What a fantastic touring car this is. A very progressive acceleration from a 272 bhp 3 litre 6 cyl. NA engine in the 2 doors coupe model (258 bhp in the saloon / sedan 4 doors edition). Motor comes in either a rather reliable early N52 block with indirect injection and no high pressure fuel pump (HPFP) or late N53 direct injection with tons of well documented HPFP issues. I can squeeze 7.8 L/100km at 120km/h on motorway and 6,5 L at 90 km/h. Extremely spacious inside for 4 adults (equivalent to earlier 5 series). Good 440L trunk. Great engine noise above 4500 rpm. Picked mine dirt cheap (29% of new RRP, a whopping 71% off) 6 yrs old with 100.000 km (62K miles) on the clock. No problems to report in 4.5 yrs. Best bargain ever.
His shifting perfect in terms of timing, not losing power at all. Good job bro. Im losing power bcs im shifting to late at 6900-7100rpm. You are going max to 6800rpm every time when you are shifting and u gain max power and speed. Perfect timing. Respect brother and enjoy.
I have the same car with automatic transmission and the fuel gauge goes down or rise depending of the kind of driving you are going on the moment. If you go hard, the fuel gauge will go down fast and If you go soft, the fuel gauge will rise again. Don't worry about that!
@@jacobwaterson3575it is exactly like he said and occurs in most if not all older cars, although this phenomenon is related more to basic physics rather than electronics, good luck with your study 😂
When looking trough the tests and reviews, it sure doesn't have too high consumption. Until driving in a city, because you have to stop alot to accelerate again, which consumes the most. I mean next to the heavy pedal foot it's the highest consumer :D
@@Markcain268 don’t be ridiculous, have some ambition. Perhaps you’ve never owned a property fast car or you’re a bit of a ‘plodder’ haha only joking, if that’s enough to keep you happy that’s fine, personally im used to fast sports cars and use them up to the speed limit on the road and far further on track days.

@@Markcain268 that’s a real shame! I used to live in a built up area but have since moved to a village in the Lake District and it’s motoring nirvana, amazing views, amazing roads, hardly any cameras anywhere.

I can see why people do fall out of love with cars but for me it’s my passion, I love the driving experience of a fast car, and want to enjoy it before I’m forced into an electric car, which interest me around the same as a microwave, absolutely no driving pleasure in them whatsoever and building new cars is not environmentally friendly, a lot of folk are being conned by this, we should convert what is already on the road!
Of course when you floor it like that, but you can also drive this car with 8-9 liters.... but with moderat pacing you could say it takes about 10-11 liter per 100km.
The flywheel on this car must weigh a ton because this car seems to he labouring to redline . Id definitely upgrade that first to get it to feel a bit more punchy off the line.
Hi pal! I was wondering if i can use this video in my e90 acceleration and sound comparison video.I will tag you in the credits with your name and link.Hoping for your consideration😊
Oil Temp is not water temp. When the oil moves above 70 degrees celsius it means that the water is at a steady 90 degrees. Oil Temp will not go above 90 degrees with highway normal driving.
The fuel consumption for me is 4.8-5.8 kmpl but i do city drive mostly and the traffic is bad in india. A full tank has given me around 320 kms! I'd say thats quite good for such a brilliant engine!

Dont really look much quicker than e90 2.5 325i when its pushed to limits...i notice the difference after about 210kph its still putting power down strong. Where 2.5 starts to get slower.
It doesn't look a lot quicker because we have different gauges, this one goes up to 280kph where the 325i goes up to 260kph so your pointer will go up just as fast, but the speed doesn't. The e92 330i N53 takes 6.0sec to 100kph where the 325i n52 takes 7.7sec to 100kph, which is still really fast when you keep in mind the car weighs more than 1500kg with a driver and fuel.

Yeah the gear ratio might be similar but how fast does it gets to that speed though, and he had the traction control on still so it probably killed a bit of power on second gear
It all depends how fast can your Ford reach third gear compare to a BMW. The gear ratio may be the same, but the1.6 Ford has less power than a 3.0 BMW therefore when BMW will be in third gear you will still be in second gear maibe.
You must be trolling, right? How the hell do gear ratios tell you the time the vehicle takes to 0-150 km/h? You think your ford with almost 200hp less than this bmw could be as fast?

It always happens when the tank is low and you are driving fast, fuel gets pushed to the back so where it's being measured there is less fuel.
