I drive a 2018 M240i with 1300 miles. Purchased new. I live in West Los Angeles and drive during normal hours, not in peak traffic hours, but it's still LA. According to Edmonds and BMW, I should be getting 20-22 mpg in city. Driving the car like an old lady in comfort mode, I'm getting between 12 and 13.5 mpg. I've tried driving in econo mode and I get 14.5. I've taken it the dealership that I purchased the car from several times and they tell me they find nothing wrong with the car. When my drive time is spent more on the freeway, the mileage is 18.9. Most of my drives are 4 to 6 miles each time. Typical city driving.
Does anyone have a similar car? What's been your experience driving in the city? (Not asking about freeway mpg)
Thanks!

I do about 50/50 highway and city and average 16.5mpg. I am very judicious in my use of the FULL range of the gas pedal. Listening to that inline-6 roar and the transmission banging off rapid shifts is why I bought this thing
That said, I did think I'd get closer to 18-20mpg like my 335i used to. Oh well.
