http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-ACC...kberry+gateway One of the CA's at my dealer told me about it. It's got great reviews and for $36 you can't go wrong. Don't let the name fool you, it works with any smart phone that's A2DP enabled. Edit: Sorry for the off topic. |

M235i Auto 23 MPG average 1200 miles.
I'm not quite sure why all the whining about Eco Pro mode? If you put your foot into a little, it pretty much goes just as fast as does Comfort. It seems like its only the first half of the throttle pedal throw that it really restrictive. |

I too feel like they could have done a better job smoothing out the delivery of the choked back power in Eco - there is nothing, nothing, nothing so you keep pushing - and then all the sudden, it acts "normal"...kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. Update on mine - I am at 2100 miles and the MPG remains stubbornly below 20 MPG. I ride in Sport + and basically nothing else. Also, Eco only works up to 75 MPH. Who goes 75 on the highway?

The main feature of ECO mode which is hard to replicate is the coasting when lifting at highway speeds. Otherwise, agree that careful driving in comfort mode yields similar MPG results.

I wonder what happens when it is 90 outside and you have the A/C cranked? Does only the fan blow? Will be interesting to see...

I am not worried. I commuted daily in a pick up truck for years and got less than 20 mpg. Also, I can buy gas at American prices here in Germany. But if I have to fuel up outside of Germany it will probably be painful.
