Sorry. This car sucks gas. The stability of Xdrive is stunning especially in the snow.

I run double sport at 14.5 city. If you baby the car you can get 16 city at most. To be blunt, forget MPG I can only get about 220 MPT.

Of course that's miles per tank. So, not only do you get crappy mileage you also have to fill up every three days!

Again, use active cruise to get better city mileage. The slow starts add up to bigger savings. You can get 20 on the highway. I think the ethanol robs you a bit too if your gas had it.

Btw, if you put the car in sport plus the car will upshift and if you then shift into sport mode it will rev higher too. I call this double sport.

There is a difference!
