Fuel consumption: BMW 320iA LCI (F30 / MY2017)

Model (Code / Model Year): BMW 320iA LCI (F30 / MY2017)

Engine: 4-cylinder TwinPower-Turbo petrol engine (1998cm³)  - Engine code: B48B20
Transmission: 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission
Performance: 184hp / 270nm
0 to 100km/h: 7,3 sec
Top speed: 235km/h (147mp/h)
Weight: 1.450kg
Fuel tank (US gallons): 60 liters (15.85 US gallons)

The video below shows the approximate fuel consumption at different (constant) speeds. However, I drove this particular car for 3.000 kilometer on regular driving in different driving conditions. This resulted in a calculated fuel consumption during this trip averaged out at 6.84l / 100km, which I consider to be quite good for a petrol car in this class.

In the video I did a test of the consumption at different speeds. Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances. As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.
