What is the fuel tank capacity of the BMW e46?
2 Answers
The fuel tank capacity of the BMW e46 is 60 liters. Methods to check the fuel tank capacity of a car: Check through the owner's manual. The car manual can be considered a comprehensive guide, containing detailed information about the vehicle, from maintenance cycles to the fuel tank capacity. Owners can refuel based on this capacity, and it is advisable not to exceed the safe capacity. Fuel tank capacity measurement units: Internationally, the standard unit for measuring car fuel tank capacity is liters (L). Different countries also have corresponding standards for fuel tank capacity. In China, the regulation stipulates that the fuel tank capacity should be 95% of the rated value, but in practice, the actual capacity is usually greater than the nominal capacity.
I remember when I drove the BMW E46, the fuel tank capacity was around 63 liters. A full tank could take me quite far, easily covering 500-600 kilometers on the highway, but in city traffic with congestion, the range might drop to just over 400 kilometers. When I first started driving it, I liked to track fuel consumption, averaging around 11 liters per 100 kilometers. To save fuel, gentle driving was key, avoiding aggressive starts. When refueling, I made it a habit to fill up when the tank was down to a quarter to prevent fuel pump overheating and damage. Regularly checking the oil dipstick was also important, especially for an older car to avoid rust or oil leaks. Overall, this size was just right, making long trips worry-free.
