Gas mileage Gas mileage, So What would F30/32 M3 be like?

jaehshim · 02-20-2012, 01:27 PM

So the new FI M5 is out, new "slightly" improved F30 335 & unexpected pleasuring 328i is out.

Anyone take a guess at what the realistic F30/32's M3 Inline 6 Tri-turbo gas mileage would be like?

Uninteresting, since the M3 does not get inline-6

According to this article the new F10 M5 is getting on average 24 MPG:

I figure if a Twin Turbo V8 is getting on average 24 MPG, then a V6/I6 Tri/Twin Turbo (or whatever the engine variant) should be getting better than that [I would hope] or the same.

So, if I were to put down a guess, I would say the new M3/M4 should be getting an average of 25 MPG, conservatively.

Anything more than now would be nice. I don't care about the mileage, I'm just tired of filling up all the time, and that needle constantly moving. Would love to at least achieve 20.

Range is my problem... 210/220 miles per tank is really annoying.

Yeah that's what i'm taking about. The tank needs to be a bit bigger, but I know that goes against weight. That range is crazy.

dont believe that non sense, the M5 will not get anything like that in the real world. Hell, the f10 550xi my friend has doesnt return more than 14mpg in mixed driving. The new M5 will be in the similar range, at most.

Im going to guess the next gen will be 20/25mpg range if I had to guess but who knows if could be shocking and be north of 30mpg.

So now it seems that the F80 M3 won't be none of those tri-turbo with one electric "hybrid" motor Bullsxxt.
It will be V6 3.0/3.3L Twin Turbo. Now I wonder about thie MPG battle again...

On a side note, the current 550i is V8 4.4L TT 400hp/450lb and does 15/22.
How can a M tuned V8 4.4L TT 560hp/502lb with more power and grunt claim to do 28~30mpg highway? (Even if there could be some weight difference, the official weight difference is within 100kg).
