What is the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers for the BMW 730?
2 Answers
The BMW 730 is equipped with a 265 horsepower engine, with an official fuel consumption of 8L per 100 kilometers. The fuel tank capacity of the BMW 730 is 61L, and the distance it can travel on a full tank is 78/6.9*100=1130km. The fuel consumption of a car is directly related to five major factors: driving habits, the car itself, road conditions, natural wind, and environmental temperature. Specific factors that can increase fuel consumption are as follows: Driving habits: Aggressive driving, such as sudden acceleration, frequent overtaking, and not easing off the throttle before a red light, can increase fuel consumption. The car itself: Cars with larger displacement generally consume more fuel than those with smaller displacement because larger displacement usually means greater power, requiring more gasoline to burn and perform work. Cars with greater weight also consume more fuel because greater weight requires more driving torque. Road conditions: Driving on dirt roads, muddy roads, soft surfaces, or mountainous roads increases resistance and fuel consumption. Natural wind: Driving against the wind or on windy days increases the car's resistance and fuel consumption. Low environmental temperature: When the engine block temperature is low during a cold start, the injected gasoline is less likely to vaporize, requiring more gasoline to be injected for combustion, thus increasing fuel consumption. Additionally, at low temperatures, the engine's computer controls the engine to run at higher RPMs to warm up, which also increases fuel consumption.
As a long-time owner of the BMW 730, I usually drive it in the city with fuel consumption around 10 to 12 liters per 100 kilometers, especially during traffic jams when it's even more fuel-intensive. On the highway, it's more economical, averaging about 7 to 8 liters. While the car is comfortable to drive, its 3.0-liter engine delivers strong performance, naturally resulting in higher fuel consumption. For daily commutes, it's advisable to avoid aggressive acceleration and switch to eco mode when there are many traffic lights to save fuel. I recommend regular maintenance checks on the fuel system, such as spark plugs and filters, as these can help improve fuel efficiency. Otherwise, fuel consumption might spike to over 15 liters per 100 kilometers. Driving habits have the most significant impact on fuel consumption—smooth acceleration and avoiding idling can save a considerable amount of money in the long run.
