Plus, you're right, they are very fun to drive. As far as mileage, it's all about how you drive really, that goes for ANY car. Even your car would get shit mileage if you floor it every time you're leaving a stop light.  There's my current, I have 325 miles on this tank of gas so far with a mixture of city / highway driving, mostly city back and forth from campus | ||||

Additionally it was really comfortable for the driver and passenger, but not even for a teenager in the back seat.

| 3 series are definitely smaller and sportier than the 5 series, you don't usually see too many people with families driving a 3 series because that's not the target market really | ||||

| Yeah, you usually see douchebag teenage boys from a well-to-do family driving them. Or dudes going through a mid-life crisis, which is why my dad had one  | ||||
