335i consumption

[prospect]

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.

Mine's also sitting comfortably at 14.7l/100km. I love the car but this is insane considering I only push it once a week on average.

I dont own one....yet ...but I reckon you should look into the carbon cleaning offered by carbon doctor. Just read kish's post regarding this and his consumption figures seems great.

Bud, when I also got my n54 I thought the plugs were toast with that mis you talk of, but it seems its an n54 trait, it's almost like the engine shivers for a fraction if a second...

Sheesh, only 400km? :thumbdo:

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

Yip me too if I try hard, and drive fairly coservatively.normally get around 550km/600 km on a tank with my e92 325i Step!!:rollsmile:

I use to get in the region of 500kms on my e90 325 doing mainly urban driving. I think the auto gearbox has a lot to do with the higher consumption.

Eager to hear what the F30 guys are getting on their tanks?

Yep, shiver sounds about right.

With the amount of mileage I do this will mean an extra tank a month compared to the 320i I had. For the level of enjoyment I get it is a small price to pay.

 

[335i Lci]

Long distance 680 km or therabout, n55 manual

 

[S1NGH 001]

Carbon clean is what some of you'll need :idea:

 

[Kish2604]

Ditto on what Singh001 said, have a look at George's year end special, it's at a price that will not be repeated and lower than the group buys that have been arranged before...

 

[Dees_13]

on my 435 i got 380km on a full tank but the car is still new. That was with some spirited driving as well. on my second full tank and im looking around 480 - 520km this tank.

Consumption is dropping everyday, right now its at 16.1 from the 27 L/100km when i first got the car

 

[Chavoos]

Mine is at 11.5 right now because it's been recently reset and includes some insanely high speed runs and horrific bumper to bumper traffic. but averages at about 11. However I do a fair bit of highway driving combined with some very spirited driving.

11.5 raise: I struggled to get that with my E90 320i :rollsmile:

I would love to do the carbon thing but will have to wait for the next time it is done in Cape Town.

BMW loaned me a 320i 2 years ago and I averaged 12.1 :bangdesk:

 

[LukeS2K]

I average 12l/100km but if I behave I can get 11's.
Long distance it should go right down to 9l/100km or even less.
N54 e92 auto

I managed 8.8 on the way to durb's using the cruise control and having no choice but sticking to the speed limit , it was actually 8.6 as I got to Marion hill plaza but some spirited driving bumped the consumption up a little

Guys please state your x35's transmission type, i.e. Manual/Lazy Auto/ DCT. We need to find the money bleeding culprit, which I suspect is the lazy auto.

Yep mine is the lazy auto.

 

[akash]

In traffic on the the way to Sandton from Midrand, the car gets around 11.5L per 100 kms on my last durban trip i got 7.5l per 100kms.

I have the steptronic auto box.
