Z3das69

Hi guys just a up date on my z3. I filled it right up with fuel to see how it went. Its been fine and doing the mileage that it should. Relized that when I picked the car up originally it was parked on a steep driveway and I think it just took a while for the gauge to move . So thinking I brought it with half a tank of fuel it was obviously nearly on the red 😆.  Thanks for your replies anyway.

Welcome to the Forum

The 2.2 engine always had a reputation for good fuel economy somewhere in the high 20's around town so I suspect you have an issue (or 2)

I would start with the obvious such as, Tyres are the inflated correctly, Brakes nothing binding ? When was the car last serviced?

Thanks dave tyres are all OK no brakes binding. I am booking it in today for service . Il see how it goes. Il let you know . Thankyou 

Hi guys today I picked up my z3 2.2 2001. Driving home 19 miles an a normal 40mph rd the fuel gauge went down over quarter of a tank also I wasn't that impressed with the power. Its my 1st z3 . I had a D 1986 318i years ago and was a lot quicker and fuel wasn't bad. Do you think there's something wrong??.
