It'll sit at 80 on the motorway at just over 2000 revs beautifully and is obviously super efficient, though where BMW (and all car manufacturers) get their mpg figures from, god only knows. 75 mpg is no where near right. The best I've had is 65 driving only in the efficient dynamics mode (which we do most of the time...but at 80 on the motorway!).

Its strange that you say that its less torquee as the engine has the same amount of torque as the normal 116d . Its 260nm so should be the same...
