Isn't active hybrid 3 currently the top of the line F30 variant (until M3 comes out of course)? TS buy a top of the line F30 and wanna scrimp on a few cents. I laugh until my balls shrink.

But someone who buys hybrids does so too because they want less fuel consumption for environmental or economic reasons too. Currently these machines are expensive but it doesnt mean that they are bought for the same reason as the m3. My 2 cents.

BMW ALPINA FTW.
BMW Alpina is almost as pure breed as ///M3. Most of the parts are assembled in the Munich Plant. Those related to BMW Alpina will be in Buchloe.C3P0;1013642 said:
Do take note that BMW Alpina is an automobile manufacturer recognised by TUV.pancakeparadise;1013655 said:

I am very sorry to say this but how does one quantify their driving patterns?
From our dealings with drivers from all sorts of versions of engines and rims, blah blah blah...... we get lots of responses on their mileage.
How does one quantify mileage? One's car with their personal driving habits compared to another guy's involves too many variables. How do you quantify expressway percentage? according to KM or according to total journey time?
Do you know that travelling at 10km/h in a large carpark can use up to 300mL of fuel? And that can be a large portion of the trip's total fuel usage if it was a short trip.
Try using your cars average speed when you compare mileage. reset the ave speed every tank and this will answer a lot of questions and set minds at ease. We had a customer that drives a e90 323 on 19" rims. He was getting 300km on 1 tank of petrol. We checked and check everything and at the end realised that his ave speed was just 22km/h. He did not stop to make phone calls while the engine was running. And when compared to his MB C180, which did almost 500km per tanks, driven the same way, he perpetually felt the E90 was a drinker. The owner still forgot that he was driving a 2.5L engine that needed fuel even though he was pottering around in industrial estates and car parks. Hence the 22km/h ave speed.
In any case, a virtually stock car is supposed to give the best economy for most drivers in normal driving situations. If you wanna mod then forget about comparing your 7+km/L to another guy's 9km/L. There is just too many variables...
