Real World MPG For BMW 323i (E90)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi Rhys, 

Thanks for the info. I'm sorry, i am a bit impatient (i should cool it, i know)- perhaps I'm trying to hurry things along a little because there's one (323i) going for sale right now and I'd like to get my hands on it - but I need to get some information first - a bit of background research. I took it out for a test drive the other day (for a short run around town and i loved it) it was giving 12.8L/100km (about 22.1 mpg) - but I'm not sure if this was accurate - I'm sure I'd have to have slightly longer term figures (from independent roadtests or anyone who has driven one for some time)

Yes I am from South Africa Steve. We've had both the 323i and the 325i on the market since about 2005/6.

Thanks again

Xulu

	Hi and welcome to the forum, as said I'm sure someone will be able to help you. I have a hunch you're from SA which would answer Steven's query.

	Hi, welcome to the forum,You may have to be a little patient. It could take a couple of days for the right person to come onto the forum. First of all though is it definitely a 323i E90 as (if I remember correctly) they have not been available in the UK but I know were introduced onto the Australian market in 2006. If it is the 325i then the official figure for combined driving is 39.8 mpg although a couple of magazine tests I have seen put it around 34mpg Do you want this info because you are thinking of buying one or do you have one already and are not getting the mileage you would have expected. Cheers Steve.

	Is there anyone at all who drives the E90 BMW 323i?

	I'm not sure if this topic has been done already in this forum - if it has, please help me locate the threads/posts because my search is leading me nowhere. I'd like to know what fuel consumption figures (city/motorway/combined) the E90 BMW 323i (2005) owners have been able to achieve in this car (driven normally).
