I remember getting 17km/l from my previous E91 330d on a trip from Hamburg to Paris. Considering that the my Z4 has 100 more hp and isn't a diesel, I was impressed with the 13.5km/l I got during my 4000km roadtrip to and from Chongqing here in China. This even included a lot of driving in traffic jams inside Chongqing. It was well over 14km/l while cruising between the cities. But then the speed limits are only 100-120km/h here in China.

btw 13.5km/l equals

7.41 Liters per 100 km
31.75 US Miles per gallon
38.14 British Miles per gallon



Ok enough talk about mpg. The N55 is much better for this purpose anyway.
Nice picture! Makes me miss Europe a little.
