Whatever the F10 M5 ( I think 17/22) this car should get 2-4 miles/gal better in grandma mode. That should give you a better idea. Some guys over there get 24-26 at highway cruising also so maybe you can hit 30. The best i can do on the S65 is 20.

Agree with your EPA testing and EPA ratings comments. Quote:

My comment was directed at this reply which didn’t exactly “consider the whole picture”; particularly so as the 5.5k to 7.5k rpm range of the S55 engine delivers no additional power in that range. Cheers.

But as was discussed previously, this is a bit irrelevant since most of the EPA test is done at partial throttle. |

Imperial gallons most likely.

Strawman much? Since when was I talking about subsets of the power band?

So exactly the same as an Audi S6 which is heavier and has a V8.
Why didn't BMW stick with the V8 if that's the case??? |

You weren't. That's been my interest. However, yes, I agree the power difference between the S55 and S54 is a factor in consumption; just not the only factor.

If history repeats itself, the EPA numbers will be XX/XX then owners will begin reporting their XX/XX at one, two, three or four mpg less than that on the Monroney sticker. Someday EPA may amend the label with "Do not expect EPA test fuel mileage if you drive it like you stole it."

Many will report less mpg, especially when driven "like you're supposed to" aka lots of wot and never letting the car remember what efficient mode is. Then they'll be those who drive it often like a normal daily driver and see above the EPA estimates. I know from personal experience in my f30 335 at I normally see 2mpg above EPA estimates as I see no need to race from red light to red light . When I take it to the auto x or just feel some spirited driving need, however, my consumption increases and my mpg looks more like what I used to see in my 5.4L 4x4 f150. Ok not that bad but approaching that level. |

I was expecting 30 mpg on granny mode, at least 28 but instead I'm getting 24 at the most.. I hope the range on a full tank is more than 400 miles.. Now I see why the next gen M4 is going to be 4 cylinder hybrid no way we're gonna make that 35 mpg combined with these current engine layouts

Does 17/26 mean a gas guzzler tax? EPA website states 55% city and 45% highway which would be 21.5 mpg. This would mean $1k gas guzzler per epa website.
I don't know if this is correct or not. Thanks. |

No no no!!! No gas guzzler tax. Discussed ad nauseam in other gas mileage thread.

The closest engine to the S55 BMW has built is the N54. It gives EPA 17/26...sounds familiar?
Give some for EPS, Valvetronic and some other advances and take some from raising psi with resulting power bump. There were too many confident people here aggressively talking up the expectation beyond reason. Quite rudely as well if I remember right. |
