Hi all,

Nice site you've got here. I've been reading up on economy techniques on this site, and have gone for a partial grill block on my 2005 330i Convertible. I learned a lot on how to design the grill block on this site, so thanks.

Of course the 330 is never going to be a super economy car, but I just wanted to optimise what I've got, without changing the looks of the car.

So far it gets about 31mpg (US) at 65-75mph on the motorway (highway), but with the massive grilles up front I have made a partial grill block to see if I can reduce the drag and gain an mpg or two.

Will post a thread on the grill block.

Tim
