Is the BMW 3 Series fuel consumption high?

[BriellaLynn]

BMW 3 Series fuel consumption is 8.0 liters per 100 kilometers, which is not very high. Reasons for increased fuel consumption: Using higher viscosity engine oil increases resistance during engine operation; prolonged warm-up can lead to more carbon deposits and the engine injects more fuel to maintain operation at low temperatures; frequent short-distance driving; carrying heavy items in the car for extended periods; low tire pressure; switching to wider tires. Impact of temperature on fuel consumption: Fluctuations in fuel consumption due to temperature changes are normal. Generally, in winter when temperatures are low, fuel consumption increases slightly, almost comparable to fuel consumption when using air conditioning in summer. This is because lower temperatures cause the engine to dissipate more heat. If the vehicle hasn't been serviced for a long time, dirty engine oil and air filters can also lead to increased fuel consumption.

I've driven the BMW 3 Series 330i, and I think the fuel consumption is okay, not particularly high. For daily city driving, it's about 9 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers, and it can drop to around 7 liters on the highway. Although it's higher than the Japanese car I drove before, the driving experience is unparalleled—the steering responds immediately, and the acceleration is exhilarating. The money saved on gasoline is exchanged for driving pleasure, and I think it's worth it. If you maintain it properly, like keeping the tire pressure normal and changing the oil regularly, the fuel consumption will be more stable. Don't stomp on the gas in traffic jams, or it can go up to 11 liters. In short, for those who love driving, this fuel consumption is completely acceptable—after all, the most important thing is the joy of driving.

As someone in auto repair, I find the BMW 3 Series fuel consumption quite moderate. The base 320i averages 8-9L/100km in city driving, around 6L on highways. BMW engines are efficient, but high-performance versions like the M3 can exceed 12L. Fuel usage depends heavily on driving style - sport mode with aggressive driving spikes consumption, while normal mode saves. Maintenance is key; cleaning fuel injectors improves efficiency. Long-term, it's more fuel-efficient than some American cars but can't match hybrids. Regular electrical system checks are advised - don't ignore minor issues. Overall great value, offering precise handling without excessive fuel costs.

In my opinion, the BMW 3 Series has relatively high fuel consumption, which is not environmentally friendly. I support green transportation, as gasoline cars emit a lot of carbon during combustion, and urban average consumption of over 9 liters means significant resource usage. Choosing the i-Series electric vehicles would be better, or opting for hybrid versions that save half the fuel. I recommend driving less and using public transport or bicycles more to reduce emissions. Protecting the Earth requires action, and choosing low-energy-consumption vehicles is the first step. Simple adjustments to habits can reduce emissions and save energy.

Using a BMW 3 Series for daily commuting, I find the fuel consumption a bit high and hard on the wallet. In city traffic jams, the fuel consumption exceeds 11 liters per 100 km, and a full tank can't even last 500 km before needing a refill, costing over a thousand yuan per month on fuel. Compared to my old Honda, which only consumed about 5 liters, the savings were much greater. Although the performance is good, the pressure on the household budget is significant. I suggest office workers consider small-displacement cars or carpooling to save money. On weekends, long-distance driving can reduce fuel consumption to about 7 liters, which is good, but it's hard to avoid high consumption in the city. A small tip is to adjust tire pressure to reduce resistance, which can slightly lower fuel consumption, but the effect is limited.
