As mileage increases the engine will loosen up hence economy will be better.

5,000km on the clock. Averaging 13.7L/100km. Pretty much all city driving. She's thirstier than I'd like.

Manual 125d averaging 51.5mpg on brim test (car computer is showing 53.5mpg). That's over 10k miles of 50/50 town/motorway.
I make no attempt at driving economically, use comfort mode around town, sport mode on the motorway as i prefer the heavier steering. The only time i go near Eco pro is when stuck in traffic and only then because the dulled down accelerator makes clutch control easier.

Surprised in a good or bad way?
That figure reflects journeys where I drive on open roads at 90-110km/h to reach a challenging twisty section of 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear corners. I suspect I'd be getting 15-17l/100km in those bits, and nearer 7l/100km cruising gently.

For a car that can to sub-5 0-60's, rev to 7000rpm, weighs over 1500kg and has the Cd of a portaloo, the economy is absolutely astounding.

M135i - 17,500 miles overall average 33.3mpg
At a steady 70mph I can easily achieve 42mpg on a trip 70% of my trips are motorway cruising, the rest are urban / country with a good deal of enjoyment - foot down! In comparison my Golf GTI returned 28mpg average over 82,000 miles, with the same driving style |

Yes, the M135 is quite a performer in both performance and economy. I also do a lot of motorway trips, hence the 8.0l/100k average over 8,000k. In contrast, my previous car, an Audi 8P S3, averaged over 9.3l/100k over the same driving regime.
Oh, and for the record, my average speed over 8,000 k is 69kph |
