    Z3 Gas Mileage?

    My dad just bought a new truck and he is wants to get something that has better gas mileage. He is really looking at Z3's. He travels a lot and is wondering what the gas mileage is with the different motors in the cars. He loves the six but he thinks that the 4 will get better gas mileage. Idealy he would get the MZ3 coupe so he could hang his suits in the back but what gas mileages do these cars get?

    Thanks

      M roadster 19/26
      Z3 2.8 19/26
      Z3 1.9 23/31

      The 2.8s are a ton of fun, never driven the 4 banger though

                    I believe that there was in the later years.

                      Yeah, it had the amazingly small M52 in it.

                          The 4 bangers suck ass, no power. The 2.8 moves out well and the later cars with the 3.0 were down right fast. They all handle pretty well.

                            23/31 for the 1.9? Odd.

                            I get a good 28/35 with the 1.9 in the Ti.
