At best Eco Pro will save you a couple of miles per gallon, while frustrating the hell out you by providing all the dynamics of a 1996 518 with worn piston rings and leaking valves.
In Eco Pro you essentially waste the £25 - £38,000 you spent on your car in order to save 1/10,000th of that at each visit to the fuel pump.
Driving 10,000 miles per year, a 5mpg improvement will net you about £150 p.a savings or 0.5% of the average purchase price. Eco Pro literally ruins the responsiveness of a BMW and is there to fulfil government rules and regulations. Eco Pro completely negates the reason for buying a BMW. As I said at the beginning, what makes it brilliant is that all those performance destroying set points are collected together in 1 button that you don't need push....leaving the rest of the car's performance pristine and a joy to use

Agree.
I cannot believe how paranoid are some people over saving a miserable dollar with a miserable preforming car in Eco Pro.
