Fuel Consumption X6M

josthi · 04-30-2018, 05:17 PM

Hi All,

What will be the average combined fuel consumption mpg while driving in eco pro mode?

Cheers,
Simon J

You would likely get somewhere around 14mpg very lucky 15mpg. On average I do around high 11mpg. 272 miles on a full tank.

Why would anyone drive an M car in eco pro mode?

josthi · 04-30-2018, 06:02 PM

Hi,

Just curious to know the consumption on eco pro and sports mode? Planning to buy X6 M50d or X6M orX3M40i. If I get around 20mpg in mixed mode. I'd go for X6M.

Exactly! On a long cruise, I'll average 15-16. Daily driving I average 12-13.

Go for the X6 M50d. Sounds like you’ll cry with an X6M if fuel economy is important to you. The X6M gets worse gas mileage than even any V12 engine I have hooned. 2nd worst I’ve gotten is 5.5 MPG with Rolls Royce 620hp V12. #1 worst is the X6M where I managed 3.3 MPG on my favorite mountain road. I’m going to flash tune for more power and see if I can break into the 2s. Weeeeeeeeeee! I’m not complaining at all. 100% worth it as far as I’m concerned.

Well first of all the X5M/X6M don't have a Eco Pro Mode. The closest you'll get is Comfort Mode and turning on the Start/Stop mode.

That being said, if fuel consumption is important to you, I'd steer away from the X6M. I use mine as a daily driver in the city and on average get around 10-11 mpg. On longer road trips you'll probably get around 15mpg.

Local I get about 10-12mpg average and I only drive my X5M in Sport+ mode.

Recently went on a 900 mile road trip with the family and I averaged about 17mpg. Highest I was able to see on the trip meter was 19.4mpg while driving conservatively.

I was getting 10.5L/100kM on the highway last week. I could get about 9.5L/100kM from my M5 so I'm fairly impressed. I just got this beast last weekend and it thrills me every time I drive it...totally impressed and I'm not even broken in yet so haven't exercised it yet.

MLoch · 05-08-2018, 04:16 AM

Reading, If its the reading in the UK and you convert US mpg to UK mpg

on average you would see 14-17 mpg if i'm not mistaken. But again all depends on your driving habits.

Still under your 20mpg goal, but as others have mentioned ( and my dealer as well) do not buy the car if fuel is a concern.

JohnG123 · 05-08-2018, 05:10 AM

I am in the UK, with mixed local and highway driving I am getting 19.4 MPG

Bluesummer · 05-08-2018, 11:28 AM

It's on par with my E9x M3s I've had. I avg. about 14-15mpg mix 60/40 split between freeway and local.

musa · 05-09-2018, 05:47 PM

The very first thing I did when I got my X6M was to turn off Start/Stop mode - I hate it. The next thing was to always drive in Sport+ mode. Otherwise buying the X6M would have been absolutely pointless and I would have gone for a 35i X6 instead.

I do exactly the same. Almost never use start/stop and comfort mode = closed exhaust

atxgt3 · 05-12-2018, 11:39 AM

Comfort mode only exists on these cars to satisfy emissions requirements, it's pointless and shouldn't be used. The first thing I do is put it in Sport+ mode, otherwise why on earth would you get a car like this. Even on road trips I keep it in S+.

For everyday driving I usually get 12-13MPG or so (US). Even my huge Raptor gets 15mpg. This is definitely not a car you buy if you care about gas mileage, lol.

Mahmood07 · 05-13-2018, 03:12 AM

I average 17.7 MPG mixed of highway and city driving.

I do not baby the car, but I am also not on sport+ and driving crazy all the time.

The point of this car for me was to be able to have a comfortable, spacious 4x4 that can be a monster whenever I want it to be. So comfort mode is a must for me.

Otherwise I would have bought a real sports car.

pachieh · 05-13-2018, 11:53 AM

I literally have no idea why there is such variance on mpg for these cars... I get a solid 13 mixed, 17 highway and that's without being a speed demon... grrrr
