335i owners

kata_tutu · 11-26-2009, 05:05 PM

As in the title. I drive mainly around town with no serious traffic but a lot of stopping and starting - getting 16 mpg with a light foot. Just want to get feedback from others before I brand the car 'faulty'.

kgb1637 · 11-26-2009, 05:08 PM

I average around 21 per my computer, you will probably get some pretty wide ranges for this question.

HJV · 11-26-2009, 05:21 PM

My 325i gives 40 highway, 25 city.

34 autobahn (averaging 100 mph).

jxu · 11-26-2009, 05:27 PM

I am getting like 15L/100KM in city and around 8-9L/100kM on highway. Somehow... i feel that is rather higho.0

Echo M3 · 11-26-2009, 05:54 PM

16 mpg ?! That sounds ridiculously low for a
335. I commute in one of the most traffic
congested cities in the world and still
average about 16-17 mpg. Best I got was on a road trip (19-20mpg), lowest was 15. And no, I am not the "shift straight to 7th gear" type - at least not always.

Is your tire pressure abnormal? Do you have a few thousand bricks
in the trunk? I thought the one advantage to a 335 would be mileage!

nukezero · 11-26-2009, 06:24 PM

23.3 MPG 75% hwy/25% city.

19.5 MPG 75% city/25% higyway

the MPG are within specification of the EPA 17/26. I am pretty satisfied that it gets decent gas mileage for the amount of power this car can put down. The direct injection technology really helps.

dc503 · 11-26-2009, 06:49 PM

20-21mpg in mixed driving in a congested area.

MontegoGoGoGo · 11-26-2009, 06:53 PM

I was talking to my dad about his MPG tonight at Thanksgiving, and he gets around 9-11. How awful is THAT?

ToadHollow · 11-26-2009, 07:11 PM

Averaging ....... 22 City, 30 Hwy.

Does he drive a F650?o.0

1N54E92 · 11-26-2009, 07:15 PM

combined driving has given me about 24 mpg most of time. If I am on a highway, cruisin around 75-80 mph, I have gotten around 29-30 mpg.

cc335xi · 11-26-2009, 07:34 PM

seriously sounds like your dad, may drive a tow truck

GnokGnik · 11-26-2009, 07:42 PM

E90PAT · 11-26-2009, 08:04 PM

19.1 mpg avg

city 80% highway 20% or less

i'm on the same boat as you... i'm getting about 16mpg in the city, 24mpg highway but i've only had my car for a week soo. time will tell.

but within a day i noticed that the 335 waaay less inefficient than my old e90 328i.

I335 · 11-26-2009, 08:46 PM

I usually get 21/22 mixed with fairly spirited (not crazy, sprited) driving. On long (100 mile) highway trips with light traffic 30/31 is not unusual. IMO gas mileage/horsepower is one of BMW's strengths. The mileage we get with such strong engines/horsepower is just amazing and is typically quite a bit better than other brands in this power range.

mmm def · 11-26-2009, 09:15 PM

21-23

BMWinNorthdakota · 11-26-2009, 09:27 PM

18-22 little mix of highway and city.. w/ the 6mt

I would consider my self very heavy footed

Ron1n · 11-26-2009, 09:41 PM

On my 328 E90, I get 26 (been tracking the past 5 months), and that's with 90% highway. =/
