Last year I've made a 400 mile road trip and was averaging 24 mpg while cruising at 70-75 mph on the interstate. I never considered her for the fuel economy but I have been pleasantly surprised making up to 26.5 mpg while cruising at 50 mph on country back roads, this has been most definitely an added value of the low reving overdrive 6 speed gearbox and lowering overall cost of ownership.All power equipment is functioning properly and the air conditioning is ICE cold. The exterior of this vehicle is extra clean and straight with perfect body gaps, panel alignment and absolutely no rust ever. The gorgeous metallic graphite black paint shines beautifully as a collector quality vehicle should. This BMW has always been a Southern car since it was imported from Germany back in the mid 90's. It's so original the speedometer and odometer mileage is even displayed in the original Kilometers and when you convert kilometeres to miles it has around 97k miles. Carfax has it listed in Kilometers. The previous owner for 11 years was a F-18 fighter pilot from South Carolina's Hilton Head that meticulously maintained her with lots of records/ documentation to prove it. I have the complete set of books and manuals along with the original complete tool set in the trunk. The interior is extra clean and original with no modifications, rips tears, odors or blemishes. The leather feels and smells almost like the day it left the factory. Factory stereo works flawlessly with the only exception being the pixels are not as bright as new.
