Im assuming you're in economy mode?? I haven't been on the forum for a few weeks and I was literally coming here to ask about mpg because I am averaging 13.4. I really only do around town but Jesus.... Is everyone else this bad???

I’m almost all around town and am 12-13. It doesn’t seem to make a difference if I grandma the gas or get on it (under 5k as I’m only at 800 miles). Highway is significantly better for most people. Just taking off from a stop is like 0 mpg. The left stalk button will show you the real time MPG in the lower cluster. Turn that on and see what you can do to improve or just say F it like I did lol. |

Yeah only in eco mode... I'm usually driving around in eco no matter what always seem to have sufficient power when I need it around town. Usually averaging 14-16 mpg |

Just finished a 120-mile highway trip (car only has 475 miles, so not anywhere near broken in) and got 19.6 running at an average 70-75 mph in ECON mode. Around town mostly 15 or so, but it's still new.

I'm not sure if it will get that much worse post break-in as when I was driving it to 2k maybe 3k it made no difference at all. |

Wow - those are horrendous. I know the S58 is not the B58 in the X3 M40, but this has to be 10+ mpg worse. I average 23 on my F80 6MT commuting about 80% highway, 20% suburban side roads. Anyone come from an F80 that knows the difference they're seeing with their X3 M?

20-20.5mpg in the UK is the average nearly every week since i got mine, can get lot more on a motorway run but still thirsty. Never got an M car for great mpg tho. I used to average about 31mpg in my 35d F25 X3 if anyone wanting a comparison.

I average 21mpg over 4400 miles (UKg) it's the long run MPG that isn't there my F80 M3 would do an easy 35mpg on a 200 miles run the X3M struggles to get to 25mpg.

12-13 mpg in mixed city driving is just about right. Anything more is a bonus.

I did manage to pull ~9.x L/100km (~26 mpg) on a highway run 120km/h for about 4 hours with the cruise control on and all the other safety bits. Dull, mindless drive but got good mileage...
