Do not buy for economy, but it's fun to have that much torque!!!
The bigger engined 3litre 6pot beemers have never been great on fuel. They are far more performance orientated than their 4 pot counterparts, but buyers should choose the model accordingly of course... if you want economy, buy a smaller engined diesel, if you want performance as well, buy the bigger one.
You cant compare apples and oranges, its unfair.
My missus drives a 14 plate Nissan Puke 1.5DCi and it does 70+ MPG no bother, but then, it doesn't accelerate like this either...
LOL
