AudiPartner Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 What's the most economic X6? I think it may be the Xdrive 30D is that right? Claiming a combined 38 mpg? Sounds pretty good to me... But is this realistic? What are people getting in the real world? Driving round town like, and also what can you get on the motorway, if you really try? While we're on the topic, could someone just run through what the models all mean please? 30D, 35D etc etc. There's a 3.0D Xdrive, then a Xdrive 30D too - what does that all mean? What is the difference?? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiPartner Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'll make you a deal, I'll step away for say 2 months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuits Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 X6 is great... I'd have another without question! I had the 30d and driven like a hooligan I averaged c32mpg, but it was mapped to 300bhp! Stock you'll get 30mpg round town and on a motorway 38mpg, if you're sat at 55mph, over 40mpg! Engines are: 3.5i - Twin turbo petrol 30d (3.0d) - Single turbo diesel 35d (3.0sd) - Twin turbo diesel 4.8I - V8 petrol New model (Sept 10) 30d - Single turbo diesel 40d - Twin turbo diesel 50d - Twin turbo petrol V8 BMW combined figures have always been pretty accurate for me. With the 20" Alloys they handle too, just make sure there's plenty of tread on the tyres and disks look good... very expensive to change. Compared to the Q7, it's a racing car!!!

I got 28/30MPG normal driving (35D Sport) with the Remapped engine I got the same but with better power.Hard driving soon drops this, Never got high MPG as I got bored @65MPH.

cruiser647 Posted April 27, 2011 Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 Have you still got the Q7? And the same reasons you are thinking of changing will apply to this X6 won't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiPartner Posted April 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2011 No, I sold the Q7. I wasn't getting enough out of it to justify the running costs. 6 months tax cost me £240 and I struggled to get more than 28mpg on a run. And it was just another black Q7. I downgraded, and now I already want to upgrade again. My A3 Sportback is great, returns 40-50 mpg, but I feel like I'm in my little brothers car. The X6 is a car I will enjoy owning and being in. I realise in terms of running costs it may only save me say £600 a year, but psychologically I will feel much happier getting 38mpg than 28mpg! Lol.

Ours is 27/28 round town and 34/35 on the motorway. That's without driving like a tart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizze Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Fiona has a got an X1 and she gets 42mpg going between our shops, when I take it I get nearly 60mpg. No offense to women, but they can't drive! I hate being a passenger with women, the constant braking and then jamming the throttle down again is just so annoying.
