What is the fuel consumption of the imported 5 Series?
2 Answers
The fuel consumption of the BMW 5 Series ranges between 6.3L and 9.9L. Here is some information about fuel consumption: 1. Overview: Generally, it refers to the amount of gasoline consumed per 100 kilometers, which is a theoretical indicator for vehicles. 2. Methods to reduce fuel consumption: The longer the idling time when parked, the higher the fuel consumption, so try to minimize idling time; avoid sudden acceleration, hard pressing of the accelerator, and driving at low RPMs. 3. 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 have an impact.
As a long-time owner of a standard-wheelbase 5 Series, I'd like to share my real-world experience. I've been driving this 530i for over two years, mainly commuting on Shanghai's elevated roads and urban areas. Fuel consumption is quite high in traffic jams, with the dashboard showing 11-12 liters per 100km. Weekend highway drives are much more comfortable, usually staying around 7 liters. I always keep two cases of mineral water in the trunk, which might increase fuel consumption by about half a liter compared to an empty car. Once I swapped cars with a friend's 540i - his 3.0T engine could reach 14 liters when driven aggressively, but only about 1 liter more than mine when driven gently. My most fuel-efficient long-distance trip was returning from Hangzhou to Shanghai at night with light traffic, maintaining 110km/h cruise control, achieving a surprising 6.8 liters per 100km.
