Anyway the point is they're shite on diesel. If you want a economical 5 series get a 520.
Heres mine.
Driven a couple of times few airport runs, then to TOTB another 2 hour drive, so does the MPG change if your only using it for a day at a time compared to everyday?
here a few comments for you from 535d owners you pleb
"Before this the car would hunt between 50 mpg and 16 mpg on the gauge at 70 mph on the motorway. Now the motor is happier and never drops under 30 mpg. Now best I have got is 48 mpg at a steady 70 and high 30's easily achieveable. It takes a very heavy foot to take it down into the 20's. "
"
if its any use my current economy is showing 43.4mpg and thats with mine running rubbish at the moment, at a steady speed at around 1500rpm my revs are bouncing up and down by around 200rpm and you feel the power surge on and off, before this i used to regularly see 45mpg at a steady 70mph
"
"i'll try get one showing 800+ in next few weeks, mines going into pmw next tuesday to sort out all my issues, hoping my mpg will improve afterwards having previously seen 45-46mpg, wouldn't know where to start on giving advice lol"
"
Most impressively, overall we’ve managed to beat BMW’s official claimed combined figure of 40.9mpg. Our 41.7mpg return isn’t bad given that our offices are based in central London, I travel home in the middle of rush hour and my weekends are filled with short trips"
need i go on?
