330d Touring - Real world MPG?
Discussion
Seem to recall high 30's low 40's out of mine but always drove like a t
t. Think I get 42 out of my 530 Saloon but don't take a lot of notice, price of fuel and it's rate of consumption just gets depressing so I ignore it and just get to where I am going as fast and with as much enjoyment as possible. If you want MPG get a 1.9 Audi A4 Avant, used to get 54 out of one of those.

You should get 35mpg+ from the auto and 40mpg+ from the manual. I've only ever owned the manual, and repeatedly got 42mpg or a little more out of them. Cracking car. A 2000 model will be the early M57 unit with 184bhp and 288ft/lbs of torque. As usual, check that the turbo is ok and if the swirl flaps haven't been blanked, get that done. Also change the oil separator for the "vortex" version.

Many thanks, great advice! Ade07 said:
I'm looking at buying a 2000 plate 330d Auto Touring.
Anyone have an idea of average real world MPG figures?
Cheers
my 2003 one does about 32 mpg, but I do tend to drive it hard every now and then...Anyone have an idea of average real world MPG figures?

If the swirl flaps haven't been done, get them done asap, been there and learnt that lesson!
I've been only driving a few miles to the train station for a few months. My manual 03 has gone from 45mpg on my normal comute to around 30mpg in town. I was quite suprised how low it had got.
Back to nromal the week after next - god I've missed driving. Although reading a paper on the train every morning has been nice....

Our 330d sport touring seems to get about 32-35mpg town driving, can see up to 48 with the kind of motorway driving that doesn't involve a lot of speeding up and slowing down. Once you're at cruising velocity it basically rolls itself along with torque with very little excess foot-pressing required to keep the speed up. Very different experience from driving a 318i at the same speeds!
