I thought I'd share MPG on my ///M

[AndreyATC]

After a year of owning X6M i wanted to explore some "non-M" aspect of driving it
Yesterday night, while cruising with wife and two sleeping kids in the car i desided to "play" MPG game
The result was rather surprizing on this same route we take every now and then

I also tested some NYC traffic a few days before

Following was achieved using AT in manual mode

Can someone beat this on any X6?

24?? is it hybrid? best i got from highway is 18-19

[AndreyATC]

X6M with 7500 on ODO
Pretty good for 555HP car that weighs over 2.5 ton

Mine just says 14 mpg but i haven't reset that trip computing thing since i got the car lol

On 13150 miles right now, and just love the M

The right way todo it is to reset the computer counter for mpg each time fill your tank,that way the car calculates the mpg correctly

I always make my own math against the car reading and the result is almost identical

95% of the miles I drive are in City traffic.. I am hovering around 10-11 mpg... fml. However, I am about 3k miles under what I should be for my lease... so I got that going for me I guess?

Same here, a lot of mixed driving. A great deal of stop and go city driving during rush hour and highway driving in jersey and stuff. I got 2k miles until I hit 15k/year I just got this thing like 7 months ago lol

One of the trade-offs for not getting a V8 engine is supposed to be better fuel economy. So much for that!

Same for me, I do 10 mpg almost 100% city driving, thats pretty good for such a monster engine

[AndreyATC]

In NYC, anything above 10mpg is good, regardless of the car
You are mostly either stopped at the traffic light or crawling in traffic
There isn't much driving ...

Even my 335i barely got 13-14mpg in Brooklyn

[X54SiQI]

wow, I'm only getting 17.5mpg out of 2000m, and 90% is highway

Hi All

Just ditched M3 after just six weeks! Major oil leaks from start spoilt what should have been good fun,on going oil consumption of around 1ltr per 400 miles after 1200 service put me off. Lag on DCT when parking impossible to live with as well.

So got the beast, just concerned that will need to join main board of OPEC to run it .

Daily commute 100 miles 90 % motorway, would be happy with anything that starts with a 2 in it.

Any experience/hope of my expectations being close.

Or this will bite the dust to

I am aware a 2 ton plus beast with a 550bhp engine was not going to be a Prius!

Your comments please.

[AndreyATC]

The only way you can get 20+mpg (US) is driving on fairly flat road with speeds under 65mph
20 miles per imperial gallons should not be a problem for you, even with spirited driving

P.S. Oil consuption is not an issue on this car
1 quart in 7K miles or so

Making my itch to upgrade to an M even greater.

+1 !!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the advise, did a 50 mile run today got combined of 19 mpg, with less than a hundred miles on the clock,that will improve as it is run in.

Its just not as much fun as the M3 (Obvious statement!), in the UK the ROADS are small and the X6 tends to fill them! So spirted driving would result in a prison sentence.

Just may have f****d up with this one.

Back to drawing board.

I think will give it some more time before I chop it in.

Thanks

That's a great mileage. I just picked mine up 2 days ago and the highest I got is 14.7

[AndreyATC]

Congrats!
And enjoy
When i picked mine up i couldnt stay of the trottle for a month
The sound, the rush...
It was tough to keep the RPMs bellow 4K

[Mike van D]

Can't get over 20 in the 35i X6...no chance in the M3

[Terraforce1]

That's impressive AndreyATC!

If I get 17 or 18 I'm usually super chuffed
