There is no way the 35d is getting 38mpg combined. 28.7 is much more realistic and will am going to say the BMW will rate it 27-28 mpg combined with the EPA rating it 26-27 combined.
I dont want to start debate, but you got my post twisted around in so many ways
I never said "combined" mpg, i always used city/highway US standard
and 38mpg was plain conversion from your 45.6 number.
And if you look at my estimate in bold, i said 35 highway, which is realistic IMO
i think "combined" for 35d, should be around 27-28 US mpg
