Depends, how old a BMW are you looking to buy? The BMW that uses loads of fuel is now just a myth. Yes they used to use lots a petrol but if you are buying a modern one then they really don't. BMW have put a lot of work into making there cars economical but still as great to drive and still fast. Also depends on how you drive it, if you drive round with a lead right foot then of course it will use loads of petrol.

the diesel ones are very economical.
But if you want one get a 320 or heavier engine. The 316 and 318 fall out a little light for the body work of a 3 series

I used to own a BMW 328 and it averaged around 28mpg. It could get as much as 35 on the motorway though. A smaller engined one like a 318 will get a bit more but only mid 30s. The 2.0 diesel will get 45mpg and the 3.0 diesel about 40mpg average, both more on the motorway.

Fuel economy is about average on the 3 series across the board. You pay for the performance by compromising fuel economy.
When compared to the same class cars, BMWs tend to be a little heavier, too.
It's a good trade-off if you ask me.

I heard the "beamer" was coming out with a hydrogen combustion engine
zero petrol "sweet"
Don't know if it serirs three or not but you may want to get a beater and wait it may cost a bit more initially. might be worth the wait though.
