Finally decided to purchased a 2005 Black 330i SE Auto - hopefully picking it up next week.... excited !

Hi guys,I'm new around here and heard about the site mainly due to the "cracked" wheel episode of Watchdog.

We still have the E93 but,have already changed the E61 for something a little different.

I get about 34mpg, although you're probably weighed down by your bigger rear end

Welcome Chris.

I used to get around 34mpg same as Ed in my E92 335d so not sure what's happening with yours. Sure the back isn't full of concrete blocks lol. Have you tried resetting the OBC to see if the mpg alters at all? Without assuming you don't already know this, but bigger diesels show more of their true economy 'status' on longer runs.

foxy-367 · 11-05-2009, 07:32 AM

Welcome one and all.

The OBC is pants mine says 49mpg but calc'd out each week actually averages 46-47mpg! How does that work?
