Well that's bout 27mpg...

Depending, but if you driving style is heavy that's about right.

Your needed will drop right down as you touch the throttle and f your only noticing some at night your seeing condensation.

Wouldn't hurt to give her a full service and see if anything improves...

But as said...seems quite normal for. M57D30

why does the mpg needle go to 0 mpg though? and its not normal, just been speakin to a dude , recons his gets 150 for £20 quid,, 100 miles for £ 30 is 24 mpg ,, mmmm , maybe your right a good service , air filter etc would sort it a bit, but even hardly touchin accelerator , the needle shows 0mpg, can the mpg needle be trusted?

ive only had the cars 2 days , maybe once i get more used to it it will improve eh? plus its an automatic, with the 5 speed sport option,, i must admit to having been booting it a bit, although not too much really, im going to have diamond tuning do a diagnostics check on the cars ecu, maybe theres something simple up with it, or as you say a full service too, could be something daft like air filer , but to be honest the cars absolutely crackin

I have only had mine a month, and the computer is showing 25.2mpg. I will admit I have a very heavy right foot. My last car a Mondeo 2.2 tdci with a dreamscience remap done 30 mpg.

got around 88 miles just under a quarter tank, so i recon thats slightly less than 3 gallons, call it 30 mpg ,, thats not too bad eh? but on motorway its much better, wish i had got a manual car lol it would be easy 5 mpg better

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
