Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

when sport mode is activated, engine output and driving dynamics take on sportier qualities, letting you enjoy your BMW's dynamic character at its peak.

My E60 530i averaged around 8km/ltr before it was poisoned. After modifications and a heavy right foot, it came down to 6.2km/ltr.

Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

Its so jammed packed from my house to office and back - my definition of city driving is that I never had a chance to rev above 1.8k rpm ..... every week day.

Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

My fuel consumption is bad! below 7km/l for a 2007 e60 530... is that normal? I suspect my previous owner modded the car heavily... is there an easy way to reset ECU or I may have to retune it

Take a drive to KL @ constant speed of 150km/h. If FC is around 11km/L, it is likely that ur route has too much traffic light.

My previous E39 520 can't achieve anything better than 7.3km/L on this island. On NSH, it is definitely 11km/L.

Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

davidtch you're right it was normal city driving with traffic lights. I guess I'm not used to a 3 litre engine, but if the 2.1 litre engine has that high fuel consumption too, I guess the 5 series cars are heavy? Curb weight is supposedly 1,535–1,735 kg

Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

Traffic lights in singapore is getting quite intense. I need 15-20 mins to get to work on average due to traffic lights even though distance is 3.5 km max max max. Isnt that crazy? The shortest route with least number of traffic lights is 10.

Re: E60 "Sports" Mode

Walk to work since it's just 3.5km away

My home to office is 5km & traffic on Geylang Rd is horrible. So, i cycle to work.

There are ways to lower it not by much.

If next traffic light is no more than 500m, juz let the car coast along without any throttle input. If kenna stomp, pls show us.

If it is a long stretch of clear road, accelerate fast so that it get to the 6th gear & coast at that speed.

Lastly, lift your foot off throttle as early as possible before the oncoming stop. Don't use neutral. It should be the highest gear possible.
