I've had BMWs since 2001,

Have a 2003 E39 M5, and bought a 2014 Jetta TDI as my daily
I was literally getting 55-60 MPG driving to Dallas/Houston and back
Was always wondering how, since it was only rated for like 42

Either way, dumped it cuz I didn't want major surgery to it .. mine didn't have the adblue thing, didn't want them to add it

Dumped it at Carmax for a 135is ... which now sits next to the M5

Probably should get another daily driver ...
While I was impressed with quite a few things on the VW, it aint no BMW
Biggest diff for me was the Seats, I could never get comfortable in the Jetta
Aching back if I was in it more than 1/2 hour
BMW Sports seats, they don't get any better

That and the Large Performance Jump ... BMW is quite an Upgrade
Night and Day diff if you ask me
