750 individual

[Chablonski]

Hi all, anybody got any MPG figures for this model and tips on buying one ?

[bmw2002]

Year/Mileage/iL?

Being an 'individual' wont affect mpg. Unless its a 'protection' model.

1998 750i V12 mileage not stated in the AD, a bit ominous!!!

You should get around 17mpg average from the V12, good strong engines but with no mileage given expect it to stellar!!

I used to average 23 mpg on mine (which replaced an Audi S8 that would only do 20 mpg at best on a long run). Only lots of town driving would get it below, and 27 was achievable with restraint. I don't think fuel consumption is a reason to avoid the V12.

23MPG. I can't crack that over a tank on my mostly urban but flowing routes. And that is with half a V12 mated to an auto box in a 3 series...

I average 23-24 mpg with my E39 528, lots of town driving mind.

Going on the basis of what I currently get plus a little bit I'd say 12 around town and around 25ish mpg at reasonable motorway speeds.

7 series are fantastic cars, i have just got one in december, done around 500 miles init, and has been great. fuel consumption is not great, but when driving around in this sort of a car, you dont realy care. Mines only a 4.4 V8, but it still pulls like a train.

long term average 14.8. I do 35 miles a day, 1/3 is urban. I have a fairly heavy foot

You have a 528 with the 5.5 V12 in?

I wish! I was just highlighting the fact that I don't seem to be getting much more MPG from my car (2.8 6 cylinder) than that big old V12 750!
