Not really a BMW related topic, but sort of.

A couple weeks ago I went with a friend to Vancouver, so that he could buy my cousin's Mini Cooper S. Cousing Jim replaced the Mini with a Jetta 2.0T (yuck).

No idea what the fuel economy was. We pretty much bombed throught the mountains at 130-140 km/h. The car was solid as a rock and really handles great. Nice gearing, and good power with the upgrades. For a drive like that, I preffer a larger feeling car, but driving dynamics considered, the Mini was awesome.
