Factors Affecting BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase Mileage

• Driving Style: Aggressive acceleration and braking reduce mileage. Maintaining steady speed and avoiding sudden brakes and acceleration improves mileage.

• Speed of Driving: Driving at moderate speeds of 40-50km/h offers the best mileage over driving at higher speeds. Reduced wind resistance improves mileage.

• Air Conditioning Usage: Using AC increases the overall load on the car's engine, which leads to high fuel consumption. So, driving with the AC off or using it judiciously helps improve mileage in the long run.

• Road Conditions: Smooth roads allow steady driving and improve mileage. Bad roads with traffic congestion reduce optimal driving conditions, thereby lowering mileage.

• Maintenance: Regular car maintenance, such as tuning the engine, checking tyre pressure, and changing oils/filters according to schedule, is key to optimal engine performance and mileage.

• Weather Conditions: Driving in extremely hot or cold weather makes the AC and heating systems work harder, reducing mileage. Moderate weather causes less system load.
