BMW claim an average 54mpg for the 640d which I can't even achieve even using the lightest of touch. How they achieve this figure will be based on the same sort of test software nonsense that has landed VW in the doodaa. It's about time the test and inspection processes caught onto this. But hey, 38mpg is good enough for me


I averaged 56.2 mpg on a 200mile trip 3days ago in my uk 640d, cruise control & ecopro
Reading this I'm sure my 640d must have a egr issue or something like that.
I drove 220 miles very light footed max 70mph in comfort mode and the highest it went was 41mpg.
The last 3k miles has averaged 33mpg and that is slow driving and mixed.
