330i sport v M3 MPG???????

xaddiction · 22-12-2007, 05:41 AM

Title says it all really.....

I've got a mate with a 330ci clubsport auto and his returns 18.1 mpg as an average.... and he drives like a granny. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Another mate has an M3 and his also gives the same-ish mpg, although he drives it like satan is chasing him. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/FIREdevil.gif[/img]

Any idea what the real world difference in mpg would be?

I get 26mpg from a 530i using that engine and obviously a heavy car.
I got 18 mpg from the M3 CSL.

I would say real world 20% in it.

I'm getting 27.7mpg from mine at the moment in the cold weather and bad traffic. In the summer it was edging 28.8.

Not bad for a 3.0 auto petrol in my book. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

yeah pretty good, but the efficient dynamics version from Sept 07 on build is giving 25% more!! I had one for 2 days and it returned 38mpg!

You need the manual to get a most of the advantage though don't you. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Still a worth while improvement though. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

The new auto box is now the same consumption wise as the manual, this is on the 272bhp version.

Both 39.2 combined.
