Should I buy a BMW 840 CI?
I want to buy a BMW 840 which has done 133,000 miles. I'm not sure about the fuel consumption, as some say it does 16mpg. Can you please advise?

See Car-By-Car breakdown entry. 8 Series models like this spend long periods broken down because their owners cannot afford to repair them. I fear this scenario will befall you if you buy it.
Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
