Hi all, done 356 miles so far filled the car with diesel........................
.......... 37 MPG that's mostly out of town driving, which is crap IMO.
I hope this improves as I have not been driving hard at all.

[dopper99]

Yeah that's crap, should have kept the M3.

[Wills2]

Yep the 35d isn't that economical in my experience but you have to balance that against the power on offer.

It'll get better than that I'm sure. I know it's a 335 but my 330 was averaging around 40-42 with all types of driving and traffic etc and not worrying about mpg. If wanting to get good mpg and doing a run would be mid 50's. I'm sure it'll be fine when run in

[dopper99]

To be honest, it'll probably improve. Just bear with it.

Quelle surprise! I agree high 30's is a bit disappointing but given experience with my F31 I reckon that's where they're at as an overall average; perhaps your 435d will improve a bit with mileage (although my 335d hasn't) but welcome to the club John....

I ve done 1200 miles now and reset it while I was on motorway.
Engine warmed up. Steady 80mph.
It started showing 50mpg.
Then I came into town.
Bit of a blast with a cookin mercy Benz and it's back down to about 35.
You can get good mpg. If u drive it like its a 318d.
Only problem is any little gap and you just gotta................

What were you expecting from a brand new engine? You didn't ask the sales guy did you

Really? I think that's good, only 1mpg less than my 330d sdrive averaged! On a long run you should get high 40's taking it fairly easy.

My first tank managed just under 400 miles, that included a fair few motorway miles, I'm hoping for better, the car is currently showing 38 mpg with just under 1k on the clock and running on Shell V Power.

However, my previous car was a 2.2d 4wd and that was averaging 31 mpg (performance was nowhere near as good as the 335d though), so the 335d is an improvement on that, but I am still hoping for better.

[on_the_virge]

I am getting 35mpg in stop start traffic from my 330d so reckon yours is as expected....

[Consett Mag]

Just looked it up - my first tank in my 330d S.drive was 36mpg. It did improve on that.

[jnismith]

Your 335d will stabilise in the high 30's. If you do a lot of motorway, it will get over 40.

I really hope so, they filled it with TESCO diesel, not sure if that was any gfood will try shell next time.

I am out of town so it should improve no stop start for me.
It feels tight though, needs a good thrash I think.

I think it should improve, it's not so much worrying about the MPG it's not much better at the moment than the M3.............

[pdk42]

When I had a 330d xdrive I struggled to get 40mpg even trying hard. Average was usually 35-37. Swapped it for a 335i and things have definitely improved - 30mpg but much bigger smile on face!

Get away!
The M3 is never going to return 37mpg. Probably 10mpg less than that ...... at best I would have thought?

Mine avaraged 28 MPG over 6K miles and I was not hanging around, it could easy see 33MPG on a run.

[dopper99]

Hang in there John and give it a chance. Forget about the mpg and enjoy it for a few weeks then check it again. You will get well over 40mpg on a run once its got a few miles on it.
