All I have been doing is low speed 50k driving around town so far and am averaging 15L/100km ... I need a friendly oil sheik who can supply me with some cheap fuel ... LOL!

yea that's nothing

try driving a V10 M5 or M6 around town 22-24L per 100km

 

even the 4.4L x5 can do 15-16L

[treone 648]

Try 16.4l and 26 cylinders:

E60 V10 M5 - horrendousL/100km.

HSV Avalanche 5.7 V8 - ridiculousL/100km.

Holden Monaro CV 5.7 - verypleasantcamparedtotheother2butnowherenearyoursL/100km

But the noise and power more than makes up for it

What's even better fun is switching to 'range 'and watching it reduce before your eyes haha!

DOH .... I didn't see the :

It's like .70c a liter here.  I am pretty okay with this.

I can't believe how good this car feels to drive.  I am amazed it took me so long to get a BMW.  Glad I got the 330i, as it just seems to want to pull and pull and pull.  Damn the fuel usage ... it not as important as how it feels to drive.  Looking forward to taking it on a long run soon to stretch its legs.

Should be moved to rant section.

thoughen up sweeties.... or by a I3

[KiwiTT 23]

my last car did 14-15L/100km ... so I am fine.

[GorGasm 563]

Strange, our 130i gets just over 10l/100km, give or take on the daily commute from West Auckland to the North Shore.

Nah, must have the foot firmly flat on the loud pedal.

Wait! ... What! ... cheeky ...

[KiwiTT 23]

After nearly a couple weeks of ownership - I am really enjoying the fact I chose a 330i instead of the 323i I was considering.

[KiwiTT 23]

My average has now dropped below 13L/100km.  I think my right foot is broken ... LOL!
