Replying to: chaslewis2004 (Apr 14, 2006 12:24 pm) 330i, mostly highway miles in europe - 23 mpg averaging 100+ with runs above 140 for extended periods. Not bad given how hard the engine's working at those speeds.

#10 of 74 MPG for 2006 BMW 325xi by mtbmw Jul 15, 2006 (4:51 pm)
I have a 2006 BMW 325xi. For the first 4000 miles, I have been averaging 19-27 MPG. I am using nothing but premium gasoline. I wish it was better, but the car is so great that I can live with it right now.

#12 of 74 First 1000 miles by jjdow Jul 23, 2006 (5:01 pm)
I've had 2 short highway trips from 27-28 at avg. speed 65-70. If you want to keep your highway mileage over 30, find a nice straight road and put the cruise on 65-70 max.   In town, well under 20 without any agressive driving as I respect the breakin period so far. I'll post again later.   Dont get me wrong, 28 on the hway is awesome! I love this car. We were going 90 today on I10 and when I told my wife and 12 yr old... they did not believe me. Smooth and quiet!
#13 of 74 Mileage is quite good on 330ci automatic by benitocellini Jul 27, 2006 (9:31 am)
I have a 2001 330 ci, automatic with 225 h.p. It gets 18-19 mpg in city driving, including a DC commute,and 29 on the highway at 80+mpg (30 with the a/c off).
#14 of 74 Enjoying the milage by gerapau Aug 06, 2006 (9:52 am)
Have a 2006 325i with manual and get about 18-20MPG in the city and about 32-34MPG on the highway. Recently drove 600 miles with a fairly big Thule box on the roof averaging 75MPH and got about 30MPG. I can consistently get about 34-35MPG on the highway if I keep it at about 55MPH. My last car was an SUV so I am very happy with this mileage. Replies to this message: graphicguy (Aug 07, 2006 5:47 am)
