E90 320D 2007 Well i get around 6.5 lper 100km in town driving and 5- 5.5 on the open road.


also like to mention that i often have a spirited drive in town and not only driving miss daisy. On the open road i set the cruise control to 130.

I would say it depends on your driving style and how many hours you spend in traffic. :thumbs:

I had both, in various models, there's about 1 - 2l / 100km difference with the 320d being the more fuel efficient one obviously. (comparing manual vs manual or auto vs auto)

Driven conservatively the 330d is not far off. My modded 330d gets me very similar consumption to a standard 320d on the open road (if not slightly better).

Here's the consumption at the end of trip to Durban.

What is your consumption daily ?
With normal and spirited driving ?

Here's a snap-shot on my consumption:

(Taken from here)

With spirited driving it goes to around 10l/100km. On the open road, with a "feather foot", I can get it to low 5's if I drive around 100km/hr. It all depends on how you drive.

This is great , from what I can gauge Software makes a big difference on consumption

Very helpful :ty:
Now to find one - your one is very nice :rollsmile:

How convenient that mine is for sale. And if you don't buy mine, at least I can sell you some Promotec software for another car to improve consumption :rollsmile: Just kidding - I'm sure I sound like a Bl00dy opportunist.

But anyway, on a serious note, if you can afford a 330d, it is sooooo much better than a 320d (which is not bad to start off with) and while real life consumption is slightly worse, the fun factor is so much more.
