535 Gas Mileage Sticker

ghueser · 09-13-2010, 04:31 PM

In the past few months, I had noticed that the reported Gas Mileage (Window Sticker) on the Automatic equipped 535i's indicated 20 City, 29 Highway.

Walking a lot on Sunday however I noticed that the sticker now indicates 20 City, 30 Highway. It was a 535i Automatic like the others.

Anybody else seen this new sticker? By no means am I complaining, just sort of curious to what the background is to the change. Additional testing maybe?

When I bought my 550 I never even looked at the mpg, does anyone know what it is?

You will rather not know

haha I believe you right, I think it was pretty good but the needle will move real time when I get on it. The range has adjusted over time thought when I first picked it up it was much lower then a full tank reflects now.

Mine gets more then 30 on the highway.

hmm ... mine doesnt feel like 30mpg at all, but then again it is probably the speed, I am certain your no where near as fast as me.

I have a 535i. With over 3k miles so far, I have gotten between 33 and 34 MPG on highway. This is a calculated mileage, miles traveled/gal to fill over several measurements. The computer calculates the same increments about 1 to 1.5 MPG higher. Very satisfied.

Has anyone seen the estimated MPG for the 535 Xdrive?

Bump. Any updates on the window sticker MPG for the 535 xDrive?

Fueleconomy.gov lists the 535i automatic at 30mpg highway which would be the current official EPA rating.I do recall having seen something a month or two ago (a sticker,IIRC) which listed such a vehicle at 29mpg.

I'm right there with you. . . . I test drove a 550i dealer demo that didn't have a window sticker, ordered mine without ever knowing what the numbers were. I did hope/expect they were going to be better than my 08 X5 4.8
