28i Real world MPG

[Doh]

anyone got any real world MPG figures for the 28i ? looking for a new daily driver and the promise of 40+ mpg sounds compelling against a boring diesel 3 series

Don't know about the 28i but 3.0 I am getting 33 to 35 with normal speeds combined open road and town driving.

I've got a 28i. My normal urban cycle gives me around 35mpg, on a run I get about 42mpg.

I'm quite happy with these figures, I previously had a 23i and got about 32 and 36mpg respectively.

Had a 30si averaged 27 mpg looking for a 28i hoping for 36 mpg..........

My 28i gives me about 31mpg over the last 22,000 miles. I started logging it via fuelly when I got this car and just checked what it has as the total average over my ownership.

My best on a longer run shows as 34.6 mpg


Typical manufacturer perfect performance figures that get anywhere near 40mpg.

Not in line with my 28i experience, see my post above

Depends on cycle and driving style I guess. I enjoy the power but I ain't no boy racer!

Hi,

My experience on the Z4 28i

Town 25MPG
Motorway - 60-80 45mpg
A & B roads 34MPG

It seems to enjoy an steady smooth drive

This seems about right.

I never do any pure 'town' driving to make a comparison, but the other numbers seem right IMO.

My 35i gives me 18mpg 8) :evil: :driving:

I miss my 335i sound - but not the MPG

Looking at tuning it for the extra 50bhp

OK maybe my usage differs from DR_JOHN but my sig is now a link to my fuelly accounts so you can see it for yourself. That's over 22k miles BTW.

Possibly my commute destroys my economy as it's only 7 miles each way so the car is barely warm most of the time I get to work. I also don't do lots of motorway driving which won't help.

I'm certainly no granny driver but I aint exactly a boy racer either.

Maybe you should take an average of all the figures given to get a real world MPG.

I'm changing the car next week so maybe the new one will have better MPG. I have felt it a little thirsty for a 2 ltr when i've mad 3 straight six BMW before this in 2.5 and 3.0 varieties and they were very similar overall.
