One thing to note on the topic of gas mileage is that the 6-speed M240i will not get 30+ mpg like the automatic will due to the short 6th gear. I'm not sure why BMW did this as I can't see 6th gear being used on any tracks and it only sacrifices good gas mileage on the highway. I'm having trouble remembering what cruising rpms were before my LSD upgrade, but I'm almost certain the LSD made things worse as I'm seeing 2500rpms or higher when cruising at 70mph. Luckily, I don't commute with this car and don't take it on the highways much, so not a huge deal for me, but it is still worth mentioning.
