First tank of gas...ouch

aerokubectl · 12-07-2018, 08:24 PM

I averaged 17 mpg lol. I don't even think I was driving that hard but I will say there were quite a few moments of being parked and the engine was on while I fiddle with iDrive or whatever.

Just filled up with 91, that was a new one in awhile as well.

All in all, car brings a smile every time I drive it so it's well worth it.

Gas mileage? Really? My e60 m5 got about 9 to 11 per gallon. Couldn't have cared less

ryem3 · 12-07-2018, 08:56 PM

Don't feel bad, I'm getting 15 and I've been through several tanks. This car has a big motor and a stupid 14 gal tank.

chris719 · 12-07-2018, 09:02 PM

I get 18-19 combined with my DD Mazda 3 2.5L pre-Skyactiv lol. I'd take 2 less MPG for 235 more hp.

3tekcorps · 12-07-2018, 09:18 PM

What's amazing is that it actually doesn't use much fuel if you can keep your foot out of it.

On cruise in 65 MPH traffic it was showing 30-34mpg on the computer.

aerokubectl · 12-07-2018, 09:24 PM

Its okay I also own a ct200h which gets like 40mpg so I can balance out

OGM2C · 12-08-2018, 02:20 AM

gas mileage lol

///M Houbi · 12-08-2018, 02:27 AM

I lately browsed the „normal" 2 series section a bit. Every second post had the words „fuel economy" written somewhere. I didn't see that a single time in the M2 section.

Probably have to google it....

scflaw · 12-08-2018, 02:46 AM

The first and second tank is rough. I was doing an average of 18l/100km. Around the fourth tank the mileage stays at 9.3l/100km. My car is at around 900kms.

Aim.F32 · 12-08-2018, 03:21 AM

Had mine for under 2 weeks with 550 miles on the clock and I'm on my 4th tank of fuel

But as they say with an M car, it's all about grins per gallon

Poochie · 12-08-2018, 03:42 AM

After I saw the S55 required two high pressure fuel pumps, I knew it wasn't going to be any Prius..

However, all BMW M cars of the past used to always get hit with a Gas Guzzler tax, in the US..

The S55 is like the first official M motor that was efficient enough to avoid the tax.. So it's actually an improvement for the comparable power.. So be grateful it's improvement..

paliknight · 12-08-2018, 04:27 AM

93 octane is something around 2.25 a gallon in Texas at Costco. I wouldn't worry too much lol.

FSU_Logan · 12-08-2018, 06:28 AM

Well over $3/gal here and it's a solid 17.7 mpg.

bri1042 · 12-08-2018, 06:42 AM

I haven't reset my trip stuff in 2400 miles of ownership and I'm hovering around 19.6 mpg. It was lower early on, of course, and now that the weather isn't perfect I can't play quite as much. I should reset it now that the car is well broken in.

ryem3 · 12-08-2018, 12:56 PM

It isn't really the mileage, it's the fucking fuel tank

I'm not even close to 200 miles a tank. Reminds me of my E92 M3, which also had a stupid 14 gal tank with a V8. The range is really ridiculous.

I guess the guys in Oregon with the M2C can be considered extremely lucky. It's illegal to pump your own gas there, a station attendant has to do it, like in the 70's and before. That would be sweet huh, and you don't tip them either, even if it's pouring rain out!

The Oregon pit stop, I enjoy it.

ScottAndrew · 12-08-2018, 01:17 PM

At £2/gal or whatever it is you pay, I’d just leave the thing idling all night to make it sure it was toasty warm in the morning!

If you're averaging over 20 mpg you're doing it wrong

GerardzM · 12-08-2018, 01:32 PM

Yea, I have the N55 motor and that damn 13gal tank is doing no one any favors lol

Can only imagine you S55 guys when you're really on it!

aerokubectl · 12-08-2018, 01:54 PM

If the tank was bigger then people would complain about the weight though
