Not bad and thank you for showing this and giving more details!

I've been consistently been getting 730-740km, 460miles per tank in comfort mode.

I'm light-footed and heavy user of coasting feature on EcoPro mode.
I get around 480 miles per gallon in the U.S. (SoCal) 50/50, street/freeway.

Is it just me or driving efficiently is also pretty entertaining. I love how this huge car can get such a good mileage and have the performance when needed. I just wish I could set EcoPro as default at my discretion.

I think I am the only one getting shitty mileage with this thing. I try to be light footed and coast to stops as much as possible but only manage about 16-18 mpg in city driving 11 miles.

Ya it's really amazing on gas, kinda unbelievable.
I recently got 500 miles last tank which is 800km.

Just passed 1,100 miles...21.6 mpg. Mainly (70%) hwy, around town (30%), but very hilly area. Since 2nd fill up, 23.0 mpg. Very impressive for new motor, but driven pretty conservatively....so far. E0 91 gas.
Tried sport & sport plus briefly....that REALLY makes a difference. Going to be hard to keep in comfort. Eco mode appears to have significant mileage benefit, but will only use on extended trips...feels like I'm pulling a load of stone. Not noticeable at steady speeds.

Screenshots taken just before from my last 2 refuelling. Mostly city driving. Vehicle driven around 1700 kms.

You might need more break-in period? I'm also using premium gas (91) and eco-pro all the way. Socal is pretty toasty too. Temperature has a good amount of effect.

Yes that is my hope. I’m at 431 miles and the lifetime average is 16.5 mpg. Eco-pro isn’t too practical in city driving. Will run it on my upcoming 400 mile trip.

You definitely need more time haha. I'm at around 4000. Hope you enjoy your new ride

I picked up my 40i M Sport, 21 inch wheels, two and a half weeks ago. All city driving, first tank was about 15 MPG, and second tank was up 1 MPG to 16 MPG. Third tank, so far I am at about 17.5 MPG.

bizfiend · 06-25-2019, 10:43 PM

I've only used 89 octane and mainly comfort mode.

The "Trip Data" app in iDrive

maczrool · 06-29-2019, 03:10 PM

400 mile trip. Got 25.3 mpg with Eco.

jasrboyd · 06-29-2019, 04:49 PM

Drove a 200 mile trip the other day in comfort mode going 65-80 mph got 25.2 mpg.
I have to admit very impressed with the mileage I get both city and highway.

You are in the Trip Data page and I think he is referring to the Trip Data that can be set up on the homepage/other screens.

How do you set that up

Here is a video on adding widgets. I think the trip data is called Driving Information.

GTF · 06-30-2019, 12:12 PM

Turtleboy correct...
Here are 2 (full size) images....one since delivery (1282 miles, 21.6 mpg) and since last refill (121 miles, 21.9 mpg).

bmwxyz97 · 06-30-2019, 05:30 PM

When folks say 'using the coasting feature of eco pro' - is it simply selecting eco pro as a drive mode?

I don't know if there is a coasting button of some sort?
