Drove from NYC to Boston MA, 450 miles round trip, in a 2014 328i Xdrive, averaged 28.6mpg using comfort and sport mode, very spirited driving with radar detectors on all the time.
Drove from NYC to Cape Cod, MA, 480 miles round trip, in a 2014 X1 28i Xdrive, same route, same driving style, 19.9mpg.
Same engine, same transmission, and the X1 28i sucked big time compared to the 328i in fuel consumption. Both cars were equally fun to drive.
