    I don’t know about you guys but the real world range on the e35 isn’t good nor bad, I do think the e40 would’ve been nicer with probably 30-40 more miles which does make a difference. If you want to push the car and enjoy it on sport at 80% my range dropped down to 150 miles. Having a combination of eco and sport mode it’ll be more like 200 miles at 100%, and 170 miles at 80%. I’ve tried but I can’t even average 3mi/kwh even with AC off then again I have only had the car a week or so. Does this change and how do I get a better mi/kwh without needing to drive 20mph all the time.

    My average is running at 3.5 miles/kWh but I saw 4.4 on a cross country journey on good A roads on a 120 mile round trip.

    Range will get better as the temperature rises but 200 miles sounds about right for winter.

    My tip: Set your display to show trip data on the screen in front of you (steering wheel button, content, scroll through the options and select)

    This gives you an instantaneous “consumption” figure as well as this trip since factory, since last charge etc.

    See how quickly the instantaneous consumption drops as you gently feather the throttle without losing speed. You’ll be amazed how you can get the reading way above your average figure. I’m an advanced driver so I’ve been doing this with ICE cars for a long time.

    Alternatively, don’t worry about it and just have fun and recharge ?
