rottenbend Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 The fuel comsumption figure for the 530i Auto is down 25%! 37.7mpg for a car of this size with 272 Bhp and 0-60 in 6.3secs is pretty remarkable. I know you'd never reach that figure but the improvement is laudable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Yep its direct injection. Its the same idea that they use in diesels but its taken this long to get to be as refined as a normal petrol. I read a report in Autocar a while ago and the car that they drove was an early example that did back up the claims in the real world with only a slight change to the behaviour of the engine.
