City driving + riding it hard + 15 mile commute each day = my gas per month costs were going up compared to what I had before and now. There were some other extenuating circumstances involved too, but that was the bulk of it. It got, what, 15mpg estimated in city by Ford? Yeah...that isn't including how I drive from a light. 4 tickets in two years. I don't think the BMW was rated that much better IIRC, but I've always done better in gas per month on my budget.Horrid gas mileage? Did you forget to shift out of first?
My big mistake was not waiting for the 5.0 the next year as I bought the 2010 before I knew about the upcoming 5.0 that has phenomenal gas mileage. It was a spur of the moment purchase on a Friday night after dinner. It was so much fun to drive though. I miss it from time to time.
Regardless, the beamer wasn't necessarily a great purchase in light of she and i splitting up and shit like that that went on.
