What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the 2006 BMW 5-Series

2006 BMW 5-Series Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Much higher than expected. see full BMW 5-Series review
2007 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 21 mpg mixed city and highway, very good for car this size see full BMW 5-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Fuel economy averaged 18.9 mpg in my day-to-day non-highway driving. That's a fair number for a solid AWD sedan of its proportions and weight. I once achieved 31.6 mpg on a 75 miles highway run, albeit owing to some judicious hyper-miling driving techniques. 'Normal' highway driving at 80 mph returned 25.6 mpg. Modern SUVs can achieve that today so I don't count fuel economy among the E60's selling points. I'd give it a 6 at best. see full BMW 5-Series review
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I am seeing 22mpg in the city, not bad for 255hp see full BMW 5-Series review

2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 At this moment the computer shows 27.6 mpg for combo city/freeway/around town driving. True, it uses premium but that is excellent for a car this size and performance.[mpg is without using A/C] see full BMW 5-Series review
