FC and petrol grade for F20

[zeromax]

Guess quite a few of us had already got our F20.. Would like to check how is your FC so far.. is there a difference between ECO-Pro, Comfort and Sport?

And which petrol grade are you all using?
thanks!

If you save $2 at the pump every week, your BMW is free after 2,000 years!

Re: FC and petrol grade for F20

I have done 3800km in mine (118i) since Christmas.
Overall average : 11km/l (all modes)
Best : 13.5 km/l (mainly eco-pro)
Worst : 9 km/l (Sport & comfort mode)
Mainly city traffic, 15% highway.
Petrol 95RON Caltex
Oh, and my auto start/stop doesn't work anymore. Must be I kept switching it off during traffic jams (too frequent move stop, move stop)!

Re: FC and petrol grade for F20

I didn't bother as I don't mind it off all the time! Actually I find it annoying when the engine starts suddenly, or switches off just when it's time to move again in a jam! Don't know how much I lose in FC, but I guess they will fix it when it's time for service....

Re: FC and petrol grade for F20

HI,

My 116i coming to 2500km.....

FC so far :

Best 13.8km/l
Worst 10km/l
80% City, 20% Highway

Using Esso 98.......

How to "spoil" the Auto Start/Stop? I want it......

Was told by PML that they can programme it to default "off". But they need me to put car there for 1 full day for the programming to be done......

yep... that is kinda true... Also, with the start/stop, I dunno if it will harm the engine in any ways, i.e shortening the lifespan of the spark plug and filter...

Why dun you do it together with the service update for our ride? kill two birds with one stone

And that is a pretty good FC you have there, for a 80% city

Can. My SA said can. But must sign a form saying u initiated it.

Must bring both keys and leave car there for 1 day.

They will programme it to default off....

Wah, must sign black and white, later engine got problem also say we initiate it too because we turn off something that comes from factory.

Leave there 1 full day so same day can collect?

Re: FC and petrol grade for F20

IMHO, BMW = Ultimate Driving Machine. Full throttle all the way & hence with FC. Pump 98 and above only.

No matter, none of you can beat my E39 520 in the city. Nvr higher than 7km/L.

Re: FC and petrol grade for F20

My 116i FC is 10.5km/L with 50% City, 50% Highway. On Ron98 Caltex.

Think I will go for 98 after I change the engine oil... Hope for a smoother pickup and better FC perhaps?
