8 mpg on a hot lap at the ring
16-18 mpg city driving
20-22 mpg highway
24 mpg on absolute best behavior and more down hills than up.
25% should net me
10 mpg on a lap
20-23 mpg city
25-28 mpg highway
possible to eek out 30 mpg when the stars align and i havent had breakfast?
how does a 335i or 1M do? I guess that would be close to new F82?

Can't really comment on what BMW marketing says, except you'll definitely get better mileage - everywhere except on track. You've got to feed all the ponies you're using (something called BSFC - Brake Specific Fuel Consumption), so you're likely to get similar mileage on track as you have before.
