if ur worried about gas i dont know if a tune, even a 335 is right for u. im just saying, cuz then u got to put 93gas in which you should even if you are stock, you are going to drive faster with a tune and burn more gas that way to, you have to weigh YOUR wants. if you want your car faster you must consider higher gas prices and more as a SUPPORTING MOD loll.
iv got a n54 and an n55 and they both run better with 93 stock/tuned and they both run better tuned rather than stock |

I'm seriously jealous of you guys. I have a stock AT 328xi (aside from a K&n replacement filter) and with my round about trip to work (50/50 city/highway) I average 20.5-21.5mpg. Damn I hate stop/go traffic

Whatever tune you get isn't going to affect your gas mileage unless you're mashing the accelerator to the floor boards every chance you get. If you drive it the same as you did before the tune, you're going to get the same gas mileage.

According to some members gas mileage dropped from Cobb but I think they just have a heavier foot
Be that as it may on all the tunes I've had I kept the same or better then stock. AVG is about 22-23 MPG. |

Depends where you drive in the JerZ or maybe you have a heavy foot. If I drove in traffic all day I would probably get closer to 17-19.
