metro 0 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Currently driving a 525i m sport and thinking of upgrading to a 528i or 530i motorsport after reading some reviews that rave about them. Wondering though what sort of fuel consumption around town I could expect from the larger engine. Any info would be much appreciated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wondering though what sort of fuel consumption around town I could expect from the larger engine. Any info would be much appreciatedWe get about 12L per 100k around town from an E39 530i facelift with 250,000 km on it. Interested? It is for sale but alas, it isn't a M'Sport.

318Touring 40 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 Search the forum for the topic discussing fuel consumption. My E60 530i, same engine as E39, does 12-15l/100km city driving. Also dependent on the driving style. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 (edited) What sort of gas mileage do you get out of the 525? out of interest. As most of my running is country and a little town 60/40 say I'm getting 700-750km to a tank, 02 530i. about 9.4 to 10ltr per Try this under General Discussion Fuel Consumption city driving only.

martyyn 2 Report post Posted March 19, 2008 The 740 gave me 17mpg and the 528iT gives me 20mpg which is 90% city driving. I cant honestly see the fuel consumption being that much different to be honest. Whats a couple of mpg over the life of the car ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When i drove down to waihi beach for new years in my car i reset the Fuel consumption computer. The car has been driven around town mostly, and now reports an avg. of 10.1 litres/100 km Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 20, 2008 i honestly think the greater torque of the 528 530 would offset the capacity...the only way this would not be true is if you spend lots of time stopped and idling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Am getting around 480 - 500km out of a tank driving around town. OBC currently telling me I'm travelling 7.2km per litre. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
