Calm Chris Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 I thinl that Oct 06 saw the change to the engine, pre that date the cars were not ED. Our 120 was June 06 and so the engine is the 167 bhp, it does 45 mpg on motorways, 35 mpg urban which is 75% of the use it gets. The ED units are about 175 bhp and push the mpg up to 50 mpg / 38 mpg (motorway / urban). Since the 3 series is heavier the above figures might need to drop a bit.

Calm Chris Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just bare in mind the ED model was very late 06 and pre ED should sell at 10% discount to the ED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
