Hi, I also have an 18i and started off with horrible consumption, compared to my 120i, which basically has the same motor. Anyway, the 18i is an auto, and I'm at coastal level using 95 unleaded petrol. I have recently managed to achieve 9.2l/100km with conservative driving in highway/urban conditions. I have to admit though, that I was hammering the car initially. Ultimately though, this engine has no business in a big car like this, and I find it revving up too much to pull it's weight. BMW should have at least tuned it a little more.
