-Porsche aren't great with MPG yet even the 400bhp 3.8L 911 S does 20 and 27.

So 16 city is the same as the heavy, more powerful 4WD E63. The biggest issue though is that doing 24 mpg when taking a long trip means range is again going to greatly disappoint. Considering the pathetic range of the E9x, this really is a very poor showing from BMW.

I agree
