[kyle323i]

Hi guys I'm new to this group my name is kyle...I need some help from you guys I have recently bought and e90 323i msports and my god is it heavy and I don't drive it hard ok may now and the but still its really really heavy like 17.5 being the lowest and sometimes 20.3 in the past month I have it I filled the tank 4 tyms and another 500r and another 500r I'm getting like 290km of a full tank...wat could be the cause...there is no powerloss I drove another 323i and its the same power so I really would like to know wat could be the cause maybe just a service even or something major thanks in advance

The 323i suffers from power loss at highveld, also is a 6 cylinder and will be heavy because of being a 6 cylinder and suffering at highveld. however, it is an auto or manual? I think you should still be getting lower around 12l/100km perhaps?

is the car in MP? when was it's last service and what is the car's mileage? who maintained the car if it is out of plan and have you done a major service on it when you recieved it?

Mis-maintenance could cause come high fuel consumption, dirty filters etc.

hope you come right bud but a 6 cylinder is such a sweet singing car but 400 odd from a tank seems normal as my bro-in-law had an 06 323i manual and around 450km on a tank and he was happy. long road was between 650km - 690km if he was lucky.

That consumption is way off. My ex 323i in daily traffic, 30% freeway and 70% peak used to return 11.6l/100km in town.

If u mean by highveld driving at high speed i even took the car 240 and was perfect i bought it from nissen and there are service records of the car thats why i juat wanted to find out if a service can cause heavy fuel consumption...its gna be due for service in about 4000km....wat is the best oil to use

 

[AshG108]

Yes dude, then that service could be possibly causing it depending what hasnt been done before on time etc

My dads 323i does 8.6L per 100k's, mostly highways and long distance driving.

If I fill R300 in the E90 323i with daily use in peak hour traffic in getting around 400km and its auto.

I have N52B25 325i auto, 450km per tank in northen JHB. Avg 12L/100km

yep my ex e90 323i averaged around 8.5l/100km, do a service and drive the crap out of it...literally :rollsmile::roflol:

OP - Get codes read. With consumption like that there is more than likely going to be a fault code. Possibly your thermostat has failed (In the open position) which means your car never gets to operating temperature and runs too cold.
