Re: 116i Fuel Consumption
I believe you chose 116 initially because it's a bimmer with low cost maintenance. Low fuel cost, low road tax, low insurance etc.
Firstly, you must throw the brochure out of the window! Half of what is printed is either you do not have it or must pay for it. Especially true for bimmer.
Next, must ask where the test conducted to get 17km/l FC. Germany, where the weather is cool and ideal for engine or wat? Highways in Germany not like CTE or PIE. Zoom zoom all the way.
End of the day, why bother with so much stress after paying so much $ for bimmer?
Enjoy the ride and forget about FC! Then you will know exactly wat you are paying for!

Re: 116i Fuel Consumption
FC is highly dependent on your driving pattern, speed and traffic condition.
On f10, if I drive like I do daily, I get 8.7km/L @70% highway.
If I drive 20km/hr slower, I can get 9.6km/L.
If I do pure city driving...1L can get 6km is already smile big big already. No,my rev don't exceed 3000.
So you see, same car same load also can vary a lot.

Re: 116i Fuel Consumption
Thanks all for your comments!
Somehow agree that buying a bimmer, i should not be paying attention to the FC, just enjoy the ride... haha. But a bit hard leh... has been a habit to see how much the car drank...
I wish to ask another question to all... do i need to pump 98 for this car (stock), or 95 is sufficient? I know the user manual says 95 is enuff, but just wish to get all the expert's opinion in this forum.

Re: 116i Fuel Consumption
=) whether 98/95/92, Fc lower, pump petrol only during cool temperatures. as long as it's a happy event for you, it's fine to continue. =P
Like the new commercial about the guy changing his own tyre in his chauffeured Bentley, as long as he enjoys it and feels damn important and power just by doing that =)
