BMW 3-Series Gas Mileage (MPG)

Unlike other fuel economy surveys, TrueDelta's Real-World Gas Mileage Survey includes questions about how and where a car was driven. So you can get an idea of the BMW 3-Series's real-world MPG based on how and where you drive a car.

I like words better than numbers.

BMW 3-Series Fuel Economy: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2012	4dr Sedan turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The new twin turbo I4 produces great fuel economy and performance. Estimated 36 highway is great for a performance car, I'll report my mpg after I've had it awhile. 3 different drive modes, (economy, comfort, sport) depending on your mood.
2009	4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	42 mpg with cruise at 75. 30 mpg+ mix of freeway & town driving. 25 mpg with all in-town driving.
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very good fuel economy on highway if you allow cruise control to manage speed - 26-29 mpg. In town it drops to 19-21 mpg and if you play boy racer then it'll drop to the 15 mpg area.
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Very good fuel economy on highway if you allow cruise control to manage speed - 26-29 mpg. In town it drops to 19-21 mpg and if you play boy racer then it'll drop to the 15 mpg area.
2008	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	30 mpg on the highway at 70mph is just fine for a 3500 pound car.
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	averages 25+mpg for a mix of freeway/city driving
2008	2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	better than my previous car (Infiniti G35), reasonable mpg for the performance offered
2008	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	better than 20mpg in town, up to 30 on the highway
2007	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	With a large engine (300hp), it gets 26-29 on the hwy and around 19 in the city.
2007	4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Where else can you get great performance and good fuel economy?
2007	2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Given my driving habits, it gets far better mileage than many of its competitors would (G35 for example).
2007	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I get 22.5 MPG driving like a bat out of hell.
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	It has so much power and I still manage 23-24 mpg in town.
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Averaging 21 MPG is 70% city/30% freeway driving. On a long road trip I average 29 MPG (includes a few mountain passes and 80 MPH average speed.)
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Can be quite thirsty if driven with high spirit
2005	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	Most efficient six cylinder car in its class--real world results include 22-24 mpg in suburban driving and 30+ on the highway.
2004	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	excellent for its class and performance
BMW 3-Series Fuel Economy: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I knew it would drink a lot of premium fuel, but my first day of driving around the city, mostly normally, was less than 15 mpg. I swear, I wasn't pounding the gas pedal either!
2009	2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD	16 mpg for light city/highway driving. 16 gallon fuel tank limits range to about 300 miles for typical owners (assuming you run the tank dry).
2009	4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD	M3 averages 16.6 mpg. Spirited driving brings it to single digits. There is hardly any need for that, given the recent engine advances.
2009	2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 7-speed automated manual RWD	I only get 18. This car should get more like 23, much like a vette or cts.
2009	4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD	Its a 414 hp V8. It drinks a lot.
2008	2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD	While you might say 'why bitch if you can afford the car?' the mpg can be SHOCKINGLY bad. I knew what I was getting into, and yes, I can afford it, but wow. My True Delta average is 16.5mpg but that can dip into the 12's bumper to bum
2008	2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	press the gas watch the fuel go down
2008	4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I average 20-22 mpg. getting expensive to run the car. I wish it was in the mid 20s, but 6 cyl and awd I guess it could be worse. and its not direct injection engine (reminds me to buy the injector cleaner stuff!)
2008	4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Need to burn a lot of dinosaurs if you have a lead foot like me.
2008	4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Less than the A3. Though the base 328i has a larger 6 cylinder engine while the A3 is a 4 cylinder turbo. 328i is also larger and heavier. It is more closer toa wagon while the A3 is closer to a hatchback.
2007	2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD	OK for the amount of power available
2007	2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The 328 coupe has mediocre fuel economy, even when driven very lightly - I get 32mpg in freeway driving. Having said that, the 335 has a spectacular engine which consumes about the same amount of fule but delivers 300hp.
2007	4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	expensive expensive expensive
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	not high enough for a small car
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	I really dont mind it. Nothing else on the list caught my eye.
2006	4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	BMW builds heavy cars which hurt fuel economy.
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Wish it could get closer to 35 mpg with price of gas. Averaging consistently between 24-27 mpg with an even mixture of highway/city.
2005	4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	Not as impressive as the TL.
2005	4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD	not sure how good it is
2002	2dr Coupe 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The fuel usage is normal for a six cylinder of this type.
