pjay 8 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 I get 550 easily to the tank driving to work and back each week. In traffic.. Used to get up to 750 on a tank with the auto box long distance. Now I'm lucky to get 650. But generally around 600 per tank including a fang here and there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qube 3570 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 i think alot of ppl have the misconception that higher CC or bigger L cars eat more fuel.. but it basically just depends on the way you drive. obviously a 328 would have more power and faster response when you need it whereas a 318/320 would have to work 'harder' hence use more fuel.

dirtydoogle 383 Report post Posted July 22, 2010 I love the power delivery of the 325i....But a 328i is even better, big enough difference in torque and only use a smidgen more fuel than my 320i did. Get a 328i if you can. End of story. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I'm lucky to get 650. But generally around 600 per tank including a fang here and there. That is heck fuel efficient for a 328, I thought the 328 would only give about 400 to a tank. My little 318iS gives 650 on open motorway driving to ardmore and back each day. City driving only gives me 550-580 or so... Thinking about upgrading to a 328...

pjay 8 Report post Posted July 23, 2010 I'm at 300 when I hit half on the fuel gauge everytime, then it's all horrible from there. I press the odometer distance thingy every time I fill up. It is a 60L tank with I don't know how many if any reserve. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treggo 0 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 i had a 92 325i with 3.15 diff and lightish m20 flywheel had 112kw at the wheels at 6000rpm chipped ecu with 240k's on the clock / i now have 96 328i with same diff , extractors , std ecu same sort of flywheel and has 111.8kw at 5200rpm with 101k on the clock . 328i is annoying on the track as the power just stops at 5200rpm(will rev beyond but no point) where as the 325i used to pull all the way to 6000rpm . but i like the better torque of the 328i for driving around town etc and plan on remapping the ecu to get rid of the power limiter etc . 328i gets better fuel ecno too. we will have a nice 325i coupe ready at work for sale soon 1995 model with 130k on the clock and tidy . Wanna PM me some info on the coupe thats coming up for sale? I will be in the market for one soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bezzal 1 Report post Posted July 24, 2010 My 328i in manual gives approx 500ks for 50-54 liters. Driving Mission bay to East Tamaki for work every day. Motorway in the AM, home through the burbs. On the open road I get another 100k's out of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
