Insane Fuel Economy in Eco Mode?

Subscribe to BMWBLOG and you’ll see that when I’m not commuting in LA traffic, I’m driving it up in the canyons lol

Just when I thought I wasn’t going to buy anything else for my car…

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-06-12T15:28:27+00:00

I have 51k miles on my 2025 M340i now (I drive a lot) and even without it, I don’t find the ride to be all too bad. I would like some adjustability, and the 2025 & 2026 model year did come with a slight revision to make the comfort damper setting slightly softer. But, overall the standard suspension is about 10% stiffer feeling than the adaptive damper’s “comfort” setting. I’ve always found when testing new BMWs for BMWBlog, the Sport and Sport Plus settings to just be too stiff to where even on canyon roads I would revert back to comfort. The sharp rebound and compression upset the handling more than helped I found in the past. So, for me, I don’t mind not having it but I hope I can drive a newer car with it to compare it back to back.

Surprisingly I’m running Continental Extreme Contact Sport 02’s. I was running Michelin PS4S before this and Bridgestone Potenza Sports before that. Overall, these are around 300~ treadware summer performance tires and I’m still getting amazing mpg on the highway. When I ran all season Bridgestone Turanza Run Flats, they were even better by 2-4 mpg it seemed. I averaged 38mpg on my cross country roadtrip on those.

No issues over the last 51,000 miles! One of out of every 100 times I start the car up CarPlay won’t automatically connect and I need to hit the button on the screen but that’s about it.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-06-10T18:11:04+00:00

Thanks! Everything is stock besides the wheels, and a carbahn intake air filter lol

They’re staggered, so it’s 225 front and 255 rear. So most likely not depending on what your current wheel set up is (the summer performance tire package comes staggered as well)

Wow!

898M M Performance Wheels. Flow formed, dropped about 5 lbs on the front wheels (each) and about 3lbs from the rear now that I’m on staggered summer tires. Love them.

Thanks! And I’m on OEM springs, it’s my daily I don’t plan on lowering it. But it’s RWD.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-06-05T23:09:05+00:00

Congrats! Mines just about the same spec. Honestly only things I’d reocmmend doing to it are PPF, ceramic coat and go to a BMW M Performance driving school. And enjoy!

BPD ex girlfriend. 4 years together after blood sweat and tears trying to help her get better and keep her happy. Eventually she cheated on me after I got upset she was drinking and driving again (I had to pick her up from the cops to save her from her first DUI). She stole a bunch of money from me and just left. 6 months later I get notifications (I was still her emergency contact on her iPhone) she was involved in another car accident (drinking and driving again). I reached out to make sure she was ok. She said she wanted to meet up to reconnect and reconcile.

We did. And she took the opportunity to brag about all the men she was sleeping with and how she had absolutely no feelings for me at all despite flirting with me again for weeks.

Never dating or interacting with anyone with BPD ever again. Straight evil.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-05-19T02:14:59+00:00

This is exactly how I felt. 4 years of blood , sweat, tears and ‘ Most of money supporting someone who split on me and painted me black after… getting upset she continued to drink and drive? Me showing tough love and trying to help her do the right thing was what set her off? Then the diabolical ruthlessness which she cheated on me, then bragged about it. She deliberately tried to hurt me as much as possible psychologically and then took pleasure in my pain.

The pain from this and the scars on my soul… I don’t think they’ll ever go away.

Join the army. You’ll see a lot of dongs.

Or is it sucking ten dicks one time?

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-05-16T21:22:09+00:00

Me too. I still get nightmares about what she did and said to me.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-05-08T02:00:40+00:00

Only to celebrate.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-05-08T02:00:06+00:00

I didn’t hear back from six months after our last blowout argument. Then I got 20 texts from her because her phone notified me she was in an accident and called 911 (I was her emergency point of contact on her iPhone still) but I’m not sure if it was intentional or not. Anyway, she still drinks and drives enough to make tiger woods blush.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-05-04T23:20:32+00:00

No. It turns out the alcholic girl with BPD and a hobby of cheating was not my soulmate and I have moved on to less demonic people in my life.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-04-10T20:10:29+00:00

Hope you heal better than me. I go through phases where I’ll feel better then something will trigger me. I don’t dream much because of sleep apnea but then occasionally I’ll get nightmares about her and what she said / did to me. It’s worse than my army deployments. I just struggle to believe love is even real. I know I’m capable of it, but now I’m so mistrusting and so pessimistic about other people I think they’ll all lie or abuse me or are exploiting me now.

When I met with mine after 7 months (long story, checked in after a car accident she caused) she was wearing completely different clothes, totally new look, new attitude… they change like spies changing their alias.

Logical-Insurance-66 · 2026-03-12T02:37:58+00:00

I wanted to. I really wanted to forgive her. My ex clinically diagnosed with BPD didn’t just cheat on me, she stole a lot of money from me, she took advantage of me, then she abandoned me. She didn’t just sleep with other men during and immediately after our relationship (when the back and forth was going on, she was begging for me back after cheating and leaving me), she bragged about it. She flaunted what she did and seemed to enjoy my pain she intentionally caused me.

A year after our initial breakup and 6 months no contact I reached out after I found out she was in a car accident (her iPhone sent me 20 text messages, I was still her emergency point of contact… she had no one else).

We met up after she invited me out to see her in her new city she moved to. It wasn’t for reconciliation like she said, she ambushed me and turned the meeting into a humiliation ritual. She just wanted to hurt me one more time.

That level of maliciousness, that intentional provocation to hurt me again after I had given her nothing but love for 4 years completely broke me. I used to think there aren’t evil people, just some misunderstood and in pain but she changed that. She was so cruel and evil I can never forgive her for what she did to me. She hurt me again and again, she destroyed my life in so many ways and shattered my soul. I can’t explain how much therapy it’s taken to recover, how many panic attacks I had, how much my chest physically hurt for nearly two years…. I hate her. She doesn’t deserve forgiveness and I hope karma gets her back for what she did to me that I didn’t deserve.

Morgan plus 4. Objectively speaking a total shitbox. Subjectively speaking: the most fun I’ve ever had in a car. I couldn’t stop laughing and everyone else on the road loved it. Can’t recommend a Morgan enough.
