Fuel consumption on xdrive 20d auto

Hi all

I just want to check what your fuel consumtion figures are like in mpg. I bought my x1 xdrive 20d auto the 18th November 2010. Love the car, great in snow and so far great but, a bit concerned regarding fuel as the figures provided by BMW don't seem quite right (36 mpg urban). I don't know if any of you is having the same experience. My driving so far has been around town with a very occasional use of the motorways.

These are my figures:

average speed: 22.8
mpg: 32.1
total mileage: 1600


Thanks

Seems about right cris considering that you car is still very new and its winter. Mine has dropped to about 31mpg in this very cold weather as I am running heated seats, rear window, heater at full blast. Also letting the car warm up for about 30min in the morning which is also hitting consumption.

Not surprising, although fuel consumption (unless totally out of whack which would indicate an engine problem) is no concern of mine, and I never bothered checking.

Might give you an indication : with my SDrive 20d I clock approx 900 kms on a single full tank. You do the math.

I even reached close to 1100 kms last Fall, when aircon is not needed and with my driving style (call it conscious eco-driving!)

Driving style is always the key though.. I could probably bring it down to 12 miles a gallon if I drove it like my company car for which I don't pay for gas..

I am not sure about the D.P.F (diesel particle filter), fitted to X1, but earlier BMW'S used to clog up with soot in low temperatures and especially with short travelling distances and a constant run speed for 50 miles restored mpg and performance , worth a try ??

Many of the first diesel engines equipped with particule filters (circa 2006/2007) clogged up if not run regularly on highway. This has been fixed by most manufacturers.

That's what I always thought - if during the week you're only doing short runs keep away from a diesel.

But the thing is that BMW don't really produce really efficient 4-cyl petrol engines - VW/Audi et al have long overtaken them in this regard with their direct-injection supercharged/turbocharged petrol 4s. In fact a new 6-cyl 523i beats the 4s on all fronts!

The 2.0ls in the sDrive18i I've ordered and in the 3-series are about 5 years behind technologically. However they will make the leap with the new 3.
