I don't know what the real-world MPG is for a 335i. My new M235i has averaged 26+ combined MPG since the day I picked it up. Did a 360 mile trip a few weeks ago and got 34.7 MPG. Most of that trip was at 70 to 82 MPH on the interstate with bursts to 95+ to pass a string of semi trucks. Did the whole trip in Comfort Mode.
