My wife drove a 2010 320i. The odo hovered around 14l per 100km, and this over short distances. I now bought her the 316i auto. The odo now hovers around 10l per 100km. I drive the car and I get around 8l/100km(town) and 6l/100km on the highway. I put the high usage down to her driving style paired with driving a cold car. By the way, the 316i performs much better than the E90 320i. A friend of mine drives the new 320i and he says that even when he hammers the car it never goes above 12l/100km.

Hi guys,
Posted the fuel consumption on BMWSA facebook page....Phoned me the next day. The service manager from my dealership contacted me. I must take my car to them on Monday. The manager and I will be driving the car. He will do a couple of test(probably to see if I drive like an ass....) He will advise BMWSA technical team and they will take from there. BMWSA opened a case file and they contacted me to follow up.
Maybe I can get the Harmon & Kardon sound system at a discounted price.:joy:
Hope they sort it out and don't give me a stupid answer.
Thanks for all the suggestions and "support". I will keep you posted!!

Just got 15.6l/100km on the last tank on a F21 125i:shocked: Only 4000km on the clock though.
I'm not particularly concerned about consumption, lots of short trips, a bit of thrashing and lent the car to a friend on friday night and told him to have fun with it...
but it does seems a little on the heavy as it's not like I'm driving on a track all day.
That puts it at about 4l higher per 100km than my golf GTI. and the engine does have stop/start which should help (although the GTI indicated the engine used about 1l/ hour of idling with the aircon on, also a turbo 2l 4, so not a huge safer for such a complicated feature).
Either way I'm just in denial for now cause I can see this turning into a mission. Even a cruise on the highway on a reset the trip screen resulted it a higher than "official" figure, although not bad.
I'm hoping this problem will just go away cause it's a new car yet my moms 528i, same engine, bigger body, same mileage also similar short trips but a better driving style is on 11.8l which is a nice drop down from the 13l odd she got on her E60 530i.
As for me, my car is many things but not efficiently dynamic right now. I hope this doesn't turn into something that requires trips and fighting with dealers about.

Billybob, we all know you drive fast all the time. LOL.
I drive like an old man.
But yes, when I do drive her hard, the highest I have ever seen my consumption was 15L per 100km.
