BMW X6 xDrive40d Fuel Consumption Test

Visit my blog for more: guitigefilmpjes...
Doing a fuel consumption test in a BMW X6 xDrive40d (MY 2013 / E71). Aim of this test is not to give an exact specification of the fuel consumption of this car, but to show an approximation of the fuel consumption under real life circumstances.
As the result also depends on tyres, size of the rims, road condition, weather and equipment that may alter the exact weight of the car, your personal experience may differ from mine.

I had driven 2012( 3 years old )40d xdrive, it was never below 12-12,5L. Im driving slow pace up to 120 and owner of car showed his average was 14+. Only if you drive below 90km/h it would show little below 12. In spritmonitor page 1 user claims 11,4L average with eco driving

[@aleksemilov7562]

Yes mine does 11/12 on high way never below😂

[@filipmocanu7288]

from what i see in your videos X5 3.0d 245hp takes more fuel (not by much...but still) than the X6 4.0d !! I am taking in consideration buying Bmw X5 3.0d / 4.0d (2012) and i was thinking that all the extra HP will come with much biger fuel consumption (one beeing biturbo engine,the other single turbo). From driving both engines can you give me an idee of the difference! Thank you.

Je consomme un peu moins avec mon 40d ma moyenne c'est du 9.8l/100km en 50/50 ville autoroute

say on a full tank how long would it take till the next fuel stop?

[@georgialdev1001]

750-900 kms on a full tank (i.e. depending on speed)

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

@@georgialdev1001 find out whas the fuel tank it has, which is 85L and multiply that with the combined liter per 100 kms which is 10l and you get around 850 kms.

Nice movie! Good job! I've expected lover consumption - but it's really big & heavy car...

[@Mr11ESSE111]

i hate when such a expensive cars like BMW x6 got one colour red screen data on dashboard !! that kind of oldy cheap dashboards was outdate 5 +years ago and now it is only in Opel cars like astra and Meriva ,Mokka...

[@AndrewGOP]

the new x6 like mine have digital clocks👌👍

[@kristijanbobinac2301]

it is not about "no knowledge" how to do it it is about tradition just like Volkswagen,now they are making digital cluster to keep up with competition

[@kana5s627]

i think it’s about characteristic tradition looks and by function it easy to catch up while on high speed drive

[@georgialdev1001]

My us-spec e70 x5d (the m57 engine, tt) burns 22 mpg (us) at 140 km/h highway (+some small city drive before hwy), which is in line with this test. Author showed the consumption for 130 kmh and then 150 and mine is right there, confirming the data point

[@guitigefilmpjes]

Thanks for your confirmation! :)

[@EdgarasSimanavicius]

How do you like the car overall?

[@guitigefilmpjes]

It handles great for such a large car, but the 320d M-sport I currently have handles much sportier and is more fun to drive. But it offers good levels of comfort, just like the X5, but is has less space. That is why I would prefer and X5 over the X6.

[@PerformanceY]

BMW's 3.0i takes the same amount of gas but given much more pleasure to drive. So why would you buy a facking diesel?

[@alibrizi]

ukropadam for the torque my friend

[@toyotavictormiron]

Verry helpful test.👍

[@MrAlpinab7]

at 80 kmh my F02 740 Li does 7.2 - 7.5%

[@MrAlpinab7]

watched up to 200 kmh...if i remember correctly on the autobahn when i drive through Germany to UK i think the 740Li takes me up to 15-16 % maybe, but to be FAIR the x6 is much less aerodynamic so, i guess that''s right. Anyway, cannot say i\d be pleased with the diesel. I live in Bucharest, which is THE most clogged, most crowded city in Europe according to a survey by WAZE, and the F02 does 22% city. But it's just stop and go for kilometers and kilometers. You cannot reach 40kmh between stops.

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

very nice video. i believe this car is quite economical overall, but what about reliability?

[@fe1138lix]

Any chance of getting a 335d xdrive or 435d xdrive?

[@guitigefilmpjes]

Although the 335d xDrive is in the fleet, I currently cannot gain access to it. But maybe in the future! Currently the 435d xDrive is not in the fleet at all, and I cannot estimate if it will in the future. Anyway, if I can get my hands on either of both cars, of course I will make the videos (walkaround, acceleration, fuel consumption, flatout).

[@fe1138lix]

guitigefilmpjes Thanks! I really hope you can get access to either one in the future.

For what you are buying a f..in diesel? Mercedes 500 v8 306 ps: 80 km/h with 7 l, 100 km/h with 7.5l, 120 km / h 8l, 130 km/h 8.5l, 150 km/h 10 l, 160 km / h 10.8 l, 200 km / h 13l And a V8 with 5.0 is another world. You have power, you have fun awd and sound:)

[@Anders_HeymSR30]

Never in a million years will you achieve those figures with the Mercedes V8 petrol!
