Another Range Data Point - No conjecture / speculation / nor guessing!
Quasi scientific data set regarding F90 range / enconomy for those interested (yes i'm bored tonight):
21.5 MPG (US) / 25.8 MPG (Imperial) / 10.94 L/100km Above calculated with following: 668 km ( 415miles) between fill-ups 73.046 Litres Sunoco 94 Octane (range on dash stated 20 km / 12 miles at time of fuelling) Fill method before and after test: Pump fuel slow (notch) till stops, wait 30 sec, fill slow till stops again Test Mule: 2019 M5 Base odometer now at just over 5000 km 20" stock wheel / pirelli @ 40-41 PSI No aero modifications No sunroof / No cargo / Standard Brakes (non CCB) Driver plus 1-2 passengers throughout Conditions: Aug 19 - Aug 23 Southwestern Ontario Canada (Windsor to London) - very flat here, enviromentals were no rain / minimal wind Temp Range: 20*C - 29*C with relative humidity 61 - 98% Elevation: 190m - 268m Mixed Highway / Suburban / Urban - approx 38km highway @ approx 99km/h (construction zone) - approx 332km highway @ average 120 km/h - balance driving was stop-go all the way up to high xxx km/h - 9 Launch Control runs, plus into the 2xx (xx/x) zone 10+ times - in sport plus 2/3rd the time.... in efficiency for 1/2 of highway time This is a real world example - you can see I was not trying to be economical at all; I still got 415 miles out of a tank with a little to spare. For those saying they can't get 400 miles out of a tank - you must be on the throttle all the time and/or a combination of hills / traffic / elevation / etc. Personally, I'm very happen with the economy of my un-economical car |

I figured the gas price is just a small fraction of the cost of owning such a car, so when I get mine sometime in october, I'll just drive it and not care the slightest about the fuel consumption.

450-500 miles highway 325-425 miles mixed 300 or less in high city/suburban cycle HIGHEST RANGE: 500 miles (800km+) = Chateau reported breaking 800km 3 times (open highway) LOWEST RANGE: 105 miles = stealth70mde reported that at the track so this is our full balls out hooligan data-point! (status of tires unknown lol) |
