The way I drive mine - about 10-15mpg.

But if you're sensible and on a long run you should get 30-35mpg.

Welcome to the zone btw.

never worked out the mpg, but as a rule of thumb, i would usually get 100 miles for Ԛ£20 of fuel around town. more on motorway cruising, provided I keep it below 100

[stevetigger]

I put in Ԛ£20 every other day doing 50 miles a day! Hope that helps

I've got a slight fuel leak but still manage around 20mpg driving briskly but with mechanical sympathy.

2.5s in good shape can make late 20s in dya to day use but drop sharpish around town or on the razzle. Open road I'd guess you might break 30mpg with a nice constant speed in the 50-75mph braket.

[kam-325i]

I get around 100-120 miles on Ԛ£20, and thats all around town.

[Theo]

I can get about 275 from about Ԛ£38 when im a good boy, with only occasional mental spells. That is with very little town driving though.

[Demlotcrew]

I get 10p per mile out of my 2.3

Pretty much what I get to.

[stevetigger]

And I can tell you all, its a bloody big town!

[straightsix]

ive got a sport engine in my 320i and its chipped, get about 100 to 20 quid give or take a few miles, not good eh

[Theo]

you lot must drive like nutters to get that fuel consumption!

[rare]

I only found out I had more than 2 gears yesterday!!

[E30BeemerLad]

M20 + Scorpion + Cone filter & other mods = desire to rev the fanny off it everywhere

Fuel guzzling car - diminishing student loan = overwhelming desire to conserve fuel where possible!

hats off to any student running a 325!

[Turbo-Brown]

Used to get 29ish mpg around town easy peasy, and around 35mpg on the motorway.

I've said it a million times before, and will probably say it another million: if you stop, you pay, so don't stop! (Unless you have to)

[parksie]

Hey what the F**k, I'm nearly 50 and where ever i drive in the car it's usually up in the upper rev limits, thats the reason i got this car, they just inspire spirted driving !!, so much so my missus says she doesn't like driving with me in the 325 !!!


I need a younger Women !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh by the way, nearly forgot ! about 195/ 220 miles per full tank. !!

[oze30]

I get about 170 per tankful..
Though motorway miles I got Wilts - brighton- wilts and a few extra miles on top of that for a tank of gas.

BUT usually around 200m for 65 ( Ithink ) L.

Scored a good run back from london to warminster- VIA southampton ( Don't ask) got 220 ish before it got to the line before R

[Gouki]

on one occasion i averaged 16mpg, thats mostly town driving, mix of town and motorway got it up to 19mpg. I do think mine is burning a bit more than usual though since i got the car, so i need to get it checked soon.

[haffeel]

my 325i Auto is zone chipped and got a BBTB, I use it spirited driving in town, I get about 26mpg but drive more sober then I get about 28mpg in city driving.

Long distance highway driving I beleive it is about 36mpg odd some thing. Simply fantastic.

I use Fusch Synthetic 5-40W engine oil

[Simon13]

i always laugh at these treads! how is everyone driving thier 325's?

my sport gives about 22mpg around town, on the m-way etc up to 29mpg. I have had 30mpg once!

so around 280-360miles to a tankfull in mine depending on whether it's in town or m-way

[Wilson325i]

around 280-360miles to a tankfull in mine depending on whether it's in town or m-way

HTH

that is about right for a nicely driven 325

i get well over 315 to a tankfull.

[Mops]

here in New Zealand I do anywhere between 240 and 300 miles out of tank... but i drive mainly in city (more than 50%)

I used to drive it like it was stolen! Thats why I bought a 325i Sport and thats why I want to 2.7 the cab!

[gcorky]

27 ish round town

[Hammer1]

20ish for me for urban driving which aint to bad i suppose, only a few mpgs down on bmws official book figures when the e30 325i was spanking new and when you think mines getting on a bit now and must be well clogged up with soot and everything lol!

[low325icab]

Ԛ£10 = 35-40 miles fairly heavy right foot

[E30Mark]

Guys let me know what fuel stations you lot use, I'll be buying some more shares in the morning!!!!

I miss my old 323i for the torque it had, but I'd never miss the economy of my 318iS, sorry to rub it in, but I'm getting old..... 35 soon! and economy counts at my age! well maybe not, but i would cry if my car didn't return 300 - 400 miles per tank! (55L tank)

[beavis2k4]

If i drive sensibly around town, i can get around 22mpg, If i drive "normally? " Its about 14mpg, on my usual back road runs i get about 19ish, but i drive constantly with the foot to the floor, if im carrying passengers ( more care taken, less foot to floor, more passenger care ) i can get about 27, i have never seen my obc reading over 30 but i dont do mways and i have a small fuel leak

[michael24m]

i have to manage to start and get the engine to run well first, otherwise, in the present condition, mine does 1MPG....with mostly unburned fuel going out the exhaust

another student here running a 325i, i was working over in cheltenham at the race course last week which is about 75 miles each way but mainly on national speed limit roads or dual carrige ways and i worked it out it cost me about about 26 quid to have enough petrol to do a return trip

[thesaint]

another student here on a 325i, the OBC claims i am averaging 19 atm, but it lies. Tried to tell me i was averaging 30mpg on my way to ibiza, i was at 130 most of the way through france and spain, only time i sloewd was on the ferry, from barcelona. I actually get around 22mpg on resonbly spirtited driving, 26-28mpg on general slowness, most likloey below 20 when she is truely being opened up.

[thehotairballoon]

i had 325i se 4 door saloon auto switchable. Ԛ£65 full tank 280-320 on unleaded. tryed optimax 250-280 miles Ԛ£70 tank. Tried Ԛ£45 unleaded and Ԛ£30 optimax was getting 320-375. motorways crusing at 95 mph was the ideal i found.
