With my pretty heavy right foot, I get an average of 40-42 mpg, but that’s only when motorway driving is involved, around town, usually 30-32 mpg. If I drive steadily 30mph in fourth gear, I get about 60 mpg on average.

I love not having DPF on my car.

Your are correct, I must do a disclaimer here. This was conducted on my privately own peace of road, which the road traffic act does not apply. And even if it did, I would just ignore it and get on

It was 27 when i picked it up just over a week ago, and now its already dropped to 26! Its never gonna be very high driving it around Milton Keynes. Short journeys and lots of stop/start at the roundabouts.

I didn't buy it for fuel economy though!

I'm relieved to see your post, Daren. I looked through all the other comments a while back and ran away, because I average 26 too, and it does go up to about 35 on a run, but thats only a steady run up and down the M3 London and back, and as soon as I get inside the M25 it plummets down again!

21.5 mpg for me but that's what signed up for lol

That's good for an M3 ha! Guy at work rarely got more than 19mpg from his e46 M3.

And bear in mind that the E46 M3 is imo one of the best looking BMW's ever!!!

My 320d ED gets around 44-50mpg around town and about 67-73mpg on a run.

E61 530d tuned I average 42.2mpg but at a steady 55mph for a 80mile journey my average for that one trip was at 62mpg. bored out my brain though but worthwhile experiment. note I get better fuel economy from mainstream garages, BP, Shell etc and only get 38 from supermarket diesel. pay more but get further.

That's impressive for a 530d. Is the tuning a remap?

Bet it goes like a stabbed rat!!

Yes it is a remap, now up to 296bhp or thereabouts can't recall but close to 300 anyway with 500nm of torque. yes it does go like a stabbed rat when required.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Z3 airbag wiring,

      Hi Jay You will need a Diagnostic Program to turn off an Airbag light if someone has triggered the light that could also be the issue Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave
