- Join us on AzizDrives for an extraordinary journey as we put the legendary BMW M6 V10 to the ultimate fuel economy test. Known for its voracious appetite for fuel, we embark on a mission to defy expectations and achieve the unthinkable: maintaining fuel consumption under 10L/100km. This challenge is not just about proving a point; it’s a battle against the odds, showcasing that with the right techniques, even the most powerful beasts can be tamed for efficiency.
The Ultimate Test: Our adventure begins with a detailed look at the BMW M6 V10’s heart - the S85 engine, a masterpiece of engineering. Despite its reputation for high fuel consumption, we’re determined to unlock its potential for efficiency. Our test spans approximately 100 kilometers, incorporating real-world driving conditions to ensure authenticity and relatability.
Strategies for Success: From meticulously filling up the tank with the optimal fuel to adjusting tire pressures for reduced rolling resistance, every detail is considered. Our driving strategy focuses on manual shifting at low RPMs, maintaining a steady speed, and leveraging slipstreaming when possible, all while keeping the creature comforts like climate control active for a genuine driving experience.
Real-Life Challenges: The journey is filled with the realities of everyday driving, from traffic jams that test our patience (and fuel efficiency) to the strategic navigation of speed limits. This test is more than just numbers; it’s about demonstrating that mindful driving can significantly impact fuel consumption, even in a high-performance vehicle like the BMW M6 V10.
Unexpected Results: As we conclude our test, the anticipation builds. Will our efforts pay off? Can a car known for its power and performance also excel in fuel efficiency under the right conditions? The final moments at the petrol station reveal a surprising outcome, challenging preconceived notions about fuel economy in performance cars.
A Lesson Learned: This experiment goes beyond just a fuel economy test; it’s a testament to the idea that the driver plays a crucial role in a car’s efficiency. It’s a blend of skill, patience, and technique that can make even a V10-powered sports car more economical than expected.

I got a 335d, 363 hp and 721 nm, ppl don't believe when I tell em that it only eats 5.5-6 l/ 100 km, I once drove from Romania to Italy and at the gas station I calculated 5.3 l / 100 km, 130-140 km/h all the way to Italy. If you baby even big engines they won't eat up fuel that fast.
What generation is it?

Mersi de comentariu sunt interesat de un 435d 👌 acum știu cât consumă.
@@alexandeermaxym foarte putin iti zic sincer.
just check out old mercedes they use lots of fuel even with old 4 cylinder kompressor engines.
I have the same car, and I achieved around 9.5 L/100km on the motorway, but simultaneously, I got 39.5 L/100km in the city. 😅
Did you just say 39.5 l? Dafuq
@@Levente20, Yeah, I just said 39.5 L/100km. But this type of car is a smiles-per-gallon car, not an economical one. Honestly, it just happened once to have that high consumption because it was winter and very cold outside, but the city consumption is between 16-18 L/100km which is not bad for a V10 and 500Hp+ car.
Imagine if it was a manual, it would be perfect and consumption would probably be lower.@@danutaioan
@@Titansilber.540i not really, take into consideration that SMG has 7 gears and the lower Final Drive than 6 speed manual. So in this exact scenario, like driving 110-120 without changing gears it's actually better consumption-wise, but less pleasure for sure with this jerky robotized manual.
Indeed yeah, you are correct. But also yes, the SMG is just simply not fun to drive lol @@JeremiBulakowski

most underrated carguy youtuber
recently did 620km with my 4.2 liter V8 audi s5 on 60 liters of petrol. mostly driving 110km/h on cruise control
I gave a like because of riders of the storm . Brilliant man
Thanks man
My 2007 E420 CDI does 6.5l/100km at 120/130kmh, will be getting a dpf delete and tune which will reduce it even more. Big engines for the win!
Youll get more power but consumption will stay same.
@@nikolakarovic5964 not really, DPF/EGR delete does wonders with consumption figures on diesels.
@@MrToastyman900 egr only fucks with fuel consumption if it's malfunctioning
@@arvilsstraume9304 you’re completely forgetting the fact that it dumps polluted and dirty exhaust air into the intake plenum causing soot buildup and clogging of the intake runners/valves, which on a 300.000km diesel can be quite a lot. Not to mention the dirty intake air. So a clean up and a delete and she will run as good as new. And when deleted it’s one less stupid component to malfunction down the line and the insides of the engine will stay free from soot deposits and gunk and continue to run happily for longer with greater throttle response and air flow.
@@MrToastyman900 You're right but that car shouldn't be on the road anymore. The DPF and EGR are designed to keep all that NOx particles away from humans lungs. Major cities in EU suffer from that issues(huge NOx emissions).
Why don't you buy a gasoline engine instead and forget about all of these problems? If you can't afford a diesel, don't buy one. My father has a 315.000km Skoda Octavia 2 2.0 TDI Euro5 and the DPF is still running and the EGR had to be changed with a new one and the car still runs very well.
Sold my e64 because i was so in love with it. It was breaking me. Every time i heard a bmw chime, i'd get a gray hair.
Have the same car. Owned since new.
Have always averaged about 19.2 MPG here in USA on Interstate running 70-80 mph.
I recently did 4.7L from Trieste to Belgrade (~630 km) with '18 A5 2.0 TDI (190 PS)...
Mainly drove around speed limit, which is usually 130.
3.0 TDI Q5 Sportback (286 PS) does the same route with ~7L

You know Aziz knows cars, when the one that does get his attention is the Lancia Delta and not the G wagon behind him 😍
anyone with a minute knowledge of cars would know to check the lancia out
i went to japan, and the only picture i took was of a lancia delta hf
You finely reach your goal, after been overtaken of slow cars, no music and no nothing, only boring straight road in front of you 😅👌💯 God job bro! 😎👍 lol..😁
One of the best car channels.
Keep it going 🔥
Personal expirience, I put Aral 102 Ultimate in my motorcycle, 1995 ZXR 400 and with that it gets better fuel economy than 98 or anything else. And the bike pulls a lot nicer through the entire rev range up to 14000rpm.
That comes out to about 25 miles per gallon when I did the math in my head. Very nice to know you can get better gas mileage if you need it.
I had a 2008 Nissan 350z HR 313hp. Going to Balkan from Switzerland (~1500km) I had 8l/100km. The same amount had also the Volvo XC90 2l Diesel 225hp from my Sister. That was a big suprise
Well done, I too have a 2007 HR coupe but never had the patience to go below around 10L/100 km. Your result gives me hope!
@@krzych91krk yeah to be fair, we were driving 110-120kmh and I was in the slipstream from the big Volvo 🤣
Fantastic video! I always wanted to see video like this, where someone would try to get as good gas milage as possible with a huge engine
You've bought one of the best cars ever. The driving experience on these is umatched.
I think so too! Thanks man
5:50 damn that needs a lot of discipline. Driving through a tunnel with a V10 and not flooring it.
In Switzerland it’s expensive if you get flashed
Perfect car for the job! 😊
Intresting challenge. Good point. It always matters how you drive the car. But I never understand people who get V8,V10,V12, the AMG, the M series and drive all the time like they drive Toyota Prius. it doesn't matter how powerful your car is if you never use the power.
It’s more effortless
Even if you don’t use all the power, the drive is just more pleasant with a more powerful engine
U can test Your v12 car on track. On the road respect rules and other drivers.
@@nikolakarovic5964 You can test anywhere as long as it doesn't endanger the lives of others.
@@ToWinYouHaveToRiskLoss U can drive unregistered car without licence allso 👍
Hammer Video! Hesh üs grad en grund meh geh das auto z‘liebe!!!
Such a test drive is only possible in Switzerland :D I did there 7.5 L without trying on my F87
That’s amazing. I can’t get over 11 mpg in mine ever lol! The stock makes it impossible to not drive the piss out of it.
So i tried an ecenomic run on the highway (120-130 kmh) with my N55 M135i and average consumption was 11.9 liters. Gonna show this video to my girlfriend to justify buying a V10 :D
Aye man 😂 check out my m2 fuel economy test i did a 6.1 l 😮
That seems more like a driver problem to me, or you didn't even try to save fuel.
@@tob564 Well like I said, I wasn't going 90kph, just normal cruise within the speed limits, no hard acceleration (but also no ultra slow acceleration), a normal, realistic dive. I'm pretty sure I could get under 10 liters if I try to drive like Aziz, but this wasn't what I meant by my comment :D
Wow ! Is it modified or manual ? I got less than 10L driving 120-160km/h with my 640 which also use the N55 (ZF8) but is way more heavy so I’m really surprised about this
Du bisch fun AF. Bin au a neu BMW fahrer. Hab a 540i Touring kauft. Cheers!
That's insane, have to trade my 2006 2.0 tdi a3 for a 5.0 v10 after watching this 🤣
What gas station is the best or if you could name few which are the best in Switzerland, i always used Shell
Got 2007 e63, can get to 11.5/100km, but also i can mess around a bit, have some fun and still keep it under 20/100km
Achieve 20-24mpg uk in my M6 doing around 70mph. best ever was 28.8mpg when I let my mum drive it, the car was in limp mode which may have contributed. This was over about ~70 miles of highway/motorway driving.
Around town, stop/start, some high acceleration stuff, I see 6mpg. Yes, 6.
That V-class over there 00:11 for sure need some polishing hahah
I used 100 octane and felt the car was much better performing than 98 , maybe placebo who knows …. but was the fuel consumption difference really that big for you?
This was a very very dangerous video. Imagine that Polizei saw you driving so slow. The would have thought to themselves: why is he driving so slowly?? They could have arrested you under the suspicion of illegal substances consuming :))
i had the same model in 630i convertible i drove to spain highway i achieved at 130-140kmh 7.8L/100km
My 850 e31 @110 was doing 10,1L not a big difference with 2.5 @8.6 or 8L per 100.. big engines made for highways
Crazy, in my 1 series you have under 2000 rpm around 100
Hey azizz isn’t engine load just as important as rpm interms of fuel economy? Maybe letting the car shift itself would change the result for better or worse. I can be wrong it’s a theory
Hey man, well the gearbox likes to rev the car out to around 3k RPM which will make it use more fuel. If you keep the rpms low, you will use less fuel.
The most random lancia delta spot ever 😂😂
Just been to Scotland in my 635d and got over 700 miles on a tank of fuel
Aziz where are you from ?
Ecodriving is so boring to do haha, best I did was 1:13,3 with my BMW 130i. 1:10,5 is definitely great for a V10 in a big car,
VANOS problems and tensioners
This test would be cool to see in california traffic 😂
Bmws always was economical more than Japanese and Corian cars with smaller engines
Hey Aziz where are you from originally? You look and sound balkan af haha. Mad respect! Have a great day!
I think he is from Bosnia.
He from Kosovo
Riders of the sun tadatada 😂
Thats about what my E63 650i gets. around 23-25mpg So the fact that the S85 V10 can do it with two more cylinders is impressive, plus it had thick 10W-60 oil, imagine 5w30 in the S85, i bet you could hit 30mpg
I will be changing to a highquality 5W-40 soon to see how it goes. Will do a video about it
@@azizdrivesAziz nimm lieber es 5w50!! Es. 40er wird am Motor sicher nöd guet tue chani sege!
Ich selber benutz im AMG Mobil1 esp x3 0w40 wo ziemli dick isch aber chamer ned vorstelle dass da am S85 guet wür tue, wenner für 10w60 gmacht ishc
I OWN 2 S85S DO NOT CHANGE THE OIL WEIGHT LOL owner of 1 for 10 years and the other 8
i ordered 10w60 bro don't worry, i just want other oil than castrol.@@v12-s65
@@azizdrives shell helix, have it in my Maserati Levante
Next video: driving from Switzerland to Cyprus with my w16 Bugatti and 3l/100km
hahhahah
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Do you know what the right lane is?
Tf?
Nice work sir 🤓 bigger engines takes a lot less effort to do the same job, all just depends on a driver as always. I’m a happy owner of e91 330d xdrive, this winter while doing awd skids from nearly every corner it manages to fit in 12l/100km 🥹 very grateful to experience and maintain german engineering 🫡
i found out my audi 2.0 tdi uses more fuel with v power diesel. healthier for it but very odd…
My 320d does 4.4L with driving like that.
Yeah , but your car is 2.0d man not a mighty V10 💪
ain t the challenger/charger same sht economy?
You try to use a little fuel as possible, but do not turn off the aircon?
yes i wanted a real life review
@@azizdrives Who drives with AC turned on all the time, especially in what looks like +15C outside temp?
reupload?
Yes had to adjust it a little😅
Why not show us MPG as well
Because Europe, dont use miles.
Gallons are not used outside of the US. Not even Mexico and Canada use it
Not the Mitsubishi Colt! Ehe
De Brüeder immer in Affoltere am Albis
There ara so many cracks on rims. quite a big cracks
Much better and cheaper than a crappy tesla that depreciates 50% in one year and then nobody wants to buy it second hand. At least these you can run them for years with minimal manteinance and depreciation without worrying about $20,000 battery replacement costs and battery degradation. My 2012 cayenne has the same range and consumption as new!!!!!
Gear number 7...2000rpm for 100kmph ?
Short gears
how is the 7th gear doing 2500 rp at 110kph wtf.
My 110hp bmw does 110kph at 6 gear at 1800 rpm
Short gear ratios.
I can sponsor you😊
It was more of a joke 😂
@@azizdrives oh😢 well if your ever serious about a sponsor, i’m here😊 love videos so much and always put a smile on my face, happy to be a sponsor if you ever need❤
No shit 100 octane which is around e85 (105 octane I believe) it’s fucking pointless in N/A cars. It burns quicker. That’s common knowledge. Also, in thr states we have 87 89 and 93. Must be nice
Europe even has 102 octane fuel.
This car aint produced to drive it 100-110 on the highway😁
you drove like grandma...nothing special about your result
You missed the point of the video
So cool you bough an M6 and I guess I know the exact one you bough as it appeared in my allerts. I see you are in Zug caton, me too ! @thomaslcmt
