hi.
as topic says. Do they use more diesel the first 10.000 km, then settles in with Bmw's numbers?
A friend of mine told me yes, but its hard to believe.
what do you say?
thanx

I'm pretty sure it's true. With my Merc I had the same and With my new 525D 2008 LCI the fuel consumption has already gone down about 0.1 liters/100km after 6.000km. This due to the better fitting of the cylinder rings and the engine frees up a little. However, this change will never be liters but only a marginal amount.

well, 0.1 is pretty much if you consider how much fuel you use in a lifetime 
according to bmw mine should use 0.56 on highway driving. I've managed 0.68 so far.

My Ride: E60
MY 520D 2008 LCI gets around 9.5-10 l/100km so far. I'm at 1800km I'm still a ways off from fully breaking it in. Is this normal for urban driving or ? Curious as to what mileage other people have got. (And why do we still call it 'mileage' when it's obviously in metric? hahahah)

Yepp, both my non LCI and LCI 530d have been thirstier the first 5.000km. My driving cycle gives me around 8l/100km when broken in, and 9,5l/100km before.

9.5 seems not right for an 520d ....
