528i true mpg uk f10 msport

[bijits1984]

Hi,
Looking to buy a second hand bmw 528i automatic f10 in the m sport trim. My daily drive to work ~ roughly 4 days a week...40 miles in total...with 15 miles of town driving and rest in dual carriageway and motorway... whar sort of mpg can i expect?

6 or 4 pot?

I have a 6 pot f10 530i going for sale soon. I can comment on mpg if it's the six pot you are buying. Low 20 around town and mid 30's on a run. I don't hang about and have a heavy foot. Hope this helps.

I think the F10 528i is 4 cylinder.

They are both - the early ones were 6 cylinder N53's, replaced in July 2011 by the 4 cylinder turbo.

According to Honest John so must be true.

Had that engine gearbox combo in my 328i touring (sold a couple of months ago). Would imagine it's pretty similar mpg wise.

On a 60-70mph commute low 40s was the norm. Press on and it was low 30s. We did 2000 miles in Europe this summer, 4 up, boot load of luggage and saw 38.5 driving at the speed limits.

My overall average over 3 years/40k was 35mpg.

That's really helpful.

I think then then 5 series with the extra bit of weight - i should be getting around 32 - 33 mpg.
