Read the WELCOME ALL BMWFANATICS post.
335i consumption

And the lack of speed traps :biglol:
I always thought people who drive 335i's pretty much do it for the love of the raw power it delivers, with little regard for consumption. Or, more plainly put, if one could afford such a car, consumption matters little.
Guess I was wrong. :fencelook:
Must say though, after reading this thread I love my 320d even more.

All durbanites suffer the same when getting to marrianhill toll, must the cooler air.... :roflol:
Lol I might look like a durbanite, but I'm Jhb born and bred!
It's the first time I took the car down to the coast ! Amazing how well she responded to the ocean air.... :rollsmile:
THe F 30 335i sports auto
- about 8.3l/100km in peak traffic to jhb cbd on the M1 , a 35km trip {eco-Pro mode}
- same road leaving cbd at 14.00 , traffic free flowing and sped set to 100km /hr
I get 5l/100km {eco-pro}
My tank gives me around 750 km driving in a conservative fashion. Foot down I'm prob getting around 400-500km (Sports mode).
On average, my fuel bill is less then when I had my golf 5 gti dsg , that beastie used to drink fuel like its happy hour.
Due to speeding fines, an excessive speeding offence etc I'm well behaved on the roads these days
Rather leave hard driving to Zwartkops IMO.
I've heard the F 30 320d gives something like 3l/100km in eco-pro on a open road

I am taking mine to Margate for the first time on the weekend. Lets see what mine does? I have normally got good figures on open road, its town driving that kills the consumption. Best so far was my wife, 4 return trips to JHB from Vereeniging over 4 days she got just over 800km on a tank!!
I just replaced plugs and a oil change, fresh ocean air air can only improve matters....

So we just completed trip to Margate.
Trip down, 2 adults, my 2 kids and FULL boot. 120-130km/ph mostly with speedo cruise. 8.4L/100km.
I returned home with the help of some Fanatics and left my car for my wife to return alone with the kids.
She arrived yesterday, Margate to Vereeniging 2 kids and full luggage. She ave 7.9l/100km, so we can gather I am the weight behind the full consumption , all 87kg of me.
But I think excellent figures both ways, actually lighter on fuel than the 2.0l mazda 5 which did it at 9.7l/100.

My 3 fill ups since I got the 335i
Tank 1 = 14.3l/100km
Tank 2 = 16.0l/100km :nonono:
Tank 3 = 12.3l/100km :rollsmile:
Tank 2 I blame BMW. Car was in for two days with some issues I had. They must have thrashed the car during their "tests".
Tank 3 was done with holiday traffic i.e. minimal traffic during peak hours and more freeway driving than I normally do. So it's the stop and go 1st gear driving that kills consumption.
