    1.6 tdi vs 2.0 tdi real world mpg

    Interesting that the official figures show the 7 speed making a noticeable difference to the 6 speed in the 2.0. Real world the gap doesn't appear to as big Thanks for the input guys. I'm guessing in the future the s tronic with more cogs will be fitted to the higher torque engines? Bmw now...

    1.6 tdi vs 2.0 tdi real world mpg

    Heated Wing Mirrors?

    So if I want the auto dip feature left on (I.e selector set to left) do I have to switch over to the heat position to get the mirrors to heat up? They don't just come on based on temperature?
