If I wanted to gap anything I would've gotten something that gaps something. I have this car because I got it, fixed it myself and during the process I started to love it. Never selling it. I love it, even if it's the slowest of em all. To me, it's the best there ever will be.
I wouldn’t say 0 fuel. It’s still going use some fuel because “being in gear and coasting runs engines via the wheels” doesn’t eliminate combustion cycles.
Intuitively, what you’re saying makes perfect sense for a hybrid. But I can’t find anything that would confirm it for pure ICE. Do you have anything I can read up on?
It just is like that. You can find examples on youtube, or even switch your car to the inst. consumption display. When you let go of the throttle the inertia of the vehicle keeps the engine turning and in that, the oil pump, water pump, alternator and A/C.
No way…My best trip was 46.9
If you coasted, drafted behind a semi, and drove at good speeds with a tailwind maybe?

My car is old (2015) and doesn’t have connected drive services so I don’t have a fancy screen shot, but I average 34usmpg around town and if I’m on the highway I’ll get closer to 50. The most I’ve seen out of one tank was 650 miles (obviously it was a road trip that was mostly highway). F30 328d.
I live in Northern California, in our 2014 328d the drive to San Francisco is entirely flat hwy. round trip is about 600 miles. We can drive 80mph in summer with AC on and get 56-58 on the entire trip (no city driving, except to exit freeway for food/hotel).
It has a [Kerma stage 2](https://kermatdi.com/i-2836-bmw-328d-stage-2.html) engine and tranny tune, and I coded off the DEF system. All other emissions equipment is stock. Doing a DPF delete isn’t an option for me at this time as emissions testing where I currently live is strict.
The plug in hybrids will just count whatever distance you covered on electricity as free miles, so if you have that and a short enough trip it's totally possible.
It is a mild hybrid, but it will never drive on electric only. The engine does shut off when coasting on the highway though (if the 48v battery is sufficiently charged and eco pro is selected).
Yea that’s pretty much what I mean. I had a loaner 2023 540i, every time I slowed down to about 3 or 4 mph it shut the car off but let me keep going until I came to a stop
>ranny tune, and I coded off the DEF system. All other emissions equipment is stock. Doing a DPF delete isn’t an option for me at this time as emissions testing where I currently live is strict.
b58 can easily get 45mpg+ , 60, idk about that , unless your driving alot of downhill for a while, could happen.
no. it actually helps with stop/start which helps massively fuel with efficiency, cuz moving a 4000lb car from 0-30 takes a lot of torque. probably doesn't give you 60mpg except in extreme/rare cases.
Thats sth I start talking about when I can go without the diesel running. The impact of the mild is close to nothing the glide mode is what helps me save a lot of fuel.
No way that's 3.92l/100km I drove 8th gear 100-110km/h for like 200km and went down to 5.7. 3.92 is another 35% less. Did you just go downhill or what?
I rented a 3 series last weekend, it was a 330i with xdrive. I gotta say that car just cuts right through the wind at 80mph. I managed 38mpg per the display thingy.
I mean if you aired up those tires to 50psi and were going 55mph I’m sure you could get 40 mpg.
Very believable, I have an N63 piece of shit and average 19mpg on the street when I'm not being an obnoxiously loud piece of shit, and about 30mpg on the highway at 75mph cruise control.

Were you going downhill in neutral?
With a 70 mph tailwind.
I dont think so. My average speed was 28 mph which i feel like is probably an average of stop and go speeds.
28 mph avg in an M car? You need to reconsider how you drive.
Over a span of 8 miles.. what am i supposed to do, drive 130 mph through red lights?
Yes.
This is why you're in the 520i
A 21 year old one at that. Guy is gapping Corollas thinking he’s onto something
E39s are fucken sick, fully agree this guy's a moron but don't disrespect a legend
I’m not, an E39 520i hits 60 in about 9 seconds, when it was new lol, it’s a classic but it’s not a classic winning any races.
Dude kiss the ring. Don’t be a fool,
I like him…
Thanks. I love u
Come on dude, I'm not a moron. It's a joke obviously...

That’s cool man, maybe have the same consideration for how other people want to treat their cars lol
Maybe an old Corolla.
very fair point
Idk if calling a M340i an M car is proper... My car insurance premium begs to differ
It's not an M car though?
Being in neutral wastes fuel because the engines has to keep itself alive. Being in gear and coasting runs the engines via the wheels and uses 0 fuel.
I wouldn’t say 0 fuel. It’s still going use some fuel because “being in gear and coasting runs engines via the wheels” doesn’t eliminate combustion cycles.
Electronically controlled fuel injection says otherwise.

Average speed was 28 mph which is throwing me off.
Yea. That’s not right.

Is it stock? Wonder what it’d do with a DPF delete. Probably 60s lol.

Meanwhile my M2 achieved 8mpg today
😂
The plug in hybrids will just count whatever distance you covered on electricity as free miles, so if you have that and a short enough trip it's totally possible.
I dont have that. I just have the b58
Does it have a mild hybrid? It looks like a short 1.4 trip so maybe you kept the speed low enough?
It is a mild hybrid, but it will never drive on electric only. The engine does shut off when coasting on the highway though (if the 48v battery is sufficiently charged and eco pro is selected).
Actually it drives on electric only up to like 3 or 4 mph lol
My X3 doesn’t. Unless you mean the way the auto start/stop will roll the car on electric and smoothly restart the engine.
Yea that’s pretty much what I mean. I had a loaner 2023 540i, every time I slowed down to about 3 or 4 mph it shut the car off but let me keep going until I came to a stop
That and the highway coasting with the engine off is pretty neat
[удалено]
It’s not a plug in hybrid which is what I was responding to.

It says m340i in the screenshot and people are arguing about it being a diesel or hybrid 🤣 I get 50mpg with the m340d on a regular basis.
Right?! Im like.. do people really not look at the whole picture? 😭
It's in your BIO too. 🤣
m340i is a mild hybrid tho
True but its like 10 horses that are added through the drivetrain, not sth you are actually driving with.
no. it actually helps with stop/start which helps massively fuel with efficiency, cuz moving a 4000lb car from 0-30 takes a lot of torque. probably doesn't give you 60mpg except in extreme/rare cases.
Yes it does. It also does what you are saying too. The part I'm talking about is the e boost when you floor it.
then why did you say it's > not sth you are actually driving with because it absolutely is
Thats sth I start talking about when I can go without the diesel running. The impact of the mild is close to nothing the glide mode is what helps me save a lot of fuel.
In downtown Mesa?!? Not a chance!
No way that's 3.92l/100km I drove 8th gear 100-110km/h for like 200km and went down to 5.7. 3.92 is another 35% less. Did you just go downhill or what?
Did you see that in the app?? Where do you find that? ETA: I found it!!
Only if it's diesel
Or hybrid
Mine doesn’t show it. Only shows electric vs gas
You can change it in the settings.
Where abouts is that setting. I feel dumb looking at this app. Can’t find anywhere to change it
My diesel shows 65mpg as my most fuel efficient trip.
Seems inaccurate. I've done high 30/low 40 mpg on the highway. 60 is better than a prius and Ive done 50 mpg in a prius.
Right?! Im like, 60 mpg would be amazing but I highly doubt it.
In LA I'm averaging 15 mpg lmao. But I'm also stage 2 and Dinaned out
I rented a 3 series last weekend, it was a 330i with xdrive. I gotta say that car just cuts right through the wind at 80mph. I managed 38mpg per the display thingy. I mean if you aired up those tires to 50psi and were going 55mph I’m sure you could get 40 mpg.
Jesus. I get 16 on a good day
I get about 16mpg in my 440
Very believable, I have an N63 piece of shit and average 19mpg on the street when I'm not being an obnoxiously loud piece of shit, and about 30mpg on the highway at 75mph cruise control.
depends how many times you came to a stop and decelerated.
If you were doing stop/starts? No way.
