Miles On A Tank - 535i
How many miles do you guys get out of your bmw 535i? Im thinking of buying one to replace my gas guzzling 745i that barely gets 500km with a 23 gallon tank....

Relapse,
It depends on your driving habits and city vs freeway driving. I had my car for upwards of 2 years now. In city driving in Toronto I would get anywhere between 400-500 kms on a tank (70 liters I believe). On the freeway I can easily do 800 Kms when going between Ottawa and Toronto. Obviously the more spirited you drive the less Kms you will get out of a tank. Hope this helps. MBA |

I've had my 535xi for 2 years. I drive 90% city, not stop and go, but city. I average 17mpg, usually get about 400km per tank. The max I've been able to achieve on the highway is 26mpg. Yes I know I am mixing mpg and km, but my brain works in mpg not l/100km.

I'm usually getting about 400 miles to the tank when driving a little aggressive. 430 ish if I'm taking it easier. 80% highway commute with some heavy traffic.

Post break-in is no miracle thing either, typically consumption gradually improves, but don't expect great things if conditions stay the same. Need some steady highway driving to see decent mpg figures. HighlandPete |

My alltime max on one tank of fuel has been 1086 km, that was with the current F11.
I do not remember exactly how much was left/went in, it took around 67 litres I guess. Going at max 1700 rpm will make this car do 1200kms on one tank, easily! |
