    E 320 cdi Estate 211 MPG - eek!

    Just swapped my 19mpg BMW 330i Petrol Touring for a 2004 E 320 Cdi Estate in the hope that it would be much cheaper to run. It's a new car to me, so I've given it the beans a few times, but I'm only getting 19mpg on the readout. I thought these were around 35 mpg? Remap? Chip?

    later 211 wing mirror dismantling

    I've been studying an earlier thread on 211 wing mirrors which seem a little different (2003/4) to my 2007 estate version. I'm looking to replace a cracked indicator and wondered if anyone here has done the job and has any advice about getting the painted cover off. TIA Godfrey
