BMW 525 in detail about fuel consumption
When buying a car, more and more owners pay attention to how much its maintenance will cost in the future. This is not strange, considering the current state of the economy in our country. The only exceptions are business class models.
The real fuel consumption of the BMW 525 series is relatively low. Owners of this brand, as a rule, rarely do not worry when buying, how much it will cost to maintain it, because these are expensive premium models.
| Engine | Consumption (mixed cycle) |
| 525i (E39), (petrol) | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
525Xi, (petrol) | Xnumx l / xnumx km |
525i touring (E39), (petrol) | Xnumx l / xnumx km |

The first car from the famous BMW manufacturer rolled off the assembly line in 1923. For all the time, several modifications of this series have been released. In each new model, manufacturers improved not only the quality characteristics car, and also tried to reduce fuel consumption.
Today the following types of 525 models are in demand:
- BMW series E 34;
- BMW series E 39;
- BMW series E 60.
Almost all modifications of this brand are made in the following variations:
- sedan;
- station wagon;
- hatchback.
In addition, the future owner can choose a car with either a diesel power unit or a gasoline one.
According to reviews of many drivers the fuel consumption rate for a BMW 525 in the city (gasoline), depending on the modification, ranges from 12.5 to 14.0 liters per 100 km... These figures differ slightly from the official information. This is due to the fact that the manufacturer indicates the fuel consumption in the standard operating mode of the unit, not taking into account the driving style, fuel quality, the state of the car, etc.
As for diesel installations, the cost indicators will be an order of magnitude lower: when working in a combined cycle, the consumption does not exceed 10.0 liters of fuel.
BMW 525 series E 34
The production of this modification began back in 1988. For all the time, about 1.5 million cars of this series were produced. Production ended in 1996.
The car was produced in two variations: sedan and station wagon. In addition, the future owner could choose for himself what power unit he needs:
- engine displacement - 2.0, and its power is equal to 129 hp;
- engine displacement - 2.5, and its power is 170 hp;
- engine displacement - 3.0, and its power is 188 hp;
- engine displacement is 3.4, and its power is 211 hp.
Depending on the modification, the car could accelerate to 100 km in 8-10 seconds. The maximum speed that the car could pick up is exactly 230 km / h. The average fuel consumption for the BMW 525 e34 series is as follows:
- for diesel installations - 6.1 liters of fuel per 100 km;
- for gasoline - 6.8 liters of fuel per 100 km.
The real fuel consumption of a BMW 525 on the highway will be much lower than when driving in an urban cycle.
BMW 525 series E 39
The presentation of this modification took place in Frankfurt. Like the previous model "39" was equipped with engines with a displacement:
- 0 (petrol / diesel);
- 2 (gasoline);
- 8 (gasoline);
- 9 (diesel);
- 5 (gasoline);
- 4 (gasoline).
In addition, the future owner of the BMW 525 model can also choose the type of transmission for the car - AT or MT. Thanks to this configuration, the car can accelerate to 100 km / h in 9-10 seconds.
Gasoline consumption of the BMW 525 e39 on the highway is about 7.2 liters, in the city - 13.0 liters. When working in a combined cycle, the machine uses no more than 9.4 liters.
BMW 525 series E 60
The new generation of the sedan was produced between 2003 and 2010. Like previous versions of BMW, the 60th was equipped with a manual or automatic PP gearbox. Besides, the car was equipped with two types of engines:
- diesel (2.0, 2.5, 3.0);
- gasoline (2.2, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 4.4, 4.8).
The car can easily accelerate to a hundred in 7.8-8.0 s. The maximum speed of the car is 245 km / h. The average fuel consumption for a BMW 525 e60 per 100 km is 11.2 liters. in the urban cycle. Fuel consumption on the highway is 7.5 liters.
What affects fuel consumption
Fuel consumption is affected by the way you drive, the more you step on the gas pedal, the more the car uses fuel. In addition, the technical condition of the car can increase the cost of gasoline / diesel several times. Fuel consumption can also be affected by the tire diameter you have installed.
If you want to somehow reduce fuel consumption, then try to change all consumables in time and go through scheduled service stations. The car owner should also avoid high-speed driving.
