I'm going from 12.7 mpg to almost 30 mpg with the switch. And as everyone has already stated, the 228i is a quick little thing! Basically a second slower to 60 with more than double the gas mileage.
Now the 228i doesn't handle nearly as awesome as my previous M3 or the X6M which is to be expected. Sacrifices had to be made. But for bang for your buck, the 228i provides a sporty ride with a little bit of the fun factor.
I love going to the gas station now though...

I am currently leaving in Germany and judging by fuel prices I agree that you are saving some serious cash
How do you like the 2 series against your M3? I am cross-shopping between a used 2008/2009 M3 and a 2015 2 Series (only 220i available back in Mexico.. I will come back soon).
Thanks!
