The BMW 320d fuel consumption varies significantly depending on model year, driving conditions, and driving style.

For the 2019 BMW 320d xDrive Sedan (2.0L diesel, 190 HP), observed fuel economy figures are:

  • City: 6.2 l/100 km (37.9 mpg US)
  • 90 km/h (56 mph): 4.3 l/100 km (54.7 mpg US)
  • 120 km/h (75 mph): 5.4 l/100 km (43.6 mpg US)
  • 140 km/h (87 mph): 6.9 l/100 km (34.1 mpg US)
  • Very dynamic driving: ~12 l/100 km (~19.5 mpg US)

These figures reflect real-world testing under various conditions[1].

Other road test reviews of the BMW 320d Touring (F31) report:

  • Autobahn (average 118.4 km/h): 7.5 l/100 km (31.3 mpg)
  • City: 6.8 l/100 km (34.5 mpg)
  • Suburban: 4.8 l/100 km (49 mpg)
  • One week average (71.9 km/h): 6.0 l/100 km (39.2 mpg)

This suggests a typical real-world average of 6.0–6.3 l/100 km (37–39 mpg)[2].

User-reported data on Fuelly shows annual fleet averages for the BMW 320d typically ranging from 36–40 mpg (US) (roughly 6.4–5.9 l/100 km) for models from 2013 onward, with notable variation depending on use and specification[3]. For specific efficient diesel variants such as the 320d ED Plus, official combined cycle figures can be as high as 68.9 mpg UK (57.4 mpg US, 4.1 l/100 km), and hypermilers have reported individual journeys exceeding 70 mpg UK (58 mpg US, 4.0 l/100 km), though these are exceptional cases and likely optimistic versus real-world averages[4].

Real-world user forums support the above, indicating:

  • Mixed driving averages typically in the high 30s to low 40s mpg (US)
  • Long, steady motorway runs can reach the high 40s to low 50s mpg (US)
  • City driving generally produces lower figures, often in the mid to high 30s mpg (US)[5][7]
