12.3L/100km, and yes, I redline to 7k on a daily basis just to keep the engine fresh.

WTF!! I get b/w 16 and 17L /100 km in the city.

The best I have ever gotten on a hwy drive is 10.5.

But what is the closest people here have come to 12 L / 100 km's in the city? I'm getting 16!

Does the car use more gas during the break-in period also?

EDIT: I only have 100 kilometers on the car right now!

I'm getting 12.2 but thats on a bad HPFP so that might be affectingit
(I drive it very hard)

12.1 currently on my e92 328 in M mode, shifting around 2k-2.5k and using 6th as much as I can. If I go full auto, it's in the low to mid-13's. If I get tired of driving like a granny (usually after getting cut off or almost getting crashed into for the nth time in a day), it can hit almost 14. LOL. This is 100% city. Vancouver traffic sucks.

I've got 1700 km on mine and have never got less that 16. Are these all automatics that are getting these great numbers???

[ians]

08 335i MT keep getting 11.8L/km since day 1. Car is 4mth old with 7500km on the clock and 90% city and at least 140km/hr when on highway.

But with what kind of driving? I dare say that's impossible in the city when BMW's own numbers are 12L / 100?!

Update: After a week of driving "normally", I've got 11.8 at time of fill-up. Official figure is 11.3 in the city for the auto (11.7 for manual). I think it's definitely doable but only with a light foot. I, OTOH, sometimes can't help myself when it's late and there's a clear stretch of road (to clean out the carbon deposits ...)
