335i consumption

[WPBMW]

Why is everybody going or coming back from Durban ?

 

[Rusty79]

my Z4 M - I get 460kms / tank
my E90 330d - 600kms / tank - I blame the auto box.
my old E46 330d was the best I have ever had - everyday driving 900kms / tank and on a long trip 1450kms / tank I want this car back.:thumbsup:
Wifes 1,9Tdi - 2 door - 920 kms / tank.

Was this a manual 330d?

 

[WPBMW]

If I behave (very difficult) around 10km/l in town.

Holy petrol tank batman!
How do you guys get away so light? I have 13.0L/100km avg, and if I really really try hard I get 12.9?
That's roughly 50/50 urban/highway.

Same here.

Same here! Close to 450km's to the tank so far. I've only just got the car though so *might* still be flooring it a little too much.

I fill up my 135i to the first click, else they tend to over-fill it. I barely get 400km to a tank. Not sure if the 135i has a smaller tank to the 335i. I assume so?

I am getting just over 7km's to a litre. Not even close to 400km's a tank.

Driving in pretty bad traffic though. Even though only 9km's to work.

Long road is slightly better.

Worst tank: 290 km on 54l = 5,3km/l (track day)
Best: 550km on 55l = 10km/l
Average 450 on 55l = 8,3km/l

my average daily drive is 120km of which 60km is open highway at 6 am (R21) and 60km suburb traffic (hectic sometimes)

I drive as fast as the traffic allows me to drive

 

[maddox]

Only got 285 km's two weeks ago. Sitting in freaking traffic everyday!!

i use the cruise control alot, especially on the sections where i know the porkers sit........but my obc shows my average at 8.9 which is a mix of urban/highway driving but in freeflowing traffic... with that in mind, i get over 500km's to the tank

 

[pimpassdaddy]

Sheesh, only 400km? :thumbdo:

I'm getting over 600km out of my 325...

I'm getting over 600km out of my 325...

My last tank from mostly open road got 635km! Not bad for a 3.0i - worked out to 8.9 l/100 km! :thumbs:

 

[dlk001]

On my E92 335i with Auto I was getting 430 - 480 kms on full tank with 50% town driving and 50% out of town.

On my E93 335i with DCT, I'm getting 550 - 600 kms.

I have noticed fuel consumption improving a lot when I used same tire spec for all four tires.

 

[boost3d]

I think it also makes a difference which brand of fuel u use. I'm not a lover of bp but I get slightly more mileage from bp 95, then I get when I use shell v-power...


@dlk, what tyre pressures are you using on your tyres and what size wheels and tyre's you got on your ride?

+1...BP has been giving me better mileage.

On my E92 with 19", I was using 2.7 front and 3.0 back

On the E93 with 18", I'm running 2.2 front and 2.6 back

 

[prmateus]

I dont know how helpful this is but i have a n54 135i, and i get 12l/100km and thats driving shall we say enthusiastically

 

[skiet]

I get betweeen 450 ad 500km per tank.

12.7l per 100km in town
9-10l per 100km on highway at 130km/h

 

[WPBMW]

Between 11 and 12.5 in town and between 8.5 and 9.5 on freeway cruising at 140km/r
I drive as fast as traffic allows.

Thread resurrection :sorry:

So I've had my E90 N54 335i auto for just over a week now and my consumption is sitting at 14.8l/100km

I do about 60km daily all in traffic, no freeway. I friggen drive like I am driving Ms Daisy. Either there is something terribly wrong with my driving style and I am driving too slow :rollsmile:, or there is something wrong with the car. I can't see how guys are getting under 12.

The car does idle a bit rough when started from cold and if it is warmed up and idling at a traffic light I think I am hearing and feeling a bit of a miss. Think I must check whether the car has been for all the recalls especially the injectors.
