![]() In my experience I get little to no mpg benefit using Eco Pro on motorways (i.e. cruising at a steady throttle).

It monitors how you drive in non ECOPRO mode and compares, so if you did a track day in SPORT then trundled home in ECO it would show a huge saving.
If you drive sensibly to start with, ECO PRO may not show any fuel saving.

Interesting - motorway (or steady speed) driving is where I see the most gain, whereas I see little difference on "normal" roads.

It is how guys were getting over 60mpg from 1.9 - 2.0 litre diesels over 15 years ago, without any Eco modes, just light driving, cutting down energy demands. BMW are helping more drivers see what is possible, that can only be a good thing, if it shows what can be achieved if we drive moderately. HighlandPete |
