BMW 530d Fuel Consumption too HIGH

btwbtw · 09-01-2018, 08:18 PM

Hi All,
Last week i bought a used BMW 530d, Year:2015.
I don't know if that's normal to these kind of bmw, but any help would be welcome from you.
My BMW spends too much fuel.
I could make only 500 km for 70Litres of fuel. That means approx. 14 l/100km.
Also, as you can see in the attached picture the momental fuel consumption in a traffic jam goes up to 17.2 l/100km.
Is that normal? If not, does anyone know what could be the problem for it?
I drive in Comfort mode.

Thank you in advance and i will appreciate any help.

I have a 2014 535d M-Sport with 60k miles on it. I get ~25mpg(10.6km/L) around town and 40mpg(17km/L) on the highway. It sounds like you have an issue somewhere.

my MPG to km/L numbers were wrong. Updated.

Thank you Tacos. I went to an authorized service of BMW, they changed thermostat, did an update of the program, and said consumption are reduced. But NO, it spends more than 18l/100km now 😶

Can't help with the issue but just for comparison - my 2012 535D (230kW) with 125k miles in city gets around 8-10L, highway 5-7L. Really depends on the right foot that day

Damn no answer to this question. I have a 2014 550xi and am about 100 miles to a tank. Something is wrong.
