Fuel consumption: 2010, 125i Auto Coupe
- Thread starter obbzie
- Start date
The possiablity of options could be a long.
See that it's still in motorplan have it checked out by BMW.
On other note, I've also seen some interesting results from the guys at Carbon Doctor.
After they have worked their magic the fuel consumption on some cars dropped down drastically.

Ive had my 125i Auto for 2weeks now and I'm averaging around 11.5l per 100km, and that's driving extremely conservatively so I find that really heavy.
im sending mine back to BMW tomorrow to have it checked out.
I have also noted that my first tank was Sasol fuel which gave me a lot more Kmz than Caltex (I don't know whether this is in my head or not):nonono:
gonna Try out BP when the car gets back and see how it goes.
Bud What sort of consumption do you get on your 330i?

N52 isn't direct injected so a carbon clean won't help.
These motors are thirsty in town but 15l/100km is waaay too much
. I've never seen such figures even when driving like an absolute moron robot to robot. I think around 12l/100 (town) 8l/100 (highway) is the norm, and I have almost 3 times your mileage and no bottom-end torque. Maybe the manual gearbox helps too .

I also thought it wasn't.
On my ex GTI I also noticed major differences in fuel....But it was quite the opposite, Shell gave me the worst KMs on a take but it felt great, Caltex gave me great mileage and felt just ordinary, engen also gave me relatively good mileage.
On the 125i Caltex is dead, Sasol was nice, I am yet to try out Shell and Engen on this car...Ill use anything that will give me 500km on a tankraise:

But on a serious note,,, I live 3.5km away from work so in essence I do a whole of 7km a day and my car doesn't even warm up so I drive changing at 2000rpm and I average 12.4l/100km
Yesterday I was doing some spirited driving on the way to watch the soccer and achieved 10.5l/100km.
I just don't get it....

That's heavy fuel usage! Shouldn't be that high unless you are simply sitting in traffic that is hardly moving all day long! These things HATE traffic and stop/start traffic.
Just for fun, check my car's econometer to see what my typical fuel consumption is based on the driving (and of course also CPT). I always reset my average consumption meter so, it tends to start high and work its way down, and this was after a fair amount of shorter town driving before taking her onto the N1.

Then later on just driving around some residential areas, I tend to try and keep my econometer under 10 l/100 km.

And yes, I also find that often, driving a bit harder and more assertively can be more frugal, but this comes down to getting up to cruising speed quicker, and then feathering the throttle to maintain speed. Also the choice of gears helps.
If the car is still under motorplan, I would have it checked - might be an O2 or MAF related issue. :thumbs:

I try not to mash the pedal when moving from rest, car doesn't respond anyway, rather use a certain amount of throttle and let the car "catch up" (if that makes any sense). I've managed to lower my consumption this way from when I first got it.
I have a manual though so it's easy to select the right gear for a specific situation. Obbzie could your autobox be at fault here somehow???
