Well, I've now done nearly 1,000 miles in my 330i, and averaged about the same as you, mpg wise, just a hair under 30 mpg.

Coming from a 320d, the 330i is much better in every way, but there is a certain torquey feeling you get from diesels which isn't there (or isn't quite so apparent) on the 330i. Small loss, relatively speaking. As for the turbo lag followed by big grunt of power, I've found that, with the kickdown on the auto, you get a similar lag then a big boost of power.

Hard to imagine anyone finding the 330i 'not fast enough', but everybody's different. For me, it's plenty fast.
