F10 fuel consumption

My F10 520i is now 4 months old and hovering around 3000km mileage.
I noticed my fuel consumption (Shell 98 ) hovers around 9.8km/L to 10.1km/L.
To me, this doesn't seem good. The specs say the car should be hitting 12km/L to 16km/L!
Even my previous E200 (based on same driving habit and distance) hits 12km/L.

I would like to get a feel from the community here how their F10s (520 or 528 ) are doing for fuel consumption.

Perhaps those who do a good mix of city/expressway pattern ought to respond to this post, just to get a 'fair' comparison.
(noted, driving styles, petrol type, distance would differ too but then we have to start from somewhere)

Thanks!

Probably F10 is a heavier ride than E200? what's the size of the rims on your E200 vs F10?










cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeers
 
Re: F10 fuel consumption

9-10km/l quite good already.

My ride 2 years ago was 5+ km/l ....

The way merc and bmw calculate consumption is different.......

BMW is always about the DRIVE. Who care about FC?

If care about FC, bought wrong car.

Good point - E200 on 245/45R17 while F10 on 245/45R18.

Also non-RFT vs RFT
 
Re: F10 fuel consumption

My F10 managed 800km on hard driving on a full tank. Cost me abt $96 per 800km.

In case u guys wondering how is it possible? I was driving a 520d.

Agree. Forget about FC and just enjoy the "Driving Experience". :)

Besides, everyone drives different routes and drive differently...........

Re: F10 fuel consumption

If you care about sheer driving pleasure , BMW is for you.

If you care about FC , Borneo Motor is the best.

Both also BM.

My FC is only 7km/L.

BMW SUCKS!

So far, around 7km/L seems like typical fc. Guess I should be happy with my 9.8-10km/L then.
I think what disappointed me about the F10 fc is the impression it gave me - not very accurate leh.
On paper specs, the F10 and new E200/250 have very similar fc.
Also BMW keeps bragging abt its EfficientDynamics.
All these marketing gave me the impression that its fc should not be far off from merc's fc.

Maybe next time I get the 520d ...
 
Re: F10 fuel consumption

Personally, I feel that BMW is more of a driver's car.

We sacrifice FC for the thrill of driving the Ultimate Driving Machine

This type of big boob chicken cannot be found in KFC.
