How the M3's sticker figure changed

Combined MPG by model year, 1989 to 2027:

RANGE 18 → 19·SOURCE EPA · 1989–2027

Combined went from 18 mpg in 1989 to 19 in 2027; the best year on file is 1996 at 21 mpg. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, so stickers printed before and after that year are not directly comparable.
