You're comparing the 2008 EPA rating on the 535 to the 2007 EPA rating on the 335. New testing procedures the EPA implemented in 2008 have resulted in a decrease in mileage ratings. See http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/ratings2008.shtml
If you run a compare on the automatic 335i sedan automatic's 2007 rating to what the EPA estimates their new testing procedures will have on the rating, the 335 drops to 18 city, 26 highway (21 combined) from 20 city, 29 highway (23 combined). See http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calculatorC...=1&id=23523
The picture of the sticker cuts off before the 535's highway mileage rating. Anyone know what it is? Interesting to note that the 550i is rated at 15 city, 23 highway (18 combined) for 2008. On the "city" side, the 535i gets 13.4% better mileage than the 550i automatic.

I'll know the highway mileage on Sat. when I (finally) pickup my 535i. At the dealer now and I'm stuck in Vegas - on business.

Good info, thanks. Even with these adjustments, the promise of x percentage gains from BMW on MY08 seem lost.

I almost wrapped my car around an oncoming bus looking for my new 5 while I approached the dealer--be careful and best of luck!
