Excellent! I actually broke 27 mpg ONCE on the way to Oklahoma City. But that was with a 30 mph tailwind! Thankfully the wind changed direction and calmed down before the trip back home. I almost always get 26-26.5 mpg at 70-75.

Just got X3 3.0 SD for my wife...

Took it yesterday from dealer and insurance company. We also noticed 22 litres/km consumption on computer... Car is in first 100 km of use....

X3 3.0 SD manual specifies max 2000RPM and max speed of 150KM untill first 2000 km is reached.

So the figures of 4000 rpm you are declaring is for petrol engines - which is also stated in manual....

Our diler mentioned that we can try the car in any rpm an in any speed but just for a short run test...

Will post data of diesel usage in furter progress...

Regards
