Re: petrol consumption
Well worth getting fault codes read. As a faulty sensor could be causing you to use more fuel. We have had tk replace the exhaust and now the inlet one has gone and on both occations mpg dropped to 21mpg

Re: petrol consumption
We have the 3.0 Z3 and get around 28mpg on short runs and around 32mpg on long runs. The 3.0 is supposed to be the most economical on mpg over most of the other Z3s. A lot depends on how you drive, if we do a spirited drive then it drops to around 24/26mpg

Tim i believe if this was fitted to the 1.9 and 1.8s then you would also have to modify the rear bumper. They do look nice though and as Southernboy says below half price of what you would expect to find them for.
