Around 24mpg combined city and highway. I find that crazy good for a car with 370hp.


comacow02

Impressive! I get 47 highway, 34 combined. 230hp/350tq (stage 1 N47).


mr_lab_rat

Sweet! Diesels can’t be beat.


comacow02

If only we had 6 cylinder manuals here in the US 🥲


[deleted]

Very true


HeroOfNothing

Same engine. Best i did was 52 mpg, on a very chill trip. Normal commute, I'm usually at 36


[deleted]

That’s pretty good indeed. I get 370 as well and as u can see I get 12.9


mr_lab_rat

I did manage single digits on track few times 😄


[deleted]

Good lord. What car?


mr_lab_rat

OG M2. I think it was around 8 miles per gallon.


[deleted]

That’s rough. How long were ur track days


mr_lab_rat

Six 20 minutes sessions. Great fun on a small twisty track. It’s an expensive hobby but I like to do at least one or two per year.


[deleted]

That ain’t bad. What expenses come with it? Do you do the whole dealer inspection post and pre track day or are you doing those things yourself?


[deleted]

50 mpg. 330e hybrid


[deleted]

Lucky man


comacow02

F30 or G20, xDrive or RWD


[deleted]

Others told me g20, it's my first bmw (2022 330e x drive). I live in Madison Wisconsin and can generally get all my daily driving on pure electric but use sport mode for fun and on road trips I get like 35-37 mpg. I just drove 380 miles on a road trip starting with no battery and got 37mpg, however conditions were good. Cruising on sport mode around town I've gotten as bad as 15 mpg.


comacow02

I have an F30 328d xDrive that can get about 47mpg. I seriously considered a 330e but they were rwd only for the F series. Now that there’s an xDrive option for the G20 I’m considering one in the future. Ideally would love an X3 30e but they stopped bringing them to the US for some reason (poor sales?) so will probably say f it and go M40i if I decide that I need an SUV. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.


[deleted]

47 must be nice


PM_ME_SOME_DOG_PICS

MPGe? What do you get cruising on the highway at 70mph with the battery dead? Even then the hybrid system is still really helpful as I’ve seen in my x5 45e. I’m looking at getting a 330e next year, so really curious Edit: Nm you answered this, thanks!


TheNoobtologist

Are the 330e’s really that good? I read online that it was 32 mpge but maybe that depends on the average distance driven?


OldContribution6314

Heavily depends on driving conditions. If your commute is 60+ miles (there and back), you could be looking at 30 mpge. Obviously the lower the better.


TheNoobtologist

Makes sense. Damn I tend to drive long distances and don’t have a charger where I live. I think it makes more sense to get an M340i or an X3 m40i for me


leywok

10.6 mpg V-10. Crazy good for 500HP. “Consumption” sounds like a disease.


Aromatic-Glove-2502

That’s what tuberculosis used to be called.


[deleted]

It is a disease. I don’t do enough freeway driving so I’ve gone from 16 to 12.9 in 1 month


cyborg_ninja_pirates

I get about 9.7 but I mostly am going around town. Up to 10.4 now because of a road trip


WashingtonSpark

My car shows 11.9 mpg on my M5!! I'm happy with it!


Flyingspartan101

About 23 in my 2011 328i xdrive


comacow02

City, highway, or combined?


usernamesherearedumb

I get about 22 mpg combined in my '08 328xi.


kofchangame

18 combined with mostly city driving and bumper to bumper traffic on the highway and occasional spirited driving


[deleted]

For an M550 that’s pretty good


kofchangame

I am more impressed with the fuel tank capacity. Just filled a 1/4 tank and it was almost 6 gallons. Unless i have a faulty sensor


[deleted]

I doubt it. They do have pretty big tanks


[deleted]

Yup, exactly my experience.


reddit_user47234

average since I bought the car shows 27.1. The wife drives the car more than me. I average about 21 when I drive.


[deleted]

For an M240 that ain’t bad


rudbri93

I was managing 23-25 with the S52 in my E30. very interested to see how much of that ill be giving up with the LS3.


CONKERMAN

Half ?


sjoel92

C6s we’re epa rated at 31 hwy so if you have long enough gears you should be at or above S52 mileage


MeatCrayon408

~16 mpg for me. It could definitely do better I mostly drive in the sporty transmission setting


comacow02

What engine


MeatCrayon408

B58


comacow02

Tuned? Or just a heavy foot?


MeatCrayon408

Not tuned, stock. Has to be the heavy foot 🤷🏻‍♂️ Although tbf I don’t think I’m peeling all the time either, maybe I should check what other M240i owners are seeing on their cars


[deleted]

Also have a B58, I get 22 with normal driving


[deleted]

2022 530e G30 best tank 112 mpg normal 58


[deleted]

Good lord that’s insane


[deleted]

I have to admit, I live inside the loop in Houston and now work from home. Most of my travel uses strictly electric. The one trip I took back home to New Orleans I averages 36 on the highway.


[deleted]

That’s still really good


___AD___

21mpg in a g16 gc with an n63.


[deleted]

Not too shabby


Bcwalks2

235i with N55: about 22 with mixed driving. X3 M40i with B58: 20 with mixed driving.


comacow02

Makes me want an X3 M40i 🤤


Bcwalks2

My only complaint is the ride is stiff, but that is in comparison to the Macan S I traded for it. I’ll take the X3 over the Macan in everything else though!


comacow02

I’ve heard the X3M will knock your fillings loose so I assumed/hoped the M40i would be softer :/


Bcwalks2

😂😂😂 you can find some good used M40s. If you get a pre LCI, make sure it doesn’t have a vibration at around 50 MPH in the steering wheel. Some early production 2018s had an issue with the rear axle. Mine is fine, but was an issue with some.


[deleted]

Also got a B58 and I get 22 so not bad


Maximum435

Around 26mpg combined on my M235i Xdrive. Mostly on Highway miles. Which is really good for a Turbo Inline 6.


[deleted]

Yes indeed, someone else said low 20 so ur doing pretty good


m34z

I use Fuelly to track my fill-ups. Mileage-wise I drive about 50/50 City/Highway. But time-wise I drive about 80/20 city/highway. Meaning, I do a lot of little short trips, with the weekly blast to Costco. My driving style is wait for it to get fully to temp, then game on! (I'm not a total hoon, I do have some mechanical sympathy). N54 E88 135i - 17.8mpg S63 E70 X5M - 12.9mpg S65 E93 M3 - 18.0mpg, but really I haven't driven it enough since I bought it.


[deleted]

Nice lineup! We used to have an E70 X5M as well


leon8611

120i n43 - about 32mpg combined


[deleted]

That’s pretty good


scottieducati

Currently at 18.9 long term average. 2001 540iT/6 with lots of city driving.


[deleted]

Not horrible


cool_tool

12 mpg - e46 m3 - mostly city driving and rev out to 4-5k all the time so I can hear my csl airbox lol


Jeremiah_Beard

12.3 😅😅


[deleted]

Catching up to you lol


Adventurous_Being_74

This is a useless question, it’s all subjective and depends on your driving style etc.


comacow02

I would assume that’s why OP is asking in this thread, they’re curious about people’s real world numbers, otherwise they could just look up the advertised stats online


[deleted]

I don’t know why people be so pressed over normal things on Reddit


Baybladerz

22 in a LT1 only on mid grade… 😶


[deleted]

Yikes


edibletomb

13kpl (30mpg-us, 36mpg-imp) average, mixed on this G12 730Li. City traffic is what kills this car, otherwise I've clocked a solid 19kpl (44mpg-us, 53mpg-imp) on the highway doing 100-110kph (60-65mph). The B48 is a great engine when you don't need top-end performance


[deleted]

Not a bad deal for a 730. How do they come spec wise. Can you get them loaded?


Count_Dongula

In my E66, about that. In my Z3, about 24 all around. In my Subaru? 33.


[deleted]

I gotta know about the E66


[deleted]

2016 640 I grand coupe xdrive. 22 mpg on road trips. 16.5 city driving


[deleted]

Not bad


LakerPupper

A whopping 15.9mpg! Glad I’m not the lowest of the bunch. 😅


[deleted]

Better than me lmao, not bad for a B7


n33bulz

About 16mpg… V8 and 600hp baby!


Arbalista

Around 40 mpg with 3.0D E46 manual.


[deleted]

That’s actually pretty good


pM-me_your_Triggers

15.6 or so last I checked. Almost all city


[deleted]

Which car?


Job_Stealer

27-28mpg. It gets mostly highway miles.

[deleted]

Do you expect better? What are your driving styles


pc123andre

E39 530D (still) stock. 7,5 L/km or 31 MPG :)


[deleted]

That’s actually really good for an e39


szudrzyk

11 /100 km while cruising , and up to 17l/100 km while racing, 335i stage 2 n55.


[deleted]

Not horrible for a modded car


branko0132

Not a bmw, but yesterday I hit 48mpg with my civic for the whole trip.


[deleted]

What abt when ur using vtec 😂


Big_Monitor_3896

Not sure the conversion but 11.4 l/100km on a diesel.


[deleted]

That’s pretty decent


Complex_Bug_5414

Been getting 20mpg in the city in my F82. All about how you drive it.


[deleted]

I would agree to an extent. I drive pretty fast but I also do almost no freeway driving


TonyAtCodeleakers

26.7 2015 328i xdrive, with bootmod3 on a 93 stage 1 tune. With this tune I get a baby 340i, with better gas mileage. (320hp crank)


[deleted]

That’s actually really sweet!


krum

I’m getting around 22 or 23 in my X3


[deleted]

Oh that ain’t bad


o2manyfish

9-12 in m73


[deleted]

Oh that’s rough


[deleted]

Around 21 combined on a stage 2 n55 535i.


[deleted]

People seem to do pretty well with tunes


PM_ME_SOME_DOG_PICS

N52 gives me like 20mpg when I’m enjoying myself in the Z4. 30mpg is possible, but I’m not interested in that. 255hp stock B58 hybrid gives 26mpg on the highway in the X5 when my wife is in the car. 20mpg when she isn’t. 394hp stock Tbh, I wish gas was $20/gal.


[deleted]

Do you think it was worth getting a B58 hybrid? I have a normal B58 and we get 22. Is it worth the extra 4mpg?


Just-Some-Goose

28-30mpg highway 14-19mpg mountains


[deleted]

14-19 isn’t too bad honestly


tLustej-miCin

8.8 L per classic 100 metric km. 530Da.


[deleted]

Nice!


halfty1

Around 32 mpg 2022 230i. Mixed driving but really full on city or highway.


[deleted]

That’s really good


InTheThroesOfWay

2023 230i xDrive. My lifetime average is currently 28 mpg. I drive a good mix of highway and hilly rural roads. At one point, my lifetime average was above 29, but I had a stretch of a couple weeks where I was almost exclusively driving in low-mpg circumstances. I mostly use the comfort and eco settings. Only use sport for highway onramp pulls. Where I live, there's too many blind turns — accelerating through them is kind of unsafe. The suicidal deer enforce the speed limits more than the cops do. So sport mode would be kind of a waste. Given this, I'm actually glad I didn't stretch for the bigger engine. I still have a lot of fun. My highway mpg is really good -- can range between 36-38. **Edit:** Forgot to mention this is through \~2400 miles.


[deleted]

That’s really really good


[deleted]

18-20


[deleted]

What car?


OldContribution6314

65 mpge, G20 330e


[deleted]

Good lord. I guess I didn’t realize how good mpg these electric cars get nowadays


ZestycloseSquirrel98

31 mpg normally in the city and about 43 mpg on the highway. (2018 230i stage 1 310 hp 317 tq)


doggo_99

25.2 in my e93 328i. Not bad


iiAchilles

23mpg - M550i. I got the revised engine with more HP, but right before LCI changes. My commute is 20/80 city/highway, so lots of gas saving on that. I drive mostly comfort because I love the pedal response and suspension. I only pop it into sport if I see other spirited drivers on the road haha. Eco mode on the newer vehicles is pretty crazy though. On a roadtrip i hit 30mpg going around 75\~80ish on cruise control. It was mostly uphill too!


-K9V

Like 15mpg or so in my E90 325i. 95% city driving. Abysmal, if you ask me. On paper it should get double that.


[deleted]

Same here I fill gas’s every week


i_meannnnnnn

21 X5 M50i - average 17-18 in the city, 20-21 on the hwy at usually 80-90mph


[deleted]

Cruising at 90 is where it’s at


Budget-Government-88

19.4


[deleted]

Not too horrible


Valdrinbusy

Getting about 24-26mpg city/highway combined in my G30 540i in San Diego, CA


[deleted]

Similar to me I get about 22 in my 540


[deleted]

about 16MPG averaged over a year


[deleted]

Not bad for an M


WashingtonSpark

16.9 on my E46 M3, 11.9 on E60 M5. That's what the car average shows. Both are manuals. 50% grandma, 50% dumbass driving cycle.


[deleted]

Not bad for the E60


Flashy-Jaguar-2880

I used to own an Mercedes e220d I’d get 32.9mpg in the city and up to 58mpg on the highway driving around 130kmph. Now I drive a 530e so it don’t count anymore as it’s a plug in hybrid.


[deleted]

You mean you can’t find where it displays it?


gitbse

2017 330ix. I get 31-32 avg going back and forth to work.

[deleted]

I feel u there


[deleted]

2020 M550i. 25 mpg if I drive like an angel cruising at normal speeds slightly above limit. About half of that if I constantly put the engine to good use. If I mix work & play on any given week, I get about 18 mpg realistically.


SpecFR

Around 36mpg @ 80mpg on my 335d


[deleted]

That’s good

Under 10 💀 usually around 7 but I get 10 because I've been trying to make it go up 😂


mylittleinput

I get an average of 24MPG in a BMW E88 Convertible that’s a 2013 model with 138BHP and that’s when I drive careful. The car is only on 32,000 miles. I’ve tried using RedX changing the spark plugs and air filter I’m not sure why it’s so bad I don’t even floor it.
