
I can get 99mpg with the car in neutral coasting downhill!

Nope, it was MPG.
Cruise control was set to an indicated 75mph which was a GPS verified 70mph. Acheived between the A38 just out of Exeter and the A1M near York - all Motorway/dual carriageway with the odd bit of traffic. At the time though the car was on Dunlop SP Sport 2000E tyres. These are rubbish with little grip but very low rolling resistance which undoubtedly helped. Eagle F1's knocked the long distance MPG figure down to 37ish.
Edit: It now lives in town where it covers perhaps 70-80 miles a week max - 22mpg

was it arranged to have a sig like fox?
It's Ollys car in my sig, chose the pic becuase it looks good and our cars look identical.
Look above, explained how I got it.
I also wish my car had an MPG readout
Why?
Unfortuantely BMWs 'estimate' of your fuel level is horribly wrong.
You'll never see 700 miles to an E46 tank. Best I've seen from an M47 is 650 with it stuttering into the fuel station from a sedate 60mph non stop motorway trip.
