OK guys. I was wondering what other drivers are getting on L/100km to find out if our cars are running in the right region or not.
So I will start

E90 320d 2006
software remap
6.9l/100km
Average driving with a heavy foot now and then.

I wish I could answer that but I bought the car with the remap done but i must say the power is very impressive compared to a standard 320D.

Is there a big difference in consumption terms between manual and automatic transmission? I'm wondering if its because I have an automatic 320d that my consumption is so much higher than I originally anticipated.

Can anyone share their thoughts?

Had a 320d manual and auto (E46), at least +50% between auto vs manual.

My 335i auto, best 10l/100km ave 12,5l100km and worst 15l/100km, my driving is split 50/50 and driving as fast as traffic allows, my car is on 37k km and going for the 3rd set of rear rubber:cry:

Thanks Jacques. The only reason I got the automatic was because the JSN sales rep recommended it, apparently resell value of manual BMW is rather crap.

Also had the e46 330D manual nad E90 auto, in town its heavier, but on my out 330d, I managed from JHB to South coast, fully loaded with 2 kids and gear...... 1,053 km and refueled 56 liters:thumbs:

I personally experienced that the auto's are more frugal on the open road, and hell of a more comfy

Really?!

I thought that only applied to Mercs. Especially because BMW makes manual 5 series cars and at Merc, once you buy an above midrange C-Class, auto is standard

My 2006 320d was averaging 5.8l/100km for January and most of Feb, but the last week in traffic has caused to to shoot up to 6.7l/100km.

This is mixed freeway and town driving. Car is stock
