Mine is e92 335 13L/100km.

335ringo · 02-09-2011, 11:18 AM

After I add the JB4' map 1, now it become 11L/100km, 80% high way

Mind you, I drive at least 40km to/from work on highway. I think the highway driving and clean fuel helped clean the engine yielding better gas mileage.

I just wondering any garage or shop have BMS Power Box available for sell or can help to install? Mine 330i running at 15.xL/100km (19" wheels), really want a try... THANKS!

i have a 19978 Z3 1.9L and i average out to around 11L/100KM.. is it bad to go into neutral when going downhill?

I always know different engine oil makes a difference on the milage, however I couldn't believe the oil used by bmwhk is worse than what I use. I first changed the oil after running in my car around 2000km then changed it every 5000km. I've done 4 oil changes so far, the second last one was done at bmwhk which was the first scheduled service. However I found my car using slightly more fuel with the oil from bmwhk and it got better again now after my last oil change using shell ultra helix. It's around 40km per tank different. I normally do 8.9-9.0L per 100km using shell, around 9.2L with the oil from BMW.

Correction: it's 9.5L instead of 9.2L

BMW HK now is using shell ultra helix 0W-40, but personally i think 5W-40 for better protection......as long as you using bmw LL01 or LL04 is ok...

Hence obveriously driving in hot summer consume more fuel than winter.....especially for turbo car...

Besides, my car consume 20% more fuel when change from 225/255 to 235/265......

Really? I just want to change my tires from 225/255 to 235/265 because I feel that my wheels is too big (9J/10J) for 225/255, my car already consumes 15.XL/100KM!

ct087ct087 · 07-10-2011, 04:38 AM

can a 225 be put on 9J wheel? I think my 8.5J wheel is quite marginal for 225.
8J should be much fit.

Yes, 225 is minimum requirement for 9J, 255 is minimum for 10J... I installed in this setup without problem, but the wheels are very easy to have scratches.
