Neither are probably right.... calculate it by hand if you want an accurate number.

I wouldn't obsess over either one but I find the dash display to be closer. I use the Fuelly app and it's been accurate for me.

The one that says -9999km to destination looks pretty spot on.

Fill up gas tank all the way and rest trip odometer, push black button left bottom corner of speed gauge till the trip odometer zeros out.

Drive till you have around 100 miles range left then fill up again.

Take total miles on odometer and divide by how many gallons it took to fill up (will say on the pump). That will equal actual miles per gallons.

Example car went 400 miles and took 12 gallons to fill up. 400/12=33.333MPG.

24 mpg average in a 335i? Surely you can't be having any fun at all!

I think that you confuse driving fast with driving well, I've enjoyed driving the little country roads over the past few years.

I was making a little joke in my utter shock as I can't imagine ever touching those numbers. Are you ever in boost?

No worries, I saw the humor and yes I do push it from time to time.
