I don't know why either, but I do! I don't drive hard. Right now its at 16.8l/100 - so its getting worse. I only have 1700km on it ..but would have expected around 12 or so by now. Might have to do that our average trip length is around 3-5km at a time - so these short runs must be killing it. The diesel proposition may only work out for us if we do longer trips - which isnt that often. I'll ping the X6 guys to see what they are getting from the 50i based on city driving - I thinking 30l/100 might be off the mark ... I think the difference with the V8 is that driving short burst may not need much turbo to help if taking it easy - whereas the 35d twin turbo needs the turbo boost for the capacity (3.0) to pull the weight - so I reckon v8 TT might need 20 - 25l to get the job done .... I'll go over and ask them now .. |

my old 30d sport averages 10-12 depends on how hard I/wife push the paddle

35d may enjoy better reliability too, new model will take sometime to be bug free, i guess

Even the ADR figures for the 50i see it use 67% more fuel than the 40d and, while the ADR figures aren't an accurate guide as to real-world consumption, their relativity to one another is accurate given the nature of the test procedure. Assuming the 40d and 35d are much of a muchness (40d is actually claimed to be a little better), then extrapolating your 16.8 to the 50i (using the ADR figures for relativity) you will get 27.9. Hence my comment that consumption you'll get out of the 50i (if everything is okay with your 35d) will "close to 30". Last edited by Fraser; 03-14-2010 at 06:47 PM. |

Nope, got your point ..
my post to the X6 guys will be asking on an apples to apples driving scenario basis i..e
-avg trip length about 3-4km at a time -city based driving, not normally traffic lights but get roundabouts and that sort of stuff -not too much of a pussy foot so do like to accerlate here and there esp off the mark also - when I keep an eye on the fuel usage needle if often heads up to the 20 mark (max) when accelerating - I suspect because my trips are so short that I spend half of my time in that situation ..which would explain why I'm seeing 16l / 100 on average .... interesting that when I drove a new 520d around for a few weeks (therefore representing my typical driving style etc) I was getting around 9.2l / 100. the bmw site says 7.5 for 'city' driving - so i was about 25% over the official .... the official for 35d city driving is 11.1 - so i'm about 50% over that at 16.5 .. so if 50i behaves more like 35d then you're right ...official says 19.6 city for 50i ..so 50% on top of that could in theory get me close to 30 fark. Maybe I need to look at new 5 series touring |

Not that it really helps you, but yeh that does sound a fair bit higher than what it should be using fuel-wise. To give you a bit of background info, I used to live out on the southside of brisbane at hillcrest - driving from there to indooroopilly and back each day for work in my 3.0sd my avg consumption was ~8.5L/100. Last october I moved to indooroopilly and my avg consumption went up to ~10.5. Like you, I like to give it a bit of boot fairly regularly

Hi all,
Sorry to hijack the thread. Just wondering if anyone has the 6FL USB/audio interface option? If so, did you receive a "Y" cable with it free? I believe this cable is to connect an ipod/iphone via USB so it can be controlled via iDrive, and steering wheel volume controls. I've tried plugging the Apple USB cable my ipod touch (have also tried my iphone without success) into the USB slot in armrest console and glovebox, but iDrive displays it as 'Not Supported' or 'Reading...' and does nothing. I've told my dealer and he said I would need a "Y" cable from BMW, which they can order in - he did not say but I'm sure they will try to charge me for it. From what I've read here, those in the USA get this cable included with 6FL. If you bought this cable, how much and where? Thanks, Edward |
