Bro it was normal cause my spec was exactly the same as your's.
It's seem to a bit high on the RMP 3k for 110km/h ya compare to other car.
Btw what is your FC for full tank on Ron 95 ?

 

[xcrave]

I think mine is the same... and the RPM is somewere there... havent Redlined it yet... not enough road i think

But my FC on RON95 = RM50 Approx 180-200 (Depending on how i drive)

Bro your's was M54 engine right ? Not same with our's M52 la, your's was more power full i guess. And your's 0-100km was faster then us

 

[xcrave]

Owh yeah ka
No la i dont think so Alex... my Vin says M52

FN04681

You can check all details here> http://www.realoem.com

 

[Alex5522]

Opss sorry i thought your's was M54 engine. Base on your FC RM50 for 180-200km was a bit high side. I use to fill RM100 ron95 and gv me about 550-600km on 50-50 city & highway drive.
But KK not much highway only from Likas to 1 Borneo, so most of your drive was city drive i believe.

Btw notice your's was 2002/2007 how come your VIN was 04681 which was older then mine ? Mine was 00/06 Vin 07842.
I think u get cheated by the seller la bro.

Hmmm... Im using much Ira manis Road Hitting 110-140KM (hope no police here) @ 8:30-9 am

Not much traffic then if yes will be the one moving left right like someone who just got his licence yesterday...

After reading much info i found out after 9/1999 All E46 from Europe has M54... im confused...

320i M52TUB20 1998–2000 1991 I6, 24v 150 PS (110 kW; 148 bhp) 140 ft·lbf (190 N·m) 9.9 s (0-100km/h)
320i/Ci M54B22 2001–2007 2171 I6, 24v 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp) 155 ft·lbf (210 N·m) 8.2 s (0-100km/h)
323i/Ci M52TUB25 1998–2000 2494 I6, 24v 170 PS (125 kW; 168 bhp) 181 ft·lbf (245 N·m) 8.0 s (0-100km/h)

U means Kimanis - Papar Highway ? I used to that road too last few years ago KK-Kimanis-KGU.
Btw our's spec was the almost slower from 0-100km amount the E46, u can refer here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_3_Series_(E46)

 

[xcrave]

Iramanis... Lintas->Inanam Highway now got construction the 3rd lane somewhare infront of the iramanis section...

Then again in KL standard its not a highway its just a 3 lane road

It become a highway when u pay them

Bro Alex,

Did u drive up Kimanis - Keningau highway with yr UDM? I find that highway is one of the best spots for us in Sabah to "test power" our UDMs....


btw,

hassnur,

Im driving an E46 with M54 engine. With speed of 110km/h my rpm will be around 2.5k rpm.....

Bro sorry i'm not using udm at Sabah, i used Ninja all the while for travelling, btw what is the FC for your E46 with M54 engine for RM100 on ron95. Thanks and cheers.

This is one question I find hard to answer since my car is only weekend car and I kinda lost track of the mileage and fuel consumption every time for City driving. Plus, I have only done less than 2000 km on the car since i purchased it last December.

However, I did try driving from KK - Kimanis -Keningau three times so far (which is a distance of around 240-250 km for a round trip), and I spent roughly around RM50 with RON97. Since this is considered 50% -50% city and highway driving, so its around RM50 for around 250km.

 

[Alex5522]

Base on your explanation I think the FC more or less was the same compare with M52 engine. Some more your traveling got so many long uphill btw Kimanis-Kgau.
Maybe u can drive from KK-SDK to test your FC one day.

 

[xcrave]

yeah will try that one day... my car still virgin on mountain drive wakakaka... have all new pulleys waterpump serp. belt (engine so silent now)

Wah we hijack the thread ody... soli2

I recheck my FC its RM50 on RON 95 ->260-380+ KM (Penampang->Inanam) Daily city+highway

 

[Alex5522]

260-300km on rm50 ron95 should be ok, but i doubt u can get 360km on day drive unless it was midnite or early morning 2-4am that they was no car on the road.

 

[xcrave]

typo... meant 280 so means my FC too much cause always blast @ low rev ... always cant wait it below 90km/h

Haha...will try lah one day after they finish construction on the road in between Tongod and Beluran. Anyway, I recently had my car Adaptations Values being reset. It drives even smoother now with good throttle respond. I dont know whether it will help on fuel consumption or not... but will have to take it on another round through Kimanis - Keningau to verify it. Maybe its just me Syok Sendiri, but i feel some slight reduction in my petrol consumption... but then again... like i said..this just mite be one of those syok sendiri case.

I agree with xcrave that we kinda hijacked the forum. Haha. Sorry Hassnur. If u look from another point of view, speed and RPM is somehow related with FC as well, or perhaps we should open another thread on FC.

Cheers all....
