Now achieving 99.9 MPG on my '12 E93

VMcV3y · 04-12-2013, 08:08 AM

Just had oil/diff service done.

Then noticed when flipping through the displays to see the outside temperature that my E93 is achieving an unprecedented 99.9 MPG.

Must be the Mod to a Flux Capacitor...

Seems legit!

MKE_M3 · 04-12-2013, 08:14 AM

I would just plan to drive 1500 miles between fill-ups. The gas gauge is probably not correct, the MPGs are.

Haha nice makes me jealous of the 21.3 mine's currently displaying.

That's a great idea!

(now, just need a bit of black electrical tape to cover up the fuel gauge. and cancel my BMW Assist plan.)

I had an extra DCT installed, so now it's a 14-speed automatic.

Runs at about five rpm's while at 60 mph with this option.

Sure. It's a three-step process:

1: Design

2: Installation

3: Road testing (There's an E93 underneath that Delorean for supplemental power)

do you get the downshift lag when you go from 12th to 10th gear? Likely a TSB out there....

Yes, of course.

But it only takes about 8,000 linear feet of travel before the gears re-sync. Hardly noticeable at all.

No one is getting 21 mpg in an E9X M3 unless they sealed their car and filled it with hydrogen and then drove only downhill with a tailwind.

The algorithm for the on board computer can only calculate up to a certain amount of time and mileage, which is unknown. Then it defaults to 99.9 as a result. Just reset your consumption and it'll be fine.
