35i mpg

[mcbutler]

Hi,

I’ve been looking for a 6 pot Z4 09-12 pref 3.0 m sport with manual box in white. However with little 3.0 on the market to broaden my search I’ve been considering 35i manual. Can anybody tell me what mpg they achieve under what conditions?

Heres a nice one from RL Motors https://www.rlmotorservices.co.uk/vehic ... ies-U1717/

Each week I commute back and to from work twice a week 10 mile journey some in slow moving traffic, then also some town driving. Would you say 24-25mpg is about right?

For a spirited weekend drive on a roads slightly higher? 27mpg?

The 3.0 n/a would as I understand 27 and 30 retrospectively?
Thanks

Thanks

If you’re so worried about fuel consumption then you are looking at the wrong car!

[jimbo1958]

I average 16 mpg, but 90% of my driving is in town, and under 5 miles.

Yep.....very similar to my day to day driving.

[J1mmys]

Well it’s just handy I used to have an R32 GTR Skyline that drank fuel like it was going out of fashion. But you need to be able to budget right so if I know it’s 16-30mpg then you know.

27 to 28 on my 35i ....however if you want to have fun then sub 15mpg!

What kind of "fun" produces "sub 15mpg"? Fast, sub-70mph acceleration?

I ask, because my 35iS does high speed work every week - up to n+60 or 70 - and still averages 26.4mpg.

So, how do you get it down to 15?

[R.E92]

The only way I can see the 35i returning 15mpg is by holding the brake pedal and accelerator at the same time.

Low 20s if you are driving really hard or sat in serious congestion, but for most situations the 35i will return between 27 and 29 for me.

Watching this post with keen interest as I’m seriously thinking of changing my 25i for a 3.0 or 3.5i, 25-27 mpg average seems reasonable but low 20s as an average might sway me to a 3.0

So I’ve bought one atacama yellow 35i

So I’ve bought one atacama yellow 35i

That will be a rare car any reason why you didn't go for the white one ?

[J1mmys]

The one I’ve bought has only done 10k and from BMW main dealer, full BMW history it’s like new. The white one didn’t come close.

It achieved 28mpg on a test, long term mpg is showing as 31mpg.
