Whats your real MPG?
Hey all,
Thought id see how my car matches up in terms of economy with other E92's I have a bone stock E92 335i (N54). Long motorway commute usually averages 30-35 mpg Around town i average 22-24 mpg Usually combined i get 25-29 or so dependant the long to short distance journeys ive done. Best mpg on a commute was 43-44, lowest was around 17. |

Average - 25 mpg Lowest - 18mpg Highest - 36mpg All dependent on the journey. I have a big trip in the summer, doing around 1500 in 7 days, I hope to get an average of 30mpg. |

Out of interest, my F11 535i with the same N55 engine has averaged 30.6mpg over 3-years and 24k miles. Motorway runs are rare, but my trips to Wiltshire are typically around 33 - 34mpg for the trip of 1,000 miles. Local use is typically 29 - 31mpg, according to season. I'm sure the 8-speed gearbox helps my consumption, but I do have more weight to shift of the line. . HighlandPete |

My 335i averages just over 29mpg, but I do a fair bit of motorway mileage. Suspect it's low 20's round town at best.

Highlandpete.
I get 36mpg on motorway and not driving higher than 70mph. Also being gentle on the power. But 25 is the most common with a full mix of town and motorway. And 18 is when I take for a serious fun drive. To be fair I don't care much about the mpg but with a trip to France this year I need to remember I need to stop every 300 miles to refuel. |

I wonder why the 335i and the 330i mpg's are so low, considering there are other 3litre cars out there that do far better mpg.

However the MPG for a 3.0 isnt bad in the 335 & 330 check most 3.0s from say audi or mercedes and they wont show as good as the bmws Compare for instance a M3 e46, golf R32 or any other similar displacement car and those mentioned dont look so bad especialky given the power they offer |

They aren't low. 30mpg from a 3l petrol in a 1600kg car is very good. Take a look at what Audi diesels get. People see 35mpg from a 2.0 rep mobile. |

Remapped E90 330d, my long term average is 36.3mpg over 4,762 miles, mixed driving, mainly town, A & B roads, not much motorway, tracked using Fuelly.
Best mpg I've seen was 51.3mpg average over a 210 mile steady motorway run.

Given that the 330i and 335i are only 5-7mpg behind the 330d and 335d on the whole, I'd suggest that they're not bad at all. Now my E60 M5 on the other hand......

The majority of 3l cars (>250bhp) will be hanging around mid to high 20s mpg. Unless driven on motorways all the time with no traffic. Quote:
