Fuel consumption can increase by several percent in cold weather. This is because the owner takes longer to warm up the car in winter.

Depending on the displacement of the engine, and a number of certain characteristics, the fuel consumption of BMW 7 per 100 km in different modifications will be slightly different when working in a mixed cycle:

  • 3-liter engine, produced in 2008, consumes about 7 liters of fuel;
  • The 3-liter engine, which has been installed on cars since 1986, uses about 9.0-10.0 liters of fuel.
