Something is wrong if that is all you are getting...

The only time I got 18 mpg was when I spent most time sitting in the traffic. Yours sounds like a severe short trips case if nothing wrong with your car, all cars suffer except hybrids.

Seriously, you should get better than 16...I get that in my 1983 K5 Blazer.

It sounds like i intentionally lie about my G's MPG to make it sound worse?
one tank of gas (~16gal) would only last me 250miles in NYC driving. That averages around 16MPG which is what the computer telling me.
If you want I could show you the receipt next time I go fill up.

Bingo. That's why I don't understand your complaint. So you felt like you could get 23 mpg in the 328i? If you are not moving, you get 0 mpg, no matter what car you are driving.

The best I got with the G was ~400miles for a tank and that's about 25MPG.
But that only happens when I go on trip with 95% highway with minimal traffic.

MSRPs are very close in $50K range, but keep in mind that they are very different cars target very different markets. No one would cross shopping these two. Apple to orange again, buddy?
I am not going to reject your assumption of "flog driving", as we definitely will see more reports of real-world mpg. But with complaints already floating around EPA's unrealistic mpg rating on turbo 4s, the Edmund's observation is legitimate in my book, but we will see...

These guys reviewing the 328i would most likely put it to the sport or sport+ mode to test the performance which disables the auto start/stop.

And... don't let BMW's marketing department get you again, I don't call a bare-bone car a "luxury" sedan with no luxury in it whatsoever regardless badges, but you did when I mentioned Evo/STi. I don't know how thing is now, but there was not even a power seat in the starter 328i not long ago. The $50K was borrowed from the article where all my comments were based on.
Again, please don't reply my comments all over the place, everything we are talking about has to have a context to begin with.
