Less Fuel Capacity on MPPSK?

Nikkz · 06-20-2022, 01:48 PM

This might be a dumb question but when my 340i had stock exhaust, filling up the gas, it would give me 315 miles. After getting Mppsk, im getting around 265 miles when car is full. Is that normal?

The tank capacity hasn't changed, your driving habits probably have.

Thats definitely true. But I was referring to the mileage # on the cluster. It used to say 315 miles after filling up the gas now its says 265

The cluster shows an estimated miles remaining based on your recent driving habits.

Ah makes sense. I thought that was fixed #

Nope. It changes in real time as well. I was running low while driving through the Berkshires. After driving uphill for maybe five minutes the miles remaining dropped, like from 40 to 20, based on the fuel consumption rate for that five minutes. Upon cresting the hill and going downhill for five minutes it changed again, from 20 to 50, because I'd been coasting.

Max boost is a bit higher so more fuel is used.. plus you're driving more aggressive. All on you man.

It's so worth it though lol. The sound of the exhaust is ear candy 😀

If it was fixed, it would be virtually useless.
