Premium unleaded fuel required. EPA 16 city/23 hwy mpg on RWD Competition
Condition Based Service system sets oil intervals typically 10,000-15,000 miles or 12 months
Break-in service around 1,200 miles/2,000 km
Brake fluid service every 24-36 months
Standard Active Driving Assistant with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and lane keeping
Complimentary scheduled maintenance for 3 years/36,000 miles in applicable markets
The twin-turbo inline-six runs on premium fuel only. Official figures list 16 city and 23 highway mpg for the rear-drive Competition Sedan, with combined around 19 mpg. Real-world use and all-wheel-drive variants drop those numbers, especially under hard acceleration.
Servicing follows BMW’s Condition Based Service. The system monitors oil life and other items based on driving style and conditions rather than fixed mileage alone. Expect an oil and filter change when prompted, typically within 10,000-15,000 miles or one year, plus a mandatory early break-in check near 1,200 miles. Brake fluid is due every two to three years. Many markets include free scheduled maintenance for the first three years or 36,000 miles.
Safety kit is comprehensive as standard. Active Driving Assistant brings forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assist. Full airbags cover front, side, curtain and knee positions. Park Distance Control and a rear camera are included. The model itself carries no standalone NHTSA or IIHS rating, though the related 3 Series platform scores highly in Euro NCAP and NHTSA tests.
Living with the car means watching tire wear on the staggered high-performance rubber and budgeting for M-specific fluids if tracked. Adaptive dampers help daily comfort, yet the firm setup and wide tires transmit more road feel than a regular 3 Series. Keep up with CBS prompts and the early break-in service to protect the high-output S58 engine.
