E36 M3 Evo fuel consumption.
I still go to the local BMW Car Club meet - despite the fact I sold my M3 almost 18 months ago. Its a good chance to have a few beers and a chin wag. Anyway, a chap their runs a E36 m3 Evo Coupe. I think he struggles with his math's, as he swears that his average consumption of fuel is 30 miles per gallon. On a run down south, he can achieve 40mpg :cuckoo: :cuckoo:
I have never owned an E36 – but a chap at work used to have 328i Sport what did 23-29 mpg, so is the M power more economical ????????:wonder: :wonder: |
I had a e36 M3 evo coupe about 5 years ago and depending on how it was driven 30mpg was easily achievable if my memory serves me right

I averaged about 33 mpg over a week in an non-evo E36 once and certainly wasn't driving slowly or economically everywhere, i'd imagine the evo to be roughly the same, perhaps a bit less.

Looks like i stand corrected then.

My non evo M3 managed approx 33 mpg doin 300 miles a week,some motorway,some local and A roads..
Pretty amazing really considering CC's/power,TB's etc etc.. |
Yes my mate has a 97 Evo and the trip comp regularly show 30+ mpg. I even reset it cause i didn't believe him and it still showed over 30mpg after a few tankfulls. His Evo is remapped too putting out 350bhp (proved on dastek's rolling road) and about 270lbs/ft. Lovely car and was the car of my dreams till i drove it. Something is not quite right driving such a linear power delivery after driving a high boost turbo for so long. Not disputing that it isn't a fast car though.

The Evo has a 'long' 6th gear as well IIRC meaning a relaxed motorway run should see good economy.

clarkson ran the 400bhp version on top gear and he quoted 4mpg if you were giving the full nuts

On motorway driving I'd often get 400 miles from a tank in my M3 Evo.
I believe that's around 33mpg. |
Trip computers and actually measuring consumption can be totally different. Only a brim to brim check can give you any where near the real figure.
