Collected my 520i 3 weeks ago after delaying for so long. Just filled up my 3rd full tank after 690km of journey with on board screen showing additional 99km more to go. However, while I fill up my 3rd tank, the screen shows 939km available while I remember 2nd tank showed 787km. Why is it so much differences? The first tank is quarter tank plus come during delivery. Also I would like to ask, what is the logo below the fuel comsumption. It supposed to be the average km per hour but after almost 1000km of journey, it increased from 19km to the current reading of 31.3km per hour. Same goes to the fuel consumption reading. It went from 18litre to the current 11.1 litre. Is this normal, especially the average speed reading?

For mixed urban driving, ave speed of 30kph is not abnormal. Mine is abt 40kph. As your ave speed goes up under normal driving conditions, your fuel consumption generally improves.
Its quite normal for your average speed or consumption to be volatile initially until u clock enough distance for your average to settle.
Based on the tank size of 70L and claimed fuel consumption on 6.4L/100km, a full tank theoretcally can take you about 1,000km. But at 11L/100km, you shld be getting between 600-700km.

My sister who has an incredibly light right foot and drives mainly on highways is getting 4.8L/100km vs claimed FC of 320d of 4.5L/100km. So its not impossible to get close to the claimed FC figure.. Also note that claimed FC is based on euro spec fuel, ie RON98, which gives slightly better performance.

My dad is very happy with the F10 520i's consumption. He said it's more than 20% better than his old 6 pot E240
TrincyLim,
Your car onboard computer should prompt you for servicing the car. Either by mileage or by time (due before reached you recommended mileage), look up for the screen prior to start you car or right after you started your car. Unless yours is the ///M, which require a 'run in' service or check. My 1st service 'reminder' appeared @ +/-6500 km.

Agreed. .. else u will be suprised to see ur engine oil turn to dodol. ...
I guess the interval for service will take consideration on both mileage and duration, it should be 10k (20k is slightly longer than I expected) or 6 months whichever come first. As I notice earlier, my car show me the mileage on next service and now it shows the date is due for service. You may call BMW care line to verify.

Trincy, i wont tell you exactly when to service your car in the open for I dont have the time to be cross-examined by so called experts here as if I am a 25 yr old who just bought his first BMW. I replaced my air filter element after 7.5k and for that i was made to explain myself why i wasted money. I mean, wtf?? PM me for my honest opinion, it will be my pleasure.
