If it ends in i it’s petrol and if it ends in d it’s diesel if that helps
we’re still in lockdown conditions so not much travel at the moment but I’ve seen a 218i and m235i in the wild since I ordered mine, but given mine was only delivered a couple of days ago I haven’t seen one since delivery.

I also had one passenger and a fair bit of luggage, a/c was on auto as well so without those I might have got an even better result.

I drove my wife to and picked her up from work the night my car was delivered as it’s pretty much one of the only valid reasons to go for a long drive, and got 110km round trip for each end of her shift, Australian roads with coarse chip aren’t that quiet on the 19” PZ4’s, but road noise is always a problem on those roads. I’ve used about 1/3 of a tank already, and while I’d like to wait until I can get a more accurate measure of consumption my trip sat at 6.1l/100km (~46.3mpg) according to iDrive. Not sure what you’re riding on but I have m-sport suspension (standard in AU) and 19’s which definitely will have an impact on economy
