What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 3 Series?
2 Answers
BMW 3 Series fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is around 8.5 liters. Car fuel consumption: Generally, the onboard computer provides an average fuel consumption value, which is displayed on the dashboard, but there is usually some discrepancy with the actual fuel consumption. Specific car fuel consumption can be calculated using a formula. Car fuel consumption considerations: Plan your route before driving, check traffic conditions, and try to avoid roads prone to traffic jams. Maintain a steady speed while driving, as unstable driving speeds can increase fuel consumption by about 6% in suburban areas and 2% in urban areas. Avoid carrying unnecessary items in the car to reduce weight and fuel consumption.
As a BMW 3 Series owner, I usually drive the 320i for my daily commute, with city fuel consumption averaging around 8 to 9 liters per 100 kilometers, while on the highway it drops to just over 6 liters. This experience comes from actual driving—BMW's official test data might be lower, but real-world conditions are heavily influenced by road conditions, weather, and driving habits. For example, aggressive acceleration or running the AC at full blast can cause an instant spike in fuel consumption, while using Eco mode and smooth driving can save a lot of fuel. I remember one long-distance trip where I used cruise control the whole way, and the fuel consumption was only 5.8 liters. I recommend regular tire checks and maintenance, as low tire pressure or carbon buildup can increase fuel consumption by over 10%. Switching to a high-quality engine oil can also improve efficiency, but overall, BMW engines are quite smart and not too thirsty—more economical than expected. Before buying, take multiple test drives to get a feel for real-world performance.
