Yeah the verts are heavy. My way to work is about 5 miles long. And this is not long enough to warm up the engine oil. Especially in this time of year. But when I took her for a little drive last weekend I was doing 26.5mpg after 50 miles of mixed b roads and town with few sprints so I don't think is bad. I accept that and love drive with roof down!

Are you getting up to temp properly? Mine used to get to 90ºc within 2 to 3 miles depending on ambient temperature.
I would check and see, the 'stats only last around 4-5 years before they start to stick. |

I'm pretty sure all is fine. The coolant gets right temp about two times quicker than engine oil. However there is no a coolant gauge on 335i. Did you have 335i? I got to drive roughly good 10 mins to warm up the oil to 90ºc

Unless it is getting to 90ºc quickly and staying bang on 90 you will be using a lot more fuel. |

After a couple months of having my E92 325D Manual I have found I can easily achieve 45+mpg doing 80/20 Motorway/A-Roads and not paying too much attention to economy or speed limits

At a GPS verified 70; the instant mpg ranged from 65 to 99.9 on the way there and the way back. I really don't hang about. All my motorway driving is outside lane and nothing ever really passes me. I'm still getting 36-37mpg combined plus mine's an auto. I have a dead fuel filter heater so I'm hoping there's a bit more when that's sorted. What are your temperatures like? Are you running any fault codes? |

Today I drove 15+ miles to east London to meet a friend. On my way back I reset. I chose a road that was declining therefore use neutral let the car flow...short shift. Slow throttle application. 45mpg! 10 mins from my house...traffic lights...X5M...I just couldn't resist! Instantly went to 33mpg!👊🏿

my 2008 320D went down to 27mpg recently, just town only driving, cleaned out the MAF and MAP sensors and its now up to 35mpg, going to clean the intake manifold and egr in the next few weeks so it should go up a bit more, also going to remove the swirl flaps whilst I'm in there for peace of mind.
