real Fuel consumption for 318I

[emiffy]

been discussed extensively liao...

318ia E46 valvetronic can do 10.5 to 11.5km/L, more dependent on driving style than anything else. Rims make some difference. 98 RON recommended. 95 can work, but performance suffers in real-world driving. One tank gets you 450-600km, again, depending on driving style.

320 and above... ahem...

Re: real Fuel consumption for 318I

hi all,

i am a new owner of bmw 318i. havent gotten my car, just book yesteday.

few questions:

1. what petrol grade are u guys using? 98 or 95 RON?
2. On paper, combined, 318i spec said they can do 12km/l. however, i doubt so. the sales told me around 9km/l. which is quite a lot of difference. can someone share they mileage per tank?


thanks for the info.

Wait till you get your car and you tell me

I believed 9 to 9.5KM/L is very good for 318i and 7 to 8KM/L for 320i.

Of course above are very general information and depends on many factors.

See you around !

the range should be in between 9km-12km/l, not to worry so much since the fuel tank is big in our car. pump full tank u need $80+. :laughlik: enjoy the ride is more important !!!

I'm driving 318i sport edition, 6-weeks old, 17" stock rims.

My consumption is about 11.2 litres/ 100km. This is based on my best effort to be easy on the gas pedal. This reading is taken on 2 separate samplings, and the results looks pretty consistent. :|

12 litres/ 100km. I think this is quite difficult unless you go to the extreme like switch off aircon, same speed all the way for a tank-full etc, etc :uhhh:

What is ur color? how much did u paid? any problems so far? u should be still running in right? can't ram yet. may be that is why fuel consumption still low. full tank $70+ for 550km?

hitmee,

you may want to note that the OBC figures and real-world figures could differ by as much as 20%.

i.e., pump to full tank, reset the trip meter, drive, refuel (get # of litres) and distance travelled, and then do your calculation from there. The number could be different from the OBC.

My real life case: I reset OBC, refuell, drive, tank empty, refuel, OBC says 13.8L/100km, real world calculation was 12.5L/100km. After 4 more tanks, the OBC was closer to 12.8L/100km, and real world calculation average 12.6L/100km.

Maybe OBC needs to stablise after a while...

OBC take average count ! For instance, u need to use OBC Easter Eggs functions to see.

Mine is black, paid 139K and given original PDC, 4K overtrade, solar films worth $700. no problem so far. i was told no run in needed.

On FC, it was said in this forum that the FC should get better after some mileage. Not sure how true it is... but let's see...
