Comparing it to the M3 is difficult as they are such different cars for different purposes. I think it just depends on what you want right now from your motor.
For me, these days I'm probably more a "5 series" person. The M3 is a fun capable car but 18.5mpg is getting silly now. And I dont clogg it any harder than my old 335d (well, you cant this time of the year in the cold damp weather!). This is around town mpg where I do most of my mileage and I didnt think it would get this low (maybe if you drove it hard, granted - but I dont).
When you are talking about hanging onto the gears, do you mean in auto mode, in gearbox setting 2 or 3?

Yep in auto sports mode, which it will do it's just that you can't drive it day to day like that.
