Im definitely around 3600+ at interstate speeds. The mpg's suck in the ix as well. But driving an ix in the dirt/snow is an absolute blast. I was considering selling mine but god dammit that thing grips! But hell, even my 91 318is was a tank in the snow. My snowboard barely fit in the backseat but it had no problem climbing the mountain.

Then you're going 90mph. I have 4.10s, 3500 is 75mph. Not 7600 at 70 with 3.91s.Originally posted by MF DOOM View PostComment

Between 65-80mph, I'm usually somewhere between 3k and 3750 rpm. 75mph would put me right around 3400 or so. Not bad, not ideal either.
I can still average around 25-26mpg with steady highway cruising.1988 325ixComment

not when you reduce the tire profile as many newer cars have. As long as the overall diameter is good, there's no worriesOriginally posted by KIRIEIW View Post
it also increases rolling resistance, road noise, fuel consumption and the risk of damaging the wheels
