F15 X5 Real World MPG
Discussion
I've got a 3.OD M Sport. I'm averaging in the low 30's roughly....based on I don't pay that much attention to it and just look at the in car trip every so often. That is based on mainly driving in ECO mode and driving at "average" speeds. If you do a lot of stop start driving it's a bit juicy, but anything big and heavy will be.
From memory the 4.0D and 5.0D were (according to official figures) approximately 1 or 2mpg worse on the combined cycle.

I've got a new 50d and I'm currently averaging 26mpg.
To be fair it's two weeks old and only done 600 miles. On my way to Heathrow this afternoon I averaged 30mpg.
Coming from an F10 M5 it's figures I've not seen for a while.
By the way, lovely, lovely cars :yes;
Go and have a look at the Sytner site, they've got a bucket load of new X5's for sale but be aware some are 2016 spec, 2017 with the new iDrive etc.

Hi,
I've had F15's with 30 and 40d engines. They both return early 30's average but if anything the 40d's were 1-2 mpg better, maybe they are working less hard? My use is about 35k a year, mixture of motorways and local running around including towing a double horse trailer. At a steady 80 it would happily deliver mid to upper 30's. One of these had mile ages over 10k though so mpg should improve. Great cars!

How can you tell which is which spec/mode year?To be fair it's two weeks old and only done 600 miles. On my way to Heathrow this afternoon I averaged 30mpg.

Also what differences are there on latest model?

The new iDrive 5 is a world away from the previous version.
Interior light changes, bits of fake leather being thrown in for good measure etc.
Other than that the same.

Very helpful on the MPG's Gents. Only time I've seen 30mpg is when the cruise control is on in a 50mph roadworks. I average 23mpg now but when I lived in London that was less than 20mpg.
Is your E70 a 30d or 40d? mine is an LCI 40d, and is averaging above 30mpg (just), albeit I don't live in London, but commuter belt. Goes to show what the heavy body does, when the wife X3 equivalent does quite a few mpg more, and it spends it life pottering around townKrisP said:

I have an 8 mile commute which would give me 44mpg in my old f11 520d (and 18-19mpg in my CLK63!!)
Motorway speeds it will deliver 37-39mpg
heavy traffic as little as 29mpg
My wife's old e53 3.0d gave a long term average of 26mpg....

I had a 2014 F15 40d and my average was 31mpg. I must have a heavy foot
I fyou do a lot of stop/start urban driving that really hurts MPG in these cars ? garym3m5 said:

I fyou do a lot of stop/start urban driving that really hurts MPG in these cars ? I had a 2008 SD and replaced it with a 2014 40d, I generally find that the new car is 20-25% more efficient in all circumstances, typically I get/got:
21mpg v 26mpg around town
28mpg v 36 mpg on a motorway journey
Economy mode seems to help, in sports mode it seems to select a lower gear making it much more responsive but uses a lot more fuel, around town I find economy mode to be much more refined and the silence from start/stop to be quite relaxing.
