Gas milage 535i xdrive

Hey guys just wanted to share, I recently decided to reset my odometer to 0 when I filled up my tank. I made 580KM on a full tank of 91gas (65L).
I was driving normally, floored maybe 5-7 times, 60% HWY 40% CITY.
I find it very very economic for V6 turbo AWD vehicle.

I have the same ride, 80-90% conservative driving as I drive throughout the day in traffic. The most I get is about 480KM per tank.

I've gotten 700kms+ on pure highway and as little as 450kms in the city

I'm considering purchasing the xDrive, would anyone of you reconsider in reference to the gas mileage?

I've had mine just over a week, so still in the break-in period. So far I'm getting ~18 mpg around town, which is slightly more than I got with my e93 328i Convertible. All things considered I'm happy with the mileage.

I am looking forward to doing ca. 1.000 km per tank in my next 535d! :P

How about 34mpg cruising at 80-85mph? My actual trip computer. 517 miles with 6:45hr of driving time + 30mph traffic for about 1hr.

imposss, the F10 535i has an Inline 6 with a single twin scroll turbo.

I'm at 12.5L/100km 90% city tho and car has less than 1000km on it. Hoping to improve it!

Question: I see the efficient dynamics thing show me a +10km does this mean that I can drive gas free for 10km what does it actually mean? Confused with this

This means that you have been driving in ECO PRO mode and that is the extra mileage (or KM in your case) that you have gained by switching to the ECP PRO driving dynamics. I went a full tank on ECO PRO once and gained only 6 miles. I guess I couldn't resist pushing it...LOL

yup! i tried driving on eco for a half tank of gas just to see what the efficient dynamics does. still kind of confused tho..

does it mean that we can drive for x amount of km gas free? or is it the amount of km the car electronics/ AC is running gas free?

has anyone tried running on empty just to see the extra km's in action? haha sorry for the stupid questions, i'm just really really curious!
