Your Car After Doing Recall Fixes

tony20009 · 03-25-2011, 12:54 PM

Several weeks ago, I took my car in and had them apply whatever changes are called for under the recalls BMW issued. I've noticed that since then, my highway mileage has dropped a bit to more like 28 mpg. I was getting 29 - 30.1 mpg.

Has anyone else had the same experience ?

Yes, I have had the same experience. It may be the recall or I was also thinkin the switch to my winter set?

I've definitely noticed it. I almost always drive full throttle when I get a chance after the oil is up to temp. I usually commute to the same place too so that eliminates many variables

I didn't have a recall, my 330i engine coil went out and after replacement, my regular 28mpg dropped to 24mpg.....never able to get over 25mpg no matter how i drive...I don't know why...maybe they did some programming after they replace coil..
