I've just seen the "template" tool on the home page, and given it a whirl with both my cars..inspired by the "Tail" fever that's taking over the board at the moment
Over here in the UK, we're pretty restricted when it comes to modifying vehicles- full Kammbacks/tails would not meet with the approval of either the police, or other motorists- however, both the vehicles below are doing approx 75% of their mileage on motorways, so I feel aero improvements could be key to maximising MPG.
The 318iS is generally driven using DWL at between 50-65mph in light traffic. returning circa 38-40mpg (imp)
The 328i is driven P&G on LPG, and returns circa 23-28mpg (imp) depending on conditions. Mainly used in heavy commute traffic, average speed circa 35-40mph. LPG system is single point, so no DFCO available.
I've taken two stabs at each car re lining the template up, and would welcome input as to how gain could be achieved without causing much visual impact..BAF (Burd Acceptance Factor is in play on the 318iS!)
I've also included some generic front end pictures (the 328i touring is similar at the front to the other car, except for more cylinders in the engine bay!)
Cheers!
