Post *Dedicated* M235i Average Fuel Consumption Figures

Hi All,

I know there're endless amounts of threads on average fuel consumption figures but I would like to know specifically know the average figures on individuals who drive M235i's.

If possible please break down your answers into 5 parts.
1) What is your real average fuel consumption, not trip consumption.
2) What is your driving style & driving mode? (Gentle, Spirited, Aggressive, "Normal") & (Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, Sport +).
3) Type of driving? (Highway, Urban, Extra Urban, City).
4) Transmission? (Manual, Auto, Sport Auto).
5) Petrol type? (93, 95, 98 Octane).

1. Trip computer shows 10.3L/100km since I purchased the car. I've tested the trip computer versus manual calculation on a few fill-ups and the trip computer seems accurate to 0.1-0.2L/100km.

2. During the summer I do a couple of aggressive accelerations per commute. Occasionally I'll drive fairly aggressively throughout the trip. During winter I drive fairly normally. I've taken the car to the track once and I've done a couple of long country fun drives. I mostly drive DSC off during summer and comfort during winter. Occasional sport+ romps in the summer.

3. I want to say 75% of my mileage is suburban driving (a lot of driving between long lights but not much stop and go) with the rest being highway/country.

4. Auto. I believe the sport tuned auto is the only auto available on the M235i.

5. Shell VPower 91 with a few tanks of Petro 93.

Thumbs up Thanks For The Replies

Thanks all who have responded, this is greatly appreciated

To be honest I was expecting the figures to be much worse but so far the average from the responses I've received is: 23.9MPG ; 11.8L/100KM.

Hopefully we get more responses to get a better "true" overall average figure.

your imp to us milage is incorrect. US gallons are smaller so you'd get less mpg rather then more.

Auto and manual seem a bit closer to one another than I thought they'd be; I'd guess that they're actually pretty comparable if you drive at least somewhat spiritedly on occasion. That makes me lean slightly more toward changing my order to a manual; it'd be a done deal already if it wasn't a no-cost option in the US. :/
