If it does, i'm sure bmw comes equipped with it. 600 to 630km in town drive, don't think any 328 can do that even brand new and how light footed u can be unless you have had the engine dynamically balanced or blueprinted.u can be light footed all the way by feathering the accelerator but u will still need  to get it moving to by applying at least 20-30l/100km from standstill and takes a while to move up to 4th gear and than try to keep it to maintain at 8 or 10l/100km to keep the fuel consumption very low. but travelling between pj area, i think u will run out of road most of the time before u can even achieve that low fuel consumption. unless u're travelling at the time where there is no traffic at all or don't need to stop. pj area always jam at certain hours, if u're caught in the jam, engine is idle. mixture will always run rich when engine is idling. The best i can get is 450km and the indicator will light up. after that about another 100km and refuel. after refueling, can calculate roughly about 5 litres left in the tank.my engine is completely rebuilt, everything new, from pistons rings right up to cylinder head and injectors and ignition coils, u name it, i done it. spent close to 80k to fully rebuild the vehicle and i don't get close to even 600km. if a 300 bucks vs can give that sort of improvment, i think i was dumb to spent that amount of money earlier.</blockquote>
