Can anyone explain why the difference in 2019 X3 sDrive30i MPG?

The city is better with the 2020 model but highway is slightly worse with the 2020. Since most of my driving will be 80% citiy, does it make sense to spring for the 2020? Isn't the car using the same B48 motor?

2019: Up to 23 city / 30 highway
2020: Up to 25 city / 29 highway

If you drive 10000 miles/year and 8000 miles is city, the difference between the cars for city driving is 27 gallons. At $2.50 a gallon, you will be talking about $67. The amount is even less when you calculate the slight difference in highway mpg. Buy the car based on which one you like, not the mileage/gallon difference.

To the original questions:

1. It doesn't matter in my view. Buy the car that appeals most to you.

2. Yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_X3...–present)

It's probably a variation in the testing protocol . Meaningless in the real world.
