BMW 3 Series: NEDC figures, lists 2001–2005

177 versions of the BMW 3 Series in the Vehicle Certification Agency lists 2001–2005, with combined economy of 20.8–51.4 mpg.

All figures on this page come from the NEDC test. NEDC was the official test before WLTP. NEDC figures are noticeably more optimistic, so do not compare them with WLTP figures.
