What is the fuel consumption of the 3 Series?
2 Answers
2.0T automatic transmission fuel consumption is 11.1L/100KM. Fuel consumption calculation method: Calculate based on the formula: Fuel consumption per 100km = Volume of fuel (liters) ÷ Distance traveled with that fuel (kilometers) × 100. When refueling, fill up to the fuel filler neck and start counting the kilometers. Next time you refuel, fill up to the fuel filler neck again (for accuracy), then divide the amount spent on fuel by the fuel price to get the liters consumed. Factors affecting fuel consumption: Various driving conditions such as acceleration, deceleration, braking, and engine idling, as well as load capacity, ambient temperature, and whether the air conditioning is on, all affect a car's fuel consumption.
As a daily commuter driving a BMW 3 Series, I find its fuel consumption quite reasonable. My 325i averages around 7 liters per 100 km on highways during city traffic jams, but surges to 9 liters during rush hour congestion. There's notable variation between models—the 320i hybrid version is more fuel-efficient, while the 330i offers stronger performance at slightly higher consumption. Driving habits significantly impact fuel economy: sudden braking or speeding increases usage, whereas smooth driving and regular maintenance (like oil changes and air filter replacements) improve efficiency. Weather also plays a role—summer AC use raises consumption. Overall, mixed driving conditions yield around 8 liters per 100 km, which is reasonable for urbanites seeking both driving dynamics and cost-efficiency.
