Nice thread!

I'm stil in the First year with the iS- It runs til Feb before i've had it a year..

plans for 2012:

318is- Aims- 45mpg (imp) for 3 tank average, 50mpg Motoryway mileage

Active Eco-modding with particular attention to Aero (car sees approx 75% Motorway/fast A road)

Grill block
Undertray
m3 Mirrors (smaller frontal area)
Rear spoiler removal

Possible Cam Re-Timing for lower torque band
Warm Air Intake
Electric fan

Some Weight reduction (inc Driver!)
Possible Lowering


320i

This is my baby, so it'll hopefully be getting a "sympatheic" restoration and some ecomodding to make it more frugal to run in a spirited manner mods to be decided but aiming for consistant 40mpg (imp)



535i

This is the track car, so MPG is not really the goal (apart from driving to/from tracks!)

Still aiming for matching it's published combined MPG by hypermiling off track-Looking for around 25mpg (imp)

it'll be more weight reduction/shorter diff/lowering (on adjustible coilovers)/better brakes etc..

Aero may be looked at-

Front splitter
Undertray

for better grip on track
