Does anyone know the MPG difference between 530i and 525i?

Thanks!

It can't be that great a difference, the 04 530 is 215 HP while the 04 525 is 184, so were talking a difference of 39 ponies. I would guess a couple of miles per gallon either way. I don't think you should worry about it. Good luck.

 

Actually, the 2004 530i makes 225hp.

I currently get around 21.5mpg with 50/50 local/hiway.

 

Please put down were you are from cos the US and UK spce on the engines are not the same 04 525i is 184hp for us and 04 525i is 192hp for uk.

I would say they are close to the same number.

 

Lets not be lazy.... oh go on then.. the engine specs can be found here:

As per fuel consumption, my 530 is, at the moment returning a woeful 18mpg, however, so far hasn't met a motorway and I have been putting my foot down now and again!

I did a stint on the motorway from j2 to Worcester on the M5... returned a whopping 38mpg at 75mph.

This forum has references to fueld consumption. Was going to get a 530d, but as I dont do the milage, no point.... plus the sound of a 6 sylinder petrol at 6000 rpm is ace!!

 

+1 it shouldnt be much of a difference. if you were comparing the I6 of one of them to one of the v8s, most probably a more noticeable difference. and also, welcome and enjoy the forums.
