info on current 318i sedan.....

[Puny]

hi deanlim,

Current OMV for brand new 318i (non-sport) should be around 42K (24K parf (55%?))
Not too sure about the sport version though although I would presume it's not far off.

Cheers,
Alvin.

Currently getting about 8.7km/l to 9km/l with approximately 70% Expressway, 30% Urban traffic.

Full tank has been consistently giving around 550km if I go all the way (Never attempted thus far as I pump the moment the low-fuel indicator comes on at the 7/8 mark - 480km done).

As for maintenance, I have not had my servicing done at PML since I accquired the car and it's not due for another 8000km. I'm sure many of the owners here would have a better gauge than myself.

Cheers,
Alvin.

The servicing schedule goes like this:

Oil Service
Inspection I
Oil Service
Inspection II

and the cycle repeats itself...

The oil services are cheap, about $200+ incl. synthetic oil. The inspections are the wallet killers kekeke!

But service intervals are long, typically 20000km in between each type of service. So not so bad... :verysad:

I think the E46 318i valvetronics should do better than 9km/l. Three colleagues (all valvetronic) claim 9.5 to 11km/l.

Using the OBC (On-Board Computer), readout is 11L/100KM. translate to 9.1km/L. Results might be skewed cos using 18" rims. :screwedu:

Even when car was stock and on 16" rims, never got better than 10km/L. Usage pattern, 50% highway, 50% urban..
