Mileage on your N26 (x28i) engine?

TankerJoe · 08-17-2014, 06:58 AM

Just over 2K miles on my F32 with a N26 engine and 6MT. I've experienced 29.5 MPG and better on highway trips with avg speeds nearing 80 MPH (yep, I live in the land of the autobahn). I'm interested in your feedback about whether you're getting comparable fuel economy in the States?

My F30 328i is 10 months old with 9,000 miles on it. I average about 29 MPG on about 70% highway driving (70 MPH average) and 30% around town driving. On a longer highway trip I ( with the car loaded down) I got 31 MPG in Comfort mode. I will be driving from DC to Boston (1,000 miles round trip) next week so I'll let you know how I do. The car won't be loaded down and I'll try Eco mode. I'm expecting to get 34-36 MPG. We'll see.
