I've figured it out that the gas pedal is very touchy. Just let up on the pedal a bit more and you'll realize that you're going pretty much the same speed, but using a lot less gas. I get about 375-400 depending on heavy I am with my foot. I do a lot of city driving as well, and traffic is just as bad here as is in Boston.

I've never owned a BMW before so this was a good car to start out in. Plus I'm pretty young, so going too fast is not what I want. I used to have a 2000 Z28 and that got me in plenty of trouble.?
I would say if your happy with it do. Drive it around a bit, see how you like the acceleration and how it feels.? It seems like everyone on here owns a 545, but I can't afford one,? yet.? So don't over burden yourself, and if you like it, get it.? BTW, I paid ~44k for mine.? $47k seems a bit crazy.? I don't think I was too much over MSRP.

[/quote]Ease back on the pedal fellas.. That's all the advice I can give you. I just went through another tank yesterday. Went 410 miles on it.
