Lol...Same here, I would be worried if my Z3 drank like I did

Yeh, that's not too dissimilar to mine when driven around town and put under hard acceleration. Motorway is definitely better and can achieve high 30's at a slightly slower pace than everyone else Also, if you have the autobox version then this would traditionally return lower MPG than a manual (seems to be the other way now with modern autoboxes)

I have the 2.0 litre version and it returns on average 30mpg on extra-urban run. Doesn't change much on motorway driving but tend to stick to around 60mpg as the 6 cylinder seems to enjoy those revs at that speed and being 23 years old there's little point in thrashing it to destruction. 24mpg on semi-urban driving is not unreasonable for the 3.0 litre engine. I assume yours has the 5 speed manual transmission?
