Oh I have RWD - could be why your mileage suffered. Mine's also a stick so not sure if the ZF 6 Speed Auto was any worse than the stick.

I agree thats why I am going to get rid of the N20 lol sounds horrible, N52 sounds much better indeed. That's crazy I was never able to get past 25hwy i guess it was the AWD ? I even had 16 RFT that could of been a reason too.

I find around town with the N52 I do about 18-20 mpg and highway around 30-32 mpg. I just don't like the sound of the N20/6 at all in any way.

It certainly is - pretty rare specification.

Oh the N52 engine I had that one, thought it was OK.. I so much prefer my N20 (better MPG) and more power the N52 was no way good in MPG for me anyway I could put it.
The 35i you have is special though!

They're fine - they have good grip, but can be a bit noisy. Given my druthers I would've done Michelin PSS, but they don't have them available in the OEM size for the X3 with dynamic handling.

No performance tune on the 328 as it's N52 and I don't see a point in messing with the car's drivability. It's good for every day and going to the train station - also a good road trip car with decent mileage.

Any performance tune for the 328 ?
Your X3 35i would be such a bad ass with a stage1 tune
How are those potenza? I have Conti DWS

Only thing that isn't stock on the X3 is that I swapped out the runflats (when they wore out) for Bridgestone Potenza S04s - it runs a 245/275 (front/rear) so the grip is great.

The 328 has a few things done to it: Dinan Stage 1 suspension, BMW Performance SSK, BMW PE, BMW Performance Intake, and Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

nice, well we have @[Crashnbrn5](contact:190207) driving his 35i lol as if it was an M3 .. would be interesting to see a 2011 35i vs 2013 35i vs 2013 28i vs 2014 28 .. is your 328 stock too ?

I'll look into it @[ROBNYC](contact:158124) car is completely stock with 56k miles.

u should join us in our next Meet/Roll-Out to Drag Strip/Hang-Out since there's barely any X3 35i in NYC on the forums lol.
